8. Read the source/passage given below and answer the following questions that follows:
The population of the world is not spread evenly over the earth. Its distribution
is effected by various factors such as climatic conditions, developments, fertility of
land, topography, etc. The most densely populated continents are Asia and Europe. If
we consider the population of India, it has a large number of population unevenly
distributed all over the country. The current high population growth rate is due to the
large size of the population in the re-productive age group, higher fertility due to unmet
need of contraception and a high wanted fertility due to prevailing high Infant Mortality
Rate. In most of the cases, a huge population is considered to be an obstacle for the
growth and development of any nation. On the other hand, population growth can also
be advantageous as population growth will lead to economic expansion since more
people can produce more goods. As population increases, the economy can also benefit
from a bigger talent pool, economies of scale and greater specialisation. All these can
result in a higher per capita income which will elevate the living standard of the people
and help in the growth of the country’s economy.

Questions :
i) Mention one factor that effect the distribution of population. 1
ii) “ The population of India is increasing rapidly at a high rate.” Write any
one major reason for the high growth rate of the country’s population. 1
iii) “Population growth can be a boon for the country’s economy.” Support
the statement with any two reasons. 2

Answer the questions in about 80 – 100 words :

9.a. Discuss the political and social causes of the French Revolution.
Or 6
b. Discuss the immediate consequences of the Russian Revolution.

10.a. ‘The arrival of the missionaries brought about transformation in the Naga history’.
Elucidate.
Or 6
b. Give an account on the ‘Battle of Kohima’.

Unit – I (Reading)
1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
A sparrow is a small bird which is found throughout the world. There are many different species of
sparrows. Sparrows are only about four to six inches in length. Many people appreciate their beautiful
song. Sparrows prefer to build their nests in low places- usually on the ground, clumps of grass, low trees
and low bushes. In cities they build their nests in building nooks or holes. They rarely build their nests in
high places. They build their nests out of twigs, grasses and plant fibers. Their nests are usually small and
well-built structures.
Female sparrows lay four to six eggs at a time. The eggs are white with reddish brown spots. They
hatch between eleven to fourteen days. Both the male and female parents care for the young. Insects are
fed to the young after hatching. The large feet of the sparrows are used for scratching seeds. Adult
sparrows mainly eat seeds. Sparrows can be found almost everywhere, where there are humans. Many
people throughout the world like these delightful birds.
The sparrows are some of the few birds that engage in dust bathing. Sparrows first scratch a hole in
the ground with their feet, then lie in it and fling dirt or sand over their bodies with flicks of their wings.
