Que.1 Read the following extract and complete the activities given below it. (8 Marks.)
Soapy had confidence in
himself from the lowest button of his vest upward. He was shaven, and his coat
was trim and his neat, black bow had been presented to him by a lady missionary
on Thanksgiving Day. If only he could reach a table in the restaurant unsuspected,
success would be his. The portion of him that would show above the table would
raise no doubt in the waiter’s mind. A roasted mallard duck, thought Soapy,
would be about the thing with a bottle of wine and then some cheese, a cup of
coffee and a cigar. One dollar for the cigar would be enough. The total would
not be so high as to call forth any extreme of revenge from the cafe
management; and yet the meat would leave him filled and happy for the journey
to his winter island. |

White as a feather and white as a cloud,
We weave a dead man’s funeral shroud. |

1st Unit Test Exam August 2023 Sub:- English Std. 12th Marks:- 25 Time:- 1.5 hrs |
The young lift man in a City office who threw a passenger out of his lift the other morning and was fined for the offence was undoubtedly in the wrong. It was a question of “Please.” The complainant entering the lift, said, “Top.” The lift-man demanded “Top-please,” and this concession being refused he not only declined to comply with the instruction but hurled the passenger out of the lift. This, of course, was carrying a comment on manner too far. Discourtesy is not a legal offence, and it does not excuse assault and battery. If a burglar breaks into my house and I knock him down, the law will acquit me, and if I am physically assaulted, it will permit me to retaliate with reasonable violence. It does this because the burglar and my assailant have broken quite definite commands of the law. But no legal system could attempt to legislate against bad manners or could sanction the use of violence against something which it does not recognize as a legally punishable offence. And our sympathy with the liftman, we must admit that the law is reasonable. It would never do if we were at liberty to box people’s ears because we did not like their behaviour, the tone of their voices, or the scowl on their faces. Our fists would never be idle, and the gutters of the city would run with blood all day. I may be as uncivil as I may please and the law will protect me against violent retaliation. I may be haughty or boorish and there is no penalty to pay except the penalty of being written down as an ill-mannered fellow. The law does not compel me to say “Please” or to attune my voice to other people’s sensibilities any more than it says that I shall not wax my moustache or dye my hair or wear ringlets down my back. It does not recognize the laceration of our feelings as a case for compensation. There is no allowance for moral and intellectual damages in these matters. |

Que.2 B Read the following poem and write an appreciation of it. (4 Marks)
A foot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leads wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I am good fortune, Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road. The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them. (Still, here I carry my old delicious burdens, I carry them, men and women, carry them with me wherever I go, I swear I can't get rid of them, I am filled with them, and I will fill them in return.) -Walt Whitman |
