SECTION A
READING SKILLS (20 marks)

1. Read the following text. 10

(1) Water is one of the most essential resources on Earth, yet it is often taken for granted.
Despite its abundance, the reality is that only a small fraction of the world’s water is fresh
and available for human use. With increasing populations, climate change, and industrial
demands, the pressure on our water resources is growing. This makes water conservation
not just a collective responsibility but a crucial individual duty. Each person’s effort towards
conserving water can significantly impact the preservation of this vital resource for future
generations
(2) One of the primary reasons individual water conservation efforts are so important is the
cumulative effect of small actions which may seem trivial on their own. However, when
multiplied by millions of people, these actions can lead to substantial water savings. For
example, a single dripping tap can waste over 15 litres of water a day. Imagine the water
saved if every household in a city repaired just one leaky faucet. This highlights the power
of collective individual actions in reducing water waste.
(3) Moreover, personal efforts towards water conservation often lead to greater awareness
and education. When individuals take steps to conserve water, they become more
conscious of their water usage and the importance of this resource. This awareness can
then spread within communities, inspiring others to adopt similar practices. For instance,
a family that installs water-saving devices in their home may encourage neighbours and
friends to do the same, creating a ripple effect. This grassroots approach to conservation
can be particularly effective in areas where larger-scale initiatives may be slow to
implement or lacking in support.
(4) In addition to daily habits, individuals can also make a difference through more significant
lifestyle choices. For instance, opting for drought-resistant plants in gardens and
supporting water-efficient agriculture can all contribute to water conservation. Agriculture,
especially livestock farming, is one of the largest consumers of water globally. By
supporting sustainable farming practices, individuals can indirectly reduce the water
footprint of their food.
 (5) Critics might argue that individual efforts are negligible compared to the large-scale water
consumption by industries and agriculture. However, this perspective overlooks the
potential for individual actions to drive systemic change. When people collectively make
water-conscious choices, they send a powerful message to businesses and policymakers
about the importance of conservation.
(6) Each person’s commitment to saving water, no matter how small, contributes to a larger
culture of sustainability. By making conscious choices and spreading awareness,
individuals can help ensure that future generations have access to the clean, fresh water
they need to thrive. Water conservation is not just the responsibility of governments and
industries; it is a shared duty that begins with each of us.

Answer the following questions, based on the passage above.

I In paragraph 1, what does the phrase ‘each person’s effort towards conserving 1
water can significantly impact the preservation of this vital resource’ emphasise?

II Complete the following with the correct option from the two given. 1

Water is often taken for granted, despite its essential nature because .

(paragraph 1)

III Support the writer's idea that small individual actions towards water conservation 2
are not trivial.
(paragraph 2)

IV Select the option that best reflects the concept of a ‘ripple effect’ in the context of 1
student life at school.
a) A student’s act of volunteering at a local charity leads to the school
administration organising a large-scale fundraising event.
b) A student who consistently follows good study practices inspires classmates to
improve their own study routines, creating a culture of academic excellence
in the class. (paragraph 3)

D. The techniques and methods used in development efforts

2. Read the following text. 10

(1) A thorough study conducted across several villages of north-west India unveiled
fascinating insights into the mural* landscape. It revealed that a significant majority,
comprising around 80%, of these vibrant artworks are meticulously crafted by the villagers
themselves. Approximately 15% of the murals stem from collaborative endeavours
between villagers and local or visiting artists.

(2) Surprisingly, a small fraction, about 5%, of the murals are the result of sponsored
initiatives, often commissioned by governmental or non-governmental organisations.
These murals convey social messages ranging from education and environmental
conservation to public health awareness.

(3) Among the locally crafted murals, nearly 55% depict scenes from mythology and folklore,
celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the region. About 26 % of these murals showcase
daily life in the villages, capturing moments of joy, struggle, and victory. The remaining
19% feature abstract or contemporary themes, reflecting evolving artistic expressions in
rural settings.

(4) Further analysis reveals that among the locally crafted murals, nearly 63% are found on
the walls of community centres, temples, and other public spaces. Around 27 % adorn the
exterior walls of residential houses. The remaining 10% are scattered across schools,
health centres, and other institutional buildings, serving as educational tools and sources
of inspiration for the younger generation.

(5) To delve deeper, comparisons across various parameters such as demographic patterns,
subject matter, techniques, community engagement, and impact are crucial. Analysing
these facets not only provides a comprehensive understanding of mural creation in
northwest Indian villages but also unveils avenues for cultural preservation, community
development, and creative expression.
