6. What do you mean by verbal communication? [2]
Ans. Verbal communication enables us to share our thoughts with others by using words in a mutually
understandable language such as English, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, French, Spanish, etc. Language plays
an important role in verbal communication. In simple words, language is a syntactically organised
system of signals, such as voice sounds, intonations or pitch, gestures or written symbols which help in
communicating our thoughts or feelings. Our verbal communication can be done either in a written or
oral mode.
7. Explain the term fatigue related stress. [2]
Ans. Fatigue and overwork related stress: It is generated by the fatigue and overwork that you build up over a
period of time as a result of your highly demanding study routines, ever increasing ambition, setting up
unrealistic goals and exerting yourself much beyond your mental and physical capacity. More often than
not, such stress arises from deadlines that are self-imposed or imposed by others or by circumstances.
8. Why is self-regulation important in life? [2]
Ans. In the recent years, self-regulation or systematic efforts to direct thoughts, feelings, and actions towards
the attainment of one's goals has assumed great importance in the psychological and educational
literatures. Your self-regulation allows you to keep a tab on your own emotions resulting as your response
to a specific event and attune your actions accordingly to accomplish your set goal.
9. What are the responsibilities of an operating system with respect to file management? [2]
Ans. Operating system stores all information in the form of files and also orders the files into folders for
systematic storage. The OS allows access to files, creation, editing, closing the files, transfer, changing
the format, etc. So, file management among other tasks is a responsibility of the OS.
10. Describe any two problems related to sustainable development. [2]
Ans. Two problems related to sustainable development are:
(i) The concept of sustainable development is subject to criticism. What, exactly, is to be sustained
in a sustainable development? Any positive rate of exploitation of a non-renewable resource will
eventually lead to exhaustion of earth's final stock.
(ii) Turning the concept of sustainability into policy raises questions about how to assess the well being
of present and future generations. The issue is more complicated because our children do not just
inherit environmental pollution and resource depletion, but also enjoy the fruits of our labour, in the
forms of education, skills, and knowledge (i.e., human capital), as well as physical capital. They may
also benefit from investments in natural resources, improvement in soil fertility and reforestation.
Thus, in considering and calculating what we pass on to future generations, we must take account
of the full range of physical, human and natural capital.

11. What is Mail Merge? [2]
Ans. Mail Merge is a feature provided by LibreOffice Writer that is used to send the same basic letter, with slight

documents.

2. Data source: The file that contains name and address, i.e. data of recipients.
 Mail merge is the process of combining the main document with the data source containing the names
and addresses of the recipients. The final document is called the merged document which is mailed
to all those to whom it is to be sent.
12. What is a macro? [2]
Ans. A macro is a saved sequence of commands or keystrokes that are stored for later use. An example of a
simple macro is one that ''types" your address. The LibreOffice macro language is very flexible, allowing
automation of both simple and complex tasks. Macros are especially useful to repeat a task the same
way over and over again.

the other tabs. Each such tab is known as a sheet tab. The sheet tabs are placed on the bottom

15. Explain the term relational database management system. [2]
Ans. RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System. This name is used for databases that are

laboratory. Most popular database systems in use are RDBMS-es.
RDBMS store the data as collection of tables, which might be related by common fields (database table
