Directions (Q.Nos.1-9) Read the passage
given below and answer the questions that
follow :
The future of water will be a gamble-resting entirely
on the way we decide to play the same here. Either we
continue to use water irresponsibly, threatening the
very existence of this planet or we adopt sustainable
and smart water management practices to build a water
secure future.
By 2050, India’s total water demand will increase by 32
percent from now. Industrial and domestic sectors will
account for 85 percent of the additional demand.
Over-exploitation of ground-water, failure to recharge
acquifers and reduction in catchment capacities due to
uncontrolled urbanisation are all causes of the
precarious tilt in the water balance.
If the present rate of groundwater persists, India will
have only 22 percent of the present daily per capita
water available in 2050, possibly forcing the country to
import its water.
Optimists believe that India’s people some 1.7 billion
by 2050, will have integrated water efficient practices
into their daily lives. If the ambitious water
sustainability goals set by global industries and
governments are testament we dare say that the
world has begun to recognise water as a resource after
all.
While beverages giants are focussed on returning
water to the communities where they manufacture
their drinks, food processing players are engaging
with farmers and upstream actors to minimise water
usage across the supply chain and textile houses are
evangelising the concept of sustainable fashion.
Companies have realised the risks emanating from the
possibility of a water-scarce future. This has triggered
companies to re-engineer processes, implement water
optimising, technologies, establish water audit
standards, and use a collaborative approach to deal
with the water crisis.

CTET 2019 July (CLASS I-V)Solved Paper
Answers
91. (3) Options (3) given as noun
clause is correct as in question part of
speech has been asked. The underlined
word here as subject of the main
clause.
92. (3) We will face a severe
water-scarcity problem in future as
mostly because water is not a
renewable source. It is very necessary
to take effective measure right from
now to conserve water and use it
judiciously.
93. (2) Flawless water infrastructure
will not lead to severe water imbalance.
Water balance means flow of water in
and out of a system.
94. (3) Persistent groundwater
depletion will not necessitate shutting
down of industries as companies have
realised the dangers resulting from
water-scarcity. They are making efforts
to implement water optimising
technologies and cooperate with
others to deal with water crisis.
95. (1) Optimist cannot pin their
hopes for better water management
on treating sea water for domestic
and industrial sectors. Water
demand is on the rise and by using
new technologies more water can
be conserved but use of water
cannot be stopped.
96. (4) The problem of acute water
shortage cannot be solved by
discovering a viable substitute for
water. In the passage, the author
has just talked about measures to
evolve integrated water efficient
practices and smart water
management practices but no
where he has discussed about
discovering a viable substitute for
water.
97. (3) Menacing is most similar in
meaning to the word threatening
as used in the passage. Both words
mean having a hostile or deliberately
menacing quality.
98. (2) Decrease is correct opposite
of the word ‘increase’. The word
‘increase’ means get larger or expand
whereas the word decrease means to
become less.
99. (3) Adjective clause is dependent
clause that works to describe a noun
in a sentence. It functions as an
adjective i.e. describes quality of a
noun or pronoun even though it is
made up of a group of words instead
of just one word. Here the
underlined clause is telling us more
about the Adjective clause ‘village’.
100. (2) The expression ‘brothers
run your course now’ means to keep
on moving towards your goal. The
poet Schiller in this poem calls
everyone as ‘brothers’ talking about
universal brotherhood.

Directions (Q.Nos.1-9) Read the passage
given below and answer the questions that
follow :
The future of water will be a gamble-resting entirely
on the way we decide to play the same here. Either we
continue to use water irresponsibly, threatening the
very existence of this planet or we adopt sustainable
and smart water management practices to build a water
secure future.
By 2050, India’s total water demand will increase by 32
percent from now. Industrial and domestic sectors will
account for 85 percent of the additional demand.
Over-exploitation of ground-water, failure to recharge
acquifers and reduction in catchment capacities due to
uncontrolled urbanisation are all causes of the
precarious tilt in the water balance.
If the present rate of groundwater persists, India will
have only 22 percent of the present daily per capita
water available in 2050, possibly forcing the country to
import its water.
Optimists believe that India’s people some 1.7 billion
by 2050, will have integrated water efficient practices
into their daily lives. If the ambitious water
sustainability goals set by global industries and
governments are testament we dare say that the
world has begun to recognise water as a resource after
all.
While beverages giants are focussed on returning
water to the communities where they manufacture
their drinks, food processing players are engaging
with farmers and upstream actors to minimise water
usage across the supply chain and textile houses are
evangelising the concept of sustainable fashion.
Companies have realised the risks emanating from the
possibility of a water-scarce future. This has triggered
companies to re-engineer processes, implement water
optimising, technologies, establish water audit
standards, and use a collaborative approach to deal
with the water crisis.

CTET 2019 July (CLASS I-V)Solved Paper
Answers
91. (3) Options (3) given as noun
clause is correct as in question part of
speech has been asked. The underlined
word here as subject of the main
clause.
92. (3) We will face a severe
water-scarcity problem in future as
mostly because water is not a
renewable source. It is very necessary
to take effective measure right from
now to conserve water and use it
judiciously.
93. (2) Flawless water infrastructure
will not lead to severe water imbalance.
Water balance means flow of water in
and out of a system.
94. (3) Persistent groundwater
depletion will not necessitate shutting
down of industries as companies have
realised the dangers resulting from
water-scarcity. They are making efforts
to implement water optimising
technologies and cooperate with
others to deal with water crisis.
95. (1) Optimist cannot pin their
hopes for better water management
on treating sea water for domestic
and industrial sectors. Water
demand is on the rise and by using
new technologies more water can
be conserved but use of water
cannot be stopped.
96. (4) The problem of acute water
shortage cannot be solved by
discovering a viable substitute for
water. In the passage, the author
has just talked about measures to
evolve integrated water efficient
practices and smart water
management practices but no
where he has discussed about
discovering a viable substitute for
water.
97. (3) Menacing is most similar in
meaning to the word threatening
as used in the passage. Both words
mean having a hostile or deliberately
menacing quality.
98. (2) Decrease is correct opposite
of the word ‘increase’. The word
‘increase’ means get larger or expand
whereas the word decrease means to
become less.
99. (3) Adjective clause is dependent
clause that works to describe a noun
in a sentence. It functions as an
adjective i.e. describes quality of a
noun or pronoun even though it is
made up of a group of words instead
of just one word. Here the
underlined clause is telling us more
about the Adjective clause ‘village’.
100. (2) The expression ‘brothers
run your course now’ means to keep
on moving towards your goal. The
poet Schiller in this poem calls
everyone as ‘brothers’ talking about
universal brotherhood.

CTET 2019 July (CLASS I-V)Solved Paper
101. (1) God’s creatures are most
fortunate and happy as they have a
benevolent Mother Nature to look
after them. Mother Nature always
provides solace and comfort to people
living under stress and tension due to
modern life style. So the poet
consoles everyone not to feel
unhappy although to get a relaxztion
in the lap of Mother Nature.
102. (4) The statement clearly states
that the evil people are not embraced
or comforted by Mother Nature.
Only honest and true people are
loved by Mother Nature. But
according to the poet, all just and evil
people are allowed to take comfort in
her lap.
103. (4) According to the poem, a
true friend proves true even in death.
He is there to support our family
even when we are gone as he has
shared our joy and sorrows while we
were being alive.
104. (4) Rosy path here refers to
nature’s bounty which is enjoyed
equally both by honest people as well
as people who are ‘evil’ as per the poet.
105. (4) In this figure of speech,
human qualities are given to
non-living objects. Here in this line -
All creation is non-living or inanimate
has been given human qualities, hence
option (4) ‘Personification’ is the
correct answer.
106. (2) English got the status of the
associate official language Act,
Article-343. Article-343 of the Indian
Constitution designated Hindi as the
official language of the Union. It also
provided for the continued use of
English for all official purposes or a
period of 15 years. After 9 years,
English came to be known as an
‘Associate Official Language’,
recommending the use of English for a
longer period.
107. (1) The teacher is usingwhole
languageapproach in her class.
This approach emphasises learning
whole words and phrases by
encountering them in meaningful
contexts rather than by phonic
exercises.
108. (4) Behaviouristic approach
lays a lot of emphasis on habit
formation.
109. (4) Linguistic-Verbal
Intelligence is one of the theory of
multiple intelligences. According to
this theory, people who are strong in
linguistic or verbal intelligence are
able to use words well, both while
writing or speaking.
110. (2) Banishing mother tongue in
the classroom is the characteristic
feature ofDirect method. Direct
method is a method of teaching
foreign languages that uses the target
language, discarding any use of
mother tongue in the classroom.
111. (3)Semantics deals with the
level of meaning in language. It can
be applied to entire texts or to single
word.
112 (1) He should use the child’s
language as a resource and start
teaching. To start with he can learn
a little of local language to carry on
conversation and slowly reduce their
use of local language.
113. (2) A teacher most importantly
focuses on choosing a topic from
their surroundings. As learners are
familiar with their surroundings,
they can use ideas and vocabulary
required for that particular activity.
114. (4) Some children do not have
exposure to English outside the
classroom. So, the teacher’s
proficiency in spoken English is
essential because the students may
listen to and process the new
language before they actually
communicate in it.
115. (4) Participation in role-plays
on any one of the favourite scenes
will provide ample opportunity for
learners to learn oral language. Role
play implies use of dialogues using a
language so it is a good opportunity
to develop oral language.
116. (2) Group discussion and peer
interaction are important elements
of language learning.
Constructivism explains how
learners might acquire knowledge
and learn the theory suggests that
humans construct knowledge and
meaning from their experiences.
Teachers here seek and value
student’s point of view.
117. (4) Using functional approach
is one of the best method of
teaching grammar as it seeks
teaching grammar through social
interaction and creation of meaning.
It is based on teaching content that
is designated as the users needs.
118. (4) A textbook helps to
achieve the objectives laid down in
the curriculum. Text books
represent a useful resource for both
teachers and learners.
119. (1) The purpose of diagnostic
test in language learning is to know
the gaps in learner’s understanding.
Diagnostic tests measure a student’s
understanding of a subject area or
skill base.
120. (1) The objective of
Continuous Comprehensive
Evaluation (CCE) in language is to
assess the level of competencies
achieved by the children. It aims at
finding out what the child knows,
what he can do and what
intelligence he has got rather than
what the child cannot do.
