I will maintain until my death
Answer:
Reference: This line is from Edwin Muir’s poem “The Castle”.

Tamil Nadu 12th English Model Question Paper 5

Context: The poet says this while recounting the shameful act of betrayal by the aged warder of the wicket gate.

Explanation: The narrator was overconfident of the invincibility of their castle, their stock piled arms and well-stocked granary. They had a brave captain and loyal soldiers. In an open war, they need not fear defeat as their friendly neighbours were also willing to join them during a war against any invader. But their enemy was within their fortified castle. They were sold for a bag of gold. Without a groan the citadel was captured. It was a shameful way to lose one’s side. So, the narrator prefers not to recount this shameful secret to anyone so long as he is alive.

Question 32.

That ends this strange eventful history,
Answer:
Reference: These lines are from the poem ‘All the world’s a stage’ written by William Shakespeare.

Explanation: The poet beautifully says the “eventful history” (i.e.) life which was spiced up with many interesting things is now coming to a dramatic close.

Answer:
Reference: These lines are from the poem ‘A Father to his Son’ written by Carl August Sandburg.

Context: The poet says these words to explain how creative thinkers and those who strive to bring about changes are left alone to fend for themselves.

Explanation: The poet asks his son to take advantage of the loneliness. He must enjoy the advantages of solitude. Solitude would help him to be creative. He would invariably learn that final decisions are always taken in silent rooms. In solitude he can pursue his creative imagination and succeed like Shakespeare, Wright brothers, Pasteur, Pavlov and Faraday.

Question 41.
How did a casual incident in a hospital help Dr. Barnard perceive a new dimension of life?
Answer:
Initially Dr. Barnard was grumbling. He wondered why on earth he and his wife should have been subjected to agony and inconvenience. He couldn’t take his dad’s view that suffering ennobles human beings. But the little boys taught him a profound lesson of life. One should get on with the business of living irrespective of whatever misfortune strikes one.

You don’t become a better person because you suffered, your suffering does not ennoble you. But you become a better person because you have experienced suffering. It is not what you have lost is important. What is important is what you have left. We can appreciate light better once we have experienced darkness. Similarly, we can appreciate warmth only after experiencing cold.

The ridge had Hillary and Tenzing two and half hours, but it seemed like lifetime. Why?
Answer:
Both Hillary and Tenzing reached a wide ledge. Hillary deeply felt the fierce determination that nothing could stop them from scaling the Himalayas. He took a stronghold on the ledge and signalled Tenzing to come up. With great difficulty Tenzing reached the way up the crack and collapsed like a giant fish hauled up from the ocean. There were giant cornices on the right and steep rock sloped on the left. The ridge curved away to the right. They had no idea where the peak was.

As Hillary cut around the back of one hump, another would swing anew to his view. Time seemed never-ending. Their original zest started diminishing. The climb was becoming a grim struggle. To their surprise, the ridge ahead now dropped sharply away. A few more whacks of the ice-axe in the firm snow, they stood on top. It was Question 11.30, the ridge had taken two and a half hours. But it seemed like a lifetime as they had to negotiate numerous ridges on the way.

Question 42.
Give the summary of the poem, “Our Casuarina Tree’.
Answer:
The poet Torn Dutt describes the perpetually young Casuarina tree in this poem. The tree is tall and mighty. A creeper winds around its huge and wide trunk like a python. Birds chirp happily. The poet is ecstatic seeing the tree from her casement / window. In fact, she greets the tree everyday soon after getting up from bed. She finds a baboon sitting like a statue on top of the tree. The cows are grazing in the lush green meadows around the tree. Water lilies add to the charm of the pond. She recalls that the tree is dear not because of its majestic looks but because of the nostalgic memories attached to it.

Tamil Nadu 12th English Model Question Paper 5

She remembers the happy times she had spent with her siblings, who are now no more, under the tree. They died of consumption. Their absence makes the tree much more endearing to the poet. Mysteriously she hears the grief- filled lament of the tree when she is on the shores of France and Italy. She consecrates the tree’s memory to her dear departed siblings. Taking inspiration from William Wordsworth’s poem ‘Yew-trees’, she also wishes to immortalize the Cauarina tree. So she sings about it in her poem.

What is the role of the young soldier in the victory of the French at Ratisbon?
Answer:
The young soldier was one of the soldiers in the infantry division leading the battle. On storming Ratisbon, unmindful of the cannon fire, he climbed the flag post with French flag and hoisted it. He received the bullets in turn for his service to the emperor and French army. He did not succumb to the bullets immediately, he galloped on horse back to convey the news to emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself.

He held on to life till he reached Napoleon and conveyed the happy news. He waited with abated breath to know the reaction of his great leader. When he expressed his sadness, his pride was hurt. He denied the emperor’s sympathy and said emphatically that he was killed. He fell down beside emperor Napoleon with a smiling face and died.

Question 43.
Write a paragraph of about 150 words by developing the following hints:
Ivan – tongue-tied – knife – moral shock – innocent victim – faith in justice – wife’s suspicion – loses hopes – belief in God – divine justice. Tsar’s judgement- mills of justice grind slow – Semyonich confesses – cruel joke
Answer:
Ivan is tongue-tied when the police finds knife in his bag. The moral shock he undergoes as an innocent victim of circumstances allows him to have faith injustice. But the moment his wife expresses her suspicion over his involvement in the murder, he loses all hopes. It is then that he starts believing in God and divine justice.

Tsar can’t give him freedom. His judgement is based on evidences given by crooked people. God need not be given any evidences of innocence. He knows the truth but his mills of justice grind very slow. Ivan loses interest in escaping or leaving the prison. He had no one to go back to. At this juncture, Semyonich confesses his guilt of murdering the merchant. When the pardon arrives as a cruel joke, Ivan is dead. So, ‘God knows the truth but waits’ is the most appropriate title for this story.

Sermon on diligence – Roger demands half-day leave – value of hard work – an impartial judge – switches off attention – take notes – self-indulgent absent-mindedness – escapes – rewinds memory – hoodwinks the judge – interview the award committee – judge was quite impressed – Mr. Clay’s office – orderly mind – excel in any learned profession
Answer:
In the beginning of the play Roger demands half-day leave and that was enough for the judge to start his sermon on the value of hard work and his standing in the society as an impartial judge. Roger conveniently switches off his attention and pretends to take notes of the instructions of the judge. The judge almost catches in his self-indulgent absent-mindedness. Roger escapes by the skin of his teeth by just rewinding from his memory the oft-repeated story of his success.

He hoodwinks the judge as to the purpose of his demand for half-a-day leave by saying that he wanted to personally interview the award committee as to why they had not forwarded the documents. The judge was quite impressed. The judge asked him to walk to Mr. Clay’s office in the afternoon. He reiterated that diligence, courage and attention to details are required to cultivate an orderly mind. Without an orderly mind no man can hope to excel in any learned profession.

Tamil Nadu 12th English Model Question Paper 5

Read the following passage and answer the questions in your own words.
Answer:
Black holes are one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the universe. But what exactly are they? Are they simply holes that are black? Well, there’s more to it than that. A black hole is not a regular object with a surface area, like a planet. Instead, it’s an area in space where matter has literally collapsed onto itself. Black holes are formed when giant stars run out of energy. They end their life cycle and explode. This massive explosion is called a supernova. If the star has enough mass, it will collapse onto itself into a super small size.

Imagine an enormous mass squeezed into a tiny space. That space would become compact and dense. This causes the gravitational pull to be extremely strong. It will gobble up and absorb anything in its way, even gigantic stars. Nothing can move fast enough to escape its gravity. Not even light, the fastest thing in the universe! Black holes will gobble up anything and everything in their path, including light.

What happens to an object that gets sucked into a black hole? It will be literally stretched to its breaking point. Luckily, we don’t have to worry about black holes swallowing up our solar system. That’s because the nearest black hole is about 27,000 light-years away! Here’s a strange fact: black holes cannot actually be seen. That’s because they don’t deflect light. So how can we be certain they exist? Scientists discovered them by observing light and objects around them.

Tamil Nadu 12th English Model Question Paper 5

They noticed that black holes affected their surroundings like nearby dust, stars, and galaxies. Two different scientists from the 18th century named John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace first observed them. Then in 1967, a physicist named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the term “black hole”.

Black holes come in different sizes. Some are about the mass of one star. These are called “stellar” black holes. Others can grow and become huge. They may continue to absorb light, mass, and even stars around them. These are called “super-massive black holes.” They can be one million times more massive than our sun. Many scientists believe these super-massive black holes often exist right at the center of galaxies. In fact, we have one right in the middle of our very own Milky Way.

Questions:
a. Based on the information in the article, what is a black hole?
b. Who first discovered the existence of black holes?
c. Why are black holes dangerous?
d. Are all black holes the same size? Explain.
e. Why can’t black holes be seen?
Answers:
(a) A black hole is one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the universe, an area in space where matter has collapsed in on itself.
(b) Two different scientists from the 18th century named John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace first discovered the existence of black holes.
(c) Black holes pull in anything that gets too close and stretch things to their breaking point and hence they are dangerous.
(d) No. Some black holes are the size of a single star. These are called stellar black holes. Others are the size of a million stars the size of our sun, or larger. These are called super- massive black holes.
(e) Black holes cannot actually be seen because they don’t deflect light. They can only be discovered by observing light and objects around them.
