SECTION A (Reading) 1. 20 marks Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : 1 Stepping out of our air-conditioned jeep, we could feel the weight of the desert s oppressive heat. Mansukh Prajapati greeted us warmly outside his workshop. A potter by trade, Prajapati has been experimenting with clay to produce a variety of durable goods, many of which were on display in the office outside his lab. 2 We were thirsty and were grateful when he asked us if we wanted water. We had run out of bottled water, and there wasn t any sign of a store nearby to restock. He gave us cups and beaming with pride, said, Please, have this cold water from my fridge. 3 Baffled, we looked more closely at the terracotta box in front of us. It was made entirely of clay, except for a glass door and a plastic tap at the bottom. While sipping the refreshingly cool water, we looked around and found no electrical cord, no battery, just clay. 4 Prajapati explained how this clay fridge, Mitticool , works. The water from an upper chamber seeps through the side walls, cooling the lower chamber through evaporation. The fridge consumes no electricity, is 100 percent biodegradable and produces zero waste during its lifetime. An ingenious invention. 5 Prajapati doesn t work for NASA or Whirlpool, and he doesn t have a Ph.D. in quantum physics or an MBA from Harvard. In fact, he did not even finish high school. His R&D lab is a simple open-air room with clay in various stages arranged on the floor and an oven tucked in the corner is a far cry from the sprawling campuses of GE and Whirlpool, which swarm with hundreds of engineers and scientists. 1.1 1/5/1 8 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer any eight of the following questions : 1 8=8 (a) How did the desert greet the narrator ? (b) Why did the narrator feel grateful to Prajapati ? (c) Why was Prajapati beaming with pride ? (d) What made the narrator feel confused ? (e) Why did Prajapati call his fridge, Mitticool ? (f) How does the clay fridge work ? (g) Why is this fridge called an ingenious invention ? (h) How did the fridge look ? (i) Describe Prajapati s lab. 2 2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : 1 While trying to adopt healthy eating habits, food can be prepared by using basic cooking methods. 2 Steaming is cooking food in a container of boiling water. The water can be scented with herbs or spices to impart it a flavour. Steaming is an excellent no-fat way to prepare vegetables because of the fast, moist, and high heat cooking. It also helps the food to retain essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc which are likely to be lost or reduced in some other ways of cooking. 3 Roasting is a cooking method for meats and vegetables in an oven or an uncovered pan using very high heat. It intensifies flavours. Use asparagus, spring onions with a bit of olive, fresh herbs, lemon zest, and salt to roast at a high temperature over a period of time which suits the food being roasted. 4 Stewing means to cook food slowly with liquid in a container which is heated on a stove. This technique tenderises the food using minimal fat. In order to prepare vegetable stew, we can use carrots, peas, potatoes, broccoli, ginger, and coconut milk, and bring it to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. 5 Grilling is cooking over an open fire or burning coals. This type of cooking imparts a smoky flavour. Almost any vegetable can be grilled using a perforated basket. One has to take care that the food being grilled is not burnt. It needs alertness on the part of the cook. Generally this kind of cooking is an outdoor activity. 6 To saut means to cook food in some form of fat in a shallow pan. For this type of cooking, care should be taken that pieces of vegetables should be of the same size for even cooking. This way of cooking is mostly adopted in Indian kitchens. 7 Deep frying is another method very popular in India. Though it makes the food tasty, it is not healthy at all. Food loses most of its nutritive value, yet it has been accepted over the ages as it is a very quick way of cooking. 8 To marinate means tendering, flavouring, and seasoning food in a mixture of herbs, spices, and some form of acid like wine, vinegar, or citrus juices. This is a great way to experiment with different flavours. Try ginger and garlic for an Asian styled dish. Or go tomato-spicy for an Italian touch. 1/5/1 3 12 P.T.O. 2.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer any four of the following questions in 30 40 words each : 2 4=8 (a) What are the advantages of steaming ?
