Q.1)Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:. 10×1=10

m
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the modern world. From healthcare and

education to transportation and entertainment, AI-powered systems are helping people

em
perform tasks more efficiently. Machines can now analyze large amounts of data, recognize

a s
patterns, and even make decisions in situations where human intervention was once

g l
necessary. While these developments offer numerous benefits, they also raise concerns

a
about privacy, employment, and ethical decision-making.

One of the greatest advantages of AI is its ability to process information at remarkable speed.
In the medical field, AI can assist doctors in diagnosing diseases earlier and more accurately.
In education, personalized learning systems help students learn according to their abilities
and pace. Businesses use AI to improve customer service and increase productivity.

m
However, critics argue that excessive reliance on AI may lead to job displacement as

m .co
machines replace workers in certain industries. There are also concerns about the misuse of

c. o m
personal data and the possibility of biased algorithms producing unfair outcomes. Therefore,

em la se
experts emphasize the importance of developing AI responsibly and ensuring that human

las g
values remain at the center of technological progress.

a Q.3 Precis the following passages in your own words-:

A.The modern obsession with constant connectivity has subtly but profoundly altered the
landscape of human thought. We live in an era where silence is viewed as a vacuum to be
filled, and any pause in activity is immediately met with the glowing screen of a smartphone.
While this digital ubiquity offers unprecedented access to information and global networks,
it simultaneously erodes our capacity for deep, sustained attention. True creativity and self-

reflection do not thrive in an environment of perpetual distraction; they require periods of
cognitive stillness—boredom, even—to take root.

When every spare moment is surrendered to notifications and algorithmic feeds, the brain is
conditioned to seek immediate, superficial gratification. We become highly efficient at
scanning and skimming, but lose the patience required for deep reading and complex
problem-solving. Furthermore, this constant external stimulation crowds out our internal
monologue, making it increasingly difficult to process our own emotions or form
independent viewpoints. Technology was intended to be a tool that serves human
productivity, but without conscious boundaries, it risks reshaping our very psychology,
trading the profound depth of human focus for a shallow, fragmented state of perpetual
awareness. If we wish to preserve our capacity for original thought, we must intentionally
cultivate spaces of disconnection.

a Give a suitable title to it.

b Precis it in your own words.

In the contemporary world, the traditional boundaries between professional labor and
personal life have blurred to the point of invisibility. The rise of "hustle culture" has elevated
industriousness from a mere means of earning a living into a defining moral virtue. Today,
individuals are encouraged—and often expected—to monetize their hobbies, maintain
secondary "side gigs," and view every waking hour as an opportunity for self-optimization
and career advancement. This relentless pursuit of productivity is heavily romanticized on
social media, where exhaustion is frequently flaunted as a badge of honor and a symbol of
dedication.

By treating human beings as economic engines that must constantly maximize output,
hustle culture inevitably leads to widespread burnout, anxiety, and a profound sense of
alienation. True leisure, which was once understood as essential rest and contemplation, has
been rebrandings as "laziness" or wasted time. When rest is only permitted if it serves the
purpose of recharging for future labor, it ceases to be genuine freedom. Ultimately,
redefining human worth solely through the lens of economic productivity robs life of its
intrinsic value. If we are to reclaim our well-being, we must challenge the narrative that our
utility determines our dignity.
