'लोक कथाएँ हमारे आम जीवन में सदियों से रची-बसी हैं। इन्हें हम अपने बड़े-बूढ़ों से बचपन से ही सुनते आ रहे हैं। लोक कथाओं के बारे में यह भी कहा जाता है कि बचपन के शुरुआती वर्षों में बच्चों को अपने परिवेश की महक, सोच व कल्पना की उड़ान देने के लिए इनका उपयोग जरूरी है। हम यह भी सुनते हैं कि बच्चों के भाषा के विकास के सन्दर्भ में भी इन कथाओं की उपयोगिता महत्त्वपूर्ण है।
ऐसा इसलिए कहा जाता है, क्योंकि इन लोक कथाओं के विभिन्न रूपों में हमें लोक जीवन के तत्त्व मिलते हैं, जो बच्चों के भाषा विकास में उल्लेखनीय भूमिका निभाते हैं। अगर हम अपनी पढ़ी हुई लोक कथाओं को याद करें, तो सहजता से हमें इनके कई उदाहरण मिल जाते हैं।
जब हम कहानी सुना रहे होते हैं, तो बच्चों से हमारी यह अपेक्षा रहती है कि वे पहली घटी घटनाओं को जरूर दोहराएँ। बच्चे भी घटना को याद रखते हुए साथ-साथ मजे से दोहराते हैं। इस तरह कथा सुनाने की इस प्रक्रिया में बच्चे इन घटनाओं को एक क्रम में रखकर देखते हैं। इन क्रमिक घटनाओं में एक तर्क होता है, जो बच्चों के मनोभावों से मिलता-जुलता है।'

चींटियाँ ईर्ष्यालु नहीं होतीं
दौड़ती भागती
एक - दूसरे को संदेशा पहुँचाती
जीवन की परखती पहुँचती है वहाँ,
जहाँ कोई नहीं पहुँचा कभी चींटियों से पहले ।

फिर से एकजुट होते हुए ।

निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को पढ़कर पूछे गए प्रश्नों के उत्तर लिखिए।
कौन नहीं चाहता कि उन्हें ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोग जानें। पर इसकी जो कीमत चुकानी होती है, उसके लिए कम ही लोग तैयार होते है। आप चर्चित हैं, तो आपकी सामाजिक जवाबदेही भी अधिक होती है। हर अनुकूल-प्रतिकूल स्थिति के लिए आपको बाकी लोगों से ज्यादा तैयारी करनी पड़ती है। चर्चित होने के बाद खुद के मुताबिक सामान्य जीवन जीना और भी कठिन होता है। चर्चित लोगों से अनौपचारिक बात करें, तो पाएंगे की ऐसे में वे जो बता रहे हैं, उससे वह अलग है, जो उन्होंने औपचारिक बातचीत के दौरान कही थी। चर्चित व्यक्तियों की बनी छवि प्रायः सच्चाई से अलग होती है। विडंबना यह है कि वे 'खुद भी उसी छवि को जीने में लग जाते है, जो गढ़ी गई है। अलबर्ट आइंस्टाइन ने, जिन्हें लोग सुपर मानव कहते हैं और जो जीवन काल में ही इस दुनिया के सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय व्यक्ति थे, एक बार कहा था कि मेरी उपलब्धियों व क्षमताओं के बीच, जो लोगों द्वारा समझी गई है और वास्तव में जो मैं हूँ, एक विरोधाभास है। लोकप्रियता के सामाजिक - नैतिक पहलू पर अध्ययन करने वाले मनोविज्ञानी कहते हैं - टिकाऊ लोकप्रियता सही मायने में वही है, जो दिलों पर राज करवाए, न कि चर्चाओं में चर्चा में होना सरल है, पर इसकी प्रक्रिया है जटिल। इसीलिए लोकप्रिय व्यक्ति प्रायः बदनाम भी जल्दी होता है। उसके नकारात्मक पहलु भी जल्द सामने आते हैं। उन पर अहं भी जल्दी तारी हो जाता है। ऐसी लोकप्रियता अक्सर यह भ्रम देती है कि आप सामान्य से अलग हैं। यह सोच अपनों व दूसरों से बहुत दूर ले जाती है। इसे संतुलित तरीके से न लिया जाये, तो ज्यादातर चर्चित व्यक्तियों के लिए यह दुःखी करने वाली होती है। अंततः यह बात याद रखें कि प्रसिद्ध लोगों को गुमनामी का सामना करना और खुद को नैतिक बनाए रखना आना चाहिए। अन्यथा वक्त की हवा के बीच वे तिनके की तरह उड़ा दिए जाएँगे।

Q. लोगों के दिलों को जीतने वाली लोकप्रियता होती है:

माँ की ईश्वर से मुलाकात हुई या नहीं
कहना मुश्किल है
पर वह जताती थी जैसे
ईश्वर से उसकी बातचीत होती रहती है
और उससे प्राप्त सलाहों के अनुसार
जिंदगी जीने और दुःख बर्दाश्त करने का
रास्ता खोज लेती है
माँ ने एक बार मुझसे कहा था-
दक्षिण की तरफ़ पैर कर के मत सोना
वह मृत्यु की दिशा है
और यमराज को क्रुद्ध करना
बुद्धिमानी की बात नहीं है

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
The day the cat was killed, Maddy watched her mother wind that old clock with her same little smile, cranking the gold key into its funny little hole, as grandma wandered around the dining table in her dressing gown while her nurse read a pulp fiction on the front step, while her brothers scraped their forks against the table and dripped the last bits of potatoes and corn from their open, awful mouths, that clock sat heavy on the white carpet, at the end of the hall, mom humming along to that terrible ticking. It made Maddy's teeth clench. 'Truly, there was no point to these silly, endless family dinners. Always being six o'clock sharp and never over until that clock was wound, thirteen. years of her life wasted for this nonsense so far, burnt up in boredom, when all the while she had some very important matters to attend to back in her bedroom. The longcase clock had been left by "the previous owner, or maybe the one before that, no one was sure. Cloaked in pine wood and always counting, no birds printed around the clock face, no farm scenes or flowers, just black numbers and wiry hands and that was that. Then near the bottom, a long silver pendulum behind a square of smokey glass. It was too heavy to tip, too tall to place anything on top, old and faded and always suspect. Her brothers avoided it at night and the cat avoided it entirely (or used to). The clock face glowing round and white, over the wooden suit, like a pale faced ghost or a porcelain reaper, feetless and shadows for arms. And mom would sing along with the pendulum while the boys knocked over the kitchen chairs wrestling and playing tag, and grandmother would nap by the television and the nurse would paint her nails. All the time, her mom would smile and hum.

Q. The use of the word 'cranking' conveys the meaning that

Read the passage and answer the following questions.
There is a lovely story of a tree and a little boy who used to play in its shade. They had become friends. One day, the boy sat leaning against the trunk of the tree, crying. He was hungry. "Eat my fruit" said the kind tree bending down one of its branches. The boy ate the fruit and was happy. The boy grew up. One day, he sat under the tree with an anxious look on his face. "What is the matter?" asked the tree. "I am going to marry and I want a house to live in," said the young man. "Cut down my branches and build your house." said the tree. The young man built a house with the branches of the tree. The young man became a sailor. One day, he sat under the tree with a worried look. "What is the matter?" asked the tree. "My captain is a cruel fellow. I want a ship of my own." said the sailor. "Cut down my trunk and build a ship." The sailor lost his ship and returned home as a helpless old man. On a cold winter's day, he stood where the tree once was, leaning on his stick and trembling with cold. "Make a fire of me, and warm yourself' said the stump of the tree. The stump of the unselfish tree burnt in the fire, softly humming a tune.

Q. How were the tree and the little boy related to each other? 

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
In this floating village in Brazil, there is only one way to travel. Students go to school by boat. Locals go to worship by boat. Taxis arrive by boat. Even the soccer field is often a boat. There are three homemade fields on land, but they are submerged now in the annual flooding of the Black River. If the wooden goal posts had nets, they would be useful this time of the year only for catching fish. So, young players and adults improvise. They play soccer at a community centre that has a roof but no walls. They play on the dock of a restaurant. And they play on a parked ferry, a few wearing life jackets to cushion their fall. The high-water mark in the Rio Negro this year was the fifth-highest in more than a century of measurements.
As scientists study the impact of deforestation on the Amazon basin, and the cooling and warming of the Pacific Ocean, extreme patterns observed over the last 25 or 30 years raise an important unanswered question: “Are these trends human-induced climate change, or can we explain this with natural variability?” Villagers said that passing boats sometimes knocked down power lines during periods of exceptionally high water. And while the soccer fields are usually available for about half the year, the land has recently been dry enough for only four or five months of play. “We don’t have a place for the children to play,” said de Sousa, a shop owner. “They are stuck in the houses, bored.” The most adventurous, though, will find a game somewhere.

Q. Flooding has _____ over a period of time.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The National Statistical Office (NSO) released a set of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers earlier this week. The most recent data, namely, GDP growth for the quarter ending December 2022, came at 4.4%. This is 30 basis points (0.3 percentage point) lower than what a Bloomberg poll of economists expected the number to be. NSO has retained a projection of 7% growth in 2022-23 between its first and second advance estimates, which means that GDP growth in the quarter ending March will have to be 5.1%. This goes against the widespread opinion among economists that the Indian economy is losing, not gaining growth momentum at the moment. 
NSO’s latest data release includes other sets of GDP numbers as well. They include the first revised estimate for 2021-22, the second revised estimate for 2020-21 and the final estimate for 2019-20. It is not Chanakya’s intent to overwhelm the readers with bureaucratic processes involving the release of statistics, but these revisions to past GDP numbers have significantly changed the facts as far as the Indian economy’s performance is concerned. GDP growth rates for 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 have been revised upwards from the earlier figures of 3.7%, -6.6% and 8.7% to 3.9%, -5.8% and 9.1%, respectively. 
The revisions have had an effect on the latest growth statistics as well. If the December 2022 quarter GDP was compared to the December 2021 GDP numbers before the latest revision, the economy would have shown an expansion of 5.1% instead of 4.4%. To be sure, there is nothing one can do about this problem of comparing hitherto revised statistics with one that will undergo a revision two years down the line. And while one can claim to be wise in hindsight, Chanakya believes that such large adjustments in a crucial economic indicator like GDP have a blindsiding effect on economic policy which ideally requires data in real-time.
But deficiencies in our statistical system are a topic for another column; let us return to the state of the economy at the moment. Any modern economy has its share of headwinds and tailwinds to growth at a given moment in time. What are the most pressing headwinds for the Indian economy right now? First is the dissipation of pent-up consumption demand, which soared after being shackled due to pandemic-era restrictions. Private consumption is the single most important driver of the Indian economy. It had a share of 60% in total GDP in the December 2022 quarter. This is not to say that private consumption is going to plunge.

Q. What was the GDP growth rate of the December 2022 quarter compared to the December 2021 GDP before the latest revision?
