Q1. Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. (12  marks)
Kavita lived in a coastal village where fishing was the way of life. Every dawn, the boats would sail out, returning with nets full of fish. Kavita, a spirited girl of thirteen, dreamed of becoming a marine biologist to protect the ocean. Her father, a fisherman, taught her about tides and marine life. One day, a storm hit the village, damaging the boats. The fishermen were worried, as their livelihood depended on fishing. Kavita rallied her friends to help repair the boats. They collected wood, ropes, and tools, working under the guidance of the elders. Kavita’s idea to reinforce the boats with stronger materials impressed everyone. The village head, impressed by her leadership, promised to support her studies.
The repair work took days. Kavita and her friends worked tirelessly, balancing school and their tasks. They learned to tie knots and mend nets, skills passed down through generations. When the boats were ready, the villagers held a small ceremony to bless them. Kavita’s father took her on the first trip after the repairs. As they sailed, she spotted a school of dolphins, their leaps filling her with joy. She realized the ocean was not just a source of fish but a vast world of wonders. Back home, Kavita wrote about her experience in her school magazine, inspiring her classmates to care for the sea. Her dream grew stronger, fueled by the community’s support and her love for the ocean.
