Section A 20
Q. No. Questions Marks
1. Read the passage given below: 10
1. Hiking is a great source of pleasure to us besides being beneficial for
health. Once we leave the crowded streets of a city and go out for a
walking tour away from the mad world, we really feel free. The open
air has a bracing effect on the mind. The congestion of the city, the
uproar and tumult, the intolerable noise of traffic, the hectic daily
routine, all these are forgotten and the mind is at ease. We then feel like
running, leaping, singing and laughing. We travel merrily mile after
mile in the company of friends and associates.
2. Hiking takes us in the midst of nature. The sight of waterfalls,
flowers, streams, trees and bushes is pleasing. A connect is established
between us and nature. Various sounds of nature, like the murmur of a
brook or the song of a bird, acquire a new meaning and significance to
us.
3. You enjoy the beauty of nature. Minute observations like a snake
casting its slough, a mouse peeping out of its hole, a squirrel leaping
about on the branches of a tree, a bird flying past us, all these are noticed
and they arouse our interest. We have no business worries, no fear of
the examination, no anxiety about the home. We have leisure to stand,
to walk and talk. It is more thrilling and pleasurable to hike in a
mountainous region than in the plains. The excitement of climbing up
to the top of a hill, the adventure of coming down a [10]slope, the
grandeur of sunset behind a mountain - All these sights lend a rare
charm and interest to our journey.

4. We walk along a zigzag motor road or cut across a mountain path in
search of adventure. We may have bright sunny weather or might get
caught in a shower of rain. We may look below us into the yawning
chasm or up at the mountain peak. The feeling of unlimited freedom
makes our hearts leap with joy.
5. Hiking is one of the healthiest sports. It ensures a complete escape
from the urgent and busy activities of life and therefore gives solace to
our brain. It regains its lost energy and is able to do twice as much work
as before. 6. The fresh air, beautiful mountains, majestic trees, chirping
sound of birds make one's mind and soul at peace with nature. Based
on your understanding of the passage, answer the questions below:
i. (i) Based on the reading and understanding of the above passage, list 1
2 reasons why hiking is considered beneficial.
(a) ________
(b) ________
ii. Select the option that corresponds to the meaning of the following
sentence from paragraph 1: 1

(a) Fresh air causes discomfort and unease.
(b) The fresh air refreshes and strengthens the mind.
