SECTION- A

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:-

The therapeutic value and healing powers of plants were demonstrated to me when I
was a boy of about ten. I had developed an acute persistent abdominal pain that did not respond
readily to hospital medication. My mother had taken me to the city's central hospital on several
occasions where different drugs were tried on me. In total desperation she took me to Egya
Mensa, a well known herbalist in my home-town in the western province of Ghana. This man
was no stranger to the medical doctors at the hospital. He had earned the reputation of offering
excellent help when they were confronted with difficult cases where western medicines had
failed to effect a cure.

After a brief interview, not very different from what goes on daily in the consulting
offices of many general medical practitioners in the united States, he left us waiting in his
consulting room while he went out to the field. He returned with several leaves and the bark of
the tree and one of his attendants immediately prepared a decoction I was given a glass of this
preparation, it tasted extremely bitter, but within an hour or so I began to feel relieved. The rest
of the decoction was put in two large bottles so that I could take doses periodically. Within about
three days, the frequent abdominal pains stopped and I recall gaining a good appetite. I have
appreciated the healing powers of medicinal plants ever since.

My experience may sound unusual to those who come from urban areas of the
developed world but for those in the less affluent nations such experiences are a common
occurrence. In fact, demographic studies by various national governments and inter governmental
organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicate that for 75 to 90 percent of
the rural populations of the world, the herbalist is the only person who handles their medical
problems.

In African culture, traditional medical practitioners are always considered to be
influential spiritual leaders as well, using magic and religion along with medicines. Illness is
handled with the individual's hidden spiritual powers and with application of plants that have
been found especially to contain healing powers .

Over the years I have come to distinguish three types of medicinal practitioners in
African societies and to classify the extent to which each uses medicinal plants. The first is the
herbalist who generally enjoys the prestige and reputation of being the real traditional medical
professional . The second group represents the divine healers. They are, fetish priests whose
practice depends upon their purported supernatural powers of diagnosis credited with ability to
intercept the evil deeds of a witch.

(i) What are traditional medical practitioners considered to be, in Africa ? (1)
(ii) What powers do the plants have ? (1)
(iii) How did the writer feel relief ? (1)
(iv) What does the study of WHO tell ? (1)
(v) Why did the writer's mother take him to Egya Mensa ? (1)
(vi) What is the status of traditional medicinal practitioners distinguish with ? (1)

Find out the word from the passage which means : -
(i)) Depression (1)
(ii) Fluid (1)
(iii) Longing (1)

2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :-

Roshni Bairwa remembers running all the way from her home in Mahmoodnagar Dhani village
to the room where the 'balsamooh' (children's group) met. "My grandparents are getting me married,
You have to do something' the girl then 12 year old told, the 20 or so children sitting there.

The children, all aged between eight and sixteen, trooped up to Roshni's house and urged her
grandparents to stop the impending wedding . Others including village elders and teachers, joined in.
The wedding was stopped, She had discovered a way out of the quagmire with the help of a local NGO
and the village children.

When she was in 12th, the pressure to get married returned .This time her uncle found a match
for her. When she resisted, she was taunted and beaten. People would point to her as the girl who
brought shame to her family and asked their children not to speak to her. I was 16 years old and alone in
the world . I walked to school with my eyes fixed to the ground . I would think sometimes what have I
done that is so terrible for every one to hate me so much ?

"I would cry myself to sleep", recalls Roshni, who lost her father when she was two and had been
abandoned by her mother shortly after. But even in those dark moments, Roshni didn't give up, moving
out of the village to Peeplu tehsil in Rajasthan where she rented a room and attended college.

With education and independence came a sense of confidence. " I kept in touch with the children
in the village. Every time, there was a child marriage, they would call me and I would go to stop it. I
realised, I had already been thrown out of the village, the worst had already happened, what else could
the villagers do? So I went and fought with every one who was getting their child married , " she says
with a laugh. So far she has stopped over a dozen marriages.

Even without the support of the law , young girls have been crusading against the practice .
Earlier this month, 19 year old Sushila Bishnoi from Barmer succeeded in getting her marriage
annulled, submitting photographs and congratulatory messages from her husband's facebook account to
the court. The court accepted these as evidence that the union took place when both the bride and
groom were 12 years old and declared the marriage invalid .

Seema Bairwal (name changed) was 15 when she was married to a man a few years older. Later
when she started attending 'Bal Smooh' meeting with NGO Shiv Shiksha Samiti, and Save the Children,
it dawned on her that she had a choice, "I learnt that my life is mine. I have the power to say no to
marriage.

(i) What is rebelled against by the brides in the passage ? (1)
(ii) Who helped Roshni at the age of twelve years to succeed in her mission ? (1)
(iii) How did people of the village behave with Roshni when she was sixteen years old? (1)
(iv) Why did Roshni move out of the village ? (1)
(v) Write the word from the passage which means: 'fighting' (1)
(vi) Write the opposite word of 'Failed' from the passage. (1)
