1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
(1X5=5)
When the Industrial Revolution hit Europe in the nineteenth century, the world hailed the advent
of a glorious new age. It was a brave new world - a world of steam engines and motor cars. Then
came aeroplanes, spacecrafts and finally, computers! Great cities all over the world echoed with
the sound of factory sirens and the roar of machinery!
Little did anyone forsee the havoc that was to be caused by this attack on nature. It was left to a
few lost souls of wilderness who spoke to us as prophets of doom. But their cries were submerged
in the black smoke rushing out from the tall chimneys of a million industrial houses and drowned
by the din of metallic monsters.
Today, our planet has reached a stage when environmental pollution is threatening to destroy it.
Try to imagine a time when there will be no flowers, no butterflies, no fish; when the rain will be
black in colour. This could soon become a reality if we do not take immediate steps to stop
pollution. Today, rivers are drying up and instead of forests, we have concrete jungles.
We must grow more trees. Stop killing wild animals. Avoid plastic bags. Stop littering. Use less
petrol, use more environmental- friendly products - the list of do's and don'ts is endless. We must
all do our bit towards achieving a pollution- free- environment- otherwise we will be destroyed by
a monster of our own creation.
a) What would it be like if environmental pollution destroys nature?
b) What can be done to control environmental pollution?
c) What is ' the monster of our own creation’?

d) What imagination was done in the passage to remind one to take immediate steps to stop
pollution?
e) Give a suitable title for the passage.
