Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the most appropriate option:
In 1848, Frédéric Sorrieu, a French artist, prepared a series of four prints visualising his dream of a world made up of
‘democratic and social Republics’, as he called them. As you would recall, artists of the time of the French Revolution
personified Liberty as a female figure—here you can recognise the torch of Enlightenment she bears in one hand and the
Charter of the Rights of Man in the other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the
symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieu’s utopian vision, the peoples of the world are grouped as distinct nations,
identified through their flags and national costume. Leading the procession, way past the statue of Liberty, are the United
States and Switzerland, which by this time were the revolutionary tricolour, has just reached the statue. The concept and
practices of a modern state, in which a centralized power exercised sovereign control over a clearly defined territory, had

CASE STUDY – 2
Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the most appropriate option:
Suppose for the present that a particular country is quite developed. We would certainly like this level of development to
go up further or at least be maintained for future generations. This is obviously desirable. However, since the second half
of the twentieth century, a number of scientists have been warning that the present type, and levels, of development are
not sustainable. Groundwater is an example of renewable resources. These resources are replenished by nature as in the
case of crops and plants. However, even these resources may be overused. For example, in the case of groundwater,
if we use more than what is being replenished by rain then we would be overusing this resource. Consequences of
environmental degradation do not respect national or state boundaries; this issue is no longer region or nation specific.
Our future is linked together. Sustainability of development is comparatively a new area of knowledge in which scientists,
economists, philosophers and other social scientists are working together.
Q53. Pick out the cause that enhances environmental degradation.
(a) Planting trees (b) Prevention of factory wastes getting mixed up with river water.

(c) It means the utilisation of natural resources by the past, present and the future generations.
(d) To meet the needs of the future generations even if the needs of the present generation is not met.

resources.
