गोंड जनजाति, भारत की एक प्रमुख जातीय समुदाय हैं। भारत के कटि प्रदेश- विंध्यपर्वत, सिवान, सतपुड़ा पठार, छत्तीसगढ़ मैदान में दक्षिण तथा दक्षिण-पश्चिम - में गोदावरी नदी तक फैले हुए पहाड़ों और जंगलों में रहने वाली आस्ट्रोलायड नस्ल तथा द्रविड़ परिवार की एक जनजाति, जो संभवत: पाँचवीं-छठी शताब्दी में दक्षिण से गोदावरी के तट को पकड़कर मध्य भारत के पहाड़ों में फैल गई। यह एक स्वतंत्र जनजाति थी, जिसका अपना राज्य था और जिसके 52 गढ़ थे। मध्य भारत में 14वीं से 18वीं शताब्दी तक इसका राज्य रहा था। मुग़ल शासकों और मराठा शासकों ने इन पर आक्रमण कर इनके क्षेत्र पर अधिकार कर लिया और इन्हें घने जंगलों तथा पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में शरण लेने को बाध्य किया। गोंड जनजाति के लोग काले तथा गहरे भूरे रंग के होते हैं। गोंड अपने वातावरण द्वारा प्रस्तुत भोजन सामग्री एवं कृषि से प्राप्त वस्तुओं पर अधिक निर्भर रहते हैं। इनका मुख्य भोजन कोदों, ज्वार और कुटकी मोटे अनाज होते हैं, जिन्हें पानी में उबालकर 'झोल' या 'राबड़ी' अथवा 'दलिया' के रूप में दिन में तीन बार खाया जाता है। रात्रि में चावल अधिक पसन्द किये जाते हैं। कभी-कभी कोदों और कुटकी के साथ सब्जी एवं दाल का भी प्रयोग किया जाता है। गोंड खेतिहर हैं और परंपरा से दहिया खेती करते हैं जो जंगल को जलाकर उसकी राख में की जाती है और जब एक स्थान की उर्वरता तथा जंगल समाप्त हो जाता है तब वहाँ से हटकर दूसरे स्थान को चुन लेते हैं। किंतु सरकारी निषेध के कारण यह प्रथा बहुत कम हो गई है। अनेक गोंड लंबे समय से हिन्दू धर्म तथा संस्कृति के प्रभाव में हैं और कितनी ही जातियों तथा कबीलों ने बहुत से हिन्दू विश्वासों, देवी देवताओं, रीति रिवाजों तथा वेशभूषा को अपना लिया है। पुरानी प्रथा के अनुसार मृतकों को दफनाया जाता है, किंतु बड़े और धनी लोगों के शव को जलाया जाने लगा है। स्त्रियाँ तथा बच्चे दफनाए जाते हैं। 

Q. सरकारी निषेध के कारण गोंड समुदाय की कौन सी प्रथा कम हो गई है?

जब नहीं था इन्सान
धरती पर थे जंगल
जंगली जानवर, परिंदे
इन्हीं सबके बीच उतरा इन्सान
और घटने लगे जंगल
जंगली जानवर, परिंदे
इन्सान बढ़ने लगा बेतहाशा
अब कहाँ जाते जंगल,
जंगली जानवर, परिंदे
प्रकृति किसी के साथ
नहीं करती नाइन्साफ़ी
सभी के लिए बनाती है जगह सो अब
इन्सानों के भीतर उतरने लगे हैं
जंगल, जंगली जानवर
और परिंदे

विनम्रता का यह कथन बहुत ठीक है कि विनम्रता के बिना स्वतंत्रता का कोई अर्थ नहीं। इस बात को सब लोग मानते हैं कि आत्मसंस्कार के लिए थोड़ी बहुत मानसिक स्वतंत्रता परमावश्यक है – चाहे उस स्वतंत्रता में अभिमान और नम्रता दोनों का मेल हो और चाहे वह नम्रता ही से उत्पन्न हो। यह बात तो निश्चित है कि जो मनुष्य मर्यादापूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करना चाहता है उसके लिए वह गुण अनिवार्य है, जिससे आत्मनिर्भरता आती है और जिससे अपने पैरों के बल खड़ा होना आता है। युवा को यह सदा स्मरण रखना चाहिए कि वह बहुत कम बातें जानता है, अपने ही आदर्श से वह बहुत नीचे है और उसकी आकांक्षाएँ उसकी योग्यता से कहीं बढ़ी हुई हैं। उसे इस बात का ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि वह अपने बड़ों का सम्मान करे, छोटे और बराबर वालों से कोमलता का व्यवहार करे, ये बातें आत्म-मर्यादा के लिए आवश्यक हैं। यह सारा संसार, जो कुछ हम हैं और जो कुछ हमारा है – हमारा शरीर, हमारी आत्मा, - हमारे कर्म, हमारे भोग, हमारे घर और बाहर की दशा हमारे बहुत से अवगुण, और थोड़े गुण सब इसी बात की आवश्यकता प्रकट करते हैं कि हमें अपनी आत्मा को नम्र रखना चाहिए। नम्रता से मेरा अभिप्राय दब्बूपन से नहीं है जिसके कारण मनुष्य दूसरों का मुँह ताकता है जिससे उसका संकल्प क्षीण और उसकी प्रज्ञा मंद हो जाती है, जिसके कारण बढ़ने के समय भी पीछे रहता है और अवसर पड़ने पर झट से किसी बात का निर्णय नहीं कर सकता। मनुष्य का बेड़ा उसके अपने ही हाथ में है, उसे वह चाहे जिधर ले जाए। सच्ची आत्मा वही है जो प्रत्येक दशा में प्रत्येक स्थिति के बीच अपनी राह आप निकालती है।

Q. आत्म-मर्यादा के लिए आवश्यक है -

किंतु अरे यह क्या,
इतना आदर, इतनी करुणा, सम्मान? 
प्रथम दृष्टि में ही दे डाला
तुमने मुझे अहो मतिमान! 
मैं अपने झीने आँचल में
इस अपार करुणा का भार
कैसे भला सँभाल सकूँगी
उनका वह स्नेह अपार।
लख महानता उनकी पल-पल
देख रही हूँ अपनी ओर 
मेरे लिए बहुत थी केवल
उनकी तो करुणा की कोर।

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
Africa was once filled with an abundance of wild animals. But, that is changing fast. One of these animals, the black rhinoceros, lives on the plains of Africa. It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper! Even though the black rhino is powerful, and can be dangerous, its strength cannot always help it to escape hunters. Some people think that the rhino’s horn has magical powers and many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns. This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list. The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once had no natural enemies, but is now endangered—killed for its ivory tusks. Wherever people are careless about the land, there are endangered species. Grizzly bears like to wander great distances. Each bear needs up to 1,500 square miles of territory to call its homeland. Today, because forests have been cleared to make room for people, the grizzly’s habitat is shrinking and the grizzly is disappearing. It joins other endangered North American animals, such as the red wolf and the American crocodile. In South America, destruction of the rain forest threatens many animals. Unusual mammals, such as the howler monkey and the three-toed sloth, are endangered. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw and the golden parakeet are also becoming extinct. They are losing their homes in the rain forest and thousands die when they are caught and shipped off to be sold as exotic pets. The giant panda of Asia is a fascinating and unique animal. Yet, there are only about 1,000 still living in the wild. The giant panda’s diet consists mainly of the bamboo plant, so when the bamboo forests die, so does the panda. China is now making an effort to protect these special creatures from becoming extinct. Unfortunately, it is people who cause many of the problems that animals face. We alter and pollute their habitats. We hunt them for skins, tusks, furs and horns. We destroy animals that get in the way of farming or building. And we remove them from their natural habitats and take them home as pets.

Q. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?

Read the following passage carefully.
Discursive writing refers to a style of writing that presents a balanced argument by considering various points of view. This type of writing allows the writer to explore different perspectives and draw conclusions based on evidence and reasoning. Discursive writing provides an opportunity for the writer to critically analyze a topic and consider different perspectives. This style of writing can also be used to present a convincing argument and persuade the reader to accept a particular viewpoint. Additionally, discursive writing helps the writer to develop analytical skills and improves critical thinking abilities.
However, discursive writing can also have some disadvantages. One of the main challenges is finding credible sources of information to support one's arguments. In addition, it can be difficult to keep the writing objective and neutral, especially when dealing with controversial or sensitive topics. Moreover, discursive writing can become repetitive and monotonous if the writer focuses too much on presenting different perspectives without offering a conclusion. To effectively write a discursive essay, it is important to research the topic thoroughly and gather relevant information from credible sources. The writer should also aim to present a balanced argument by considering both sides of the issue. Additionally, the writer should focus on developing clear and well-structured paragraphs and use transitional words to guide the reader through the argument.
In conclusion, discursive writing is a valuable tool for exploring different perspectives and drawing well-reasoned conclusions. However, it is important to approach the task with care and consideration to ensure that the writing is objective and presents a balanced argument. With the right preparation and strategy, discursive writing can be an enjoyable and effective way to express one's opinions and thoughts on a particular topic.

Q. What is an antonym for the word "objective" as used in the second paragraph of the passage?

The digital revolution has indisputably reshaped our society, permeating virtually every facet of life. We live in a hyperconnected era, where the boundary between the real and virtual worlds is increasingly blurred. Though its benefits are myriad, it's worth pausing to consider the potential downsides of this digital immersion.
On the one hand, technology has democratized information, fostering global connectivity and accessibility. The internet, smartphones, and various digital platforms have empowered us with the ability to learn, communicate, and collaborate like never before. They have catapulted us into an era of unprecedented convenience and opportunity, where we can virtually traverse the globe with a simple click.
Yet, this digital immersion also comes with pitfalls. The unending influx of information can overwhelm our cognitive capabilities, leading to information overload. The constant bombardment of updates, notifications, and messages can disrupt our focus, leading to a condition known as "digital fatigue." Further, it's alarming to see the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and disinformation campaigns, which have severe consequences on our societal harmony.
The digital revolution is a double-edged sword. It grants us unparalleled access to knowledge, yet it can also breed distraction, misinformation, and anxiety. We need to strike a balance, leveraging the best of what technology offers while mitigating its downsides. As we continue to navigate this digital landscape, it's crucial to remember that technology is merely a tool—it's how we use it that ultimately defines its impact.

Directions: Read the given poem and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
As I Watch You Grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!

Q. The poem addresses a

Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Initiatives such as “4 per mille” and Terraton aim to sequester huge amounts of carbon in the soil. The 2018 U.S. Farm Bill includes the first-ever incentives for farmers to adopt practices aimed at improving soil health and sequestering carbon. But these initiatives are missing a key point: not all soil carbon is the same.
The very different lifetimes of particulate organic matter and mineral-associated organic matter have important implications for these efforts. For example, adding low-quality crop residues to agricultural fields would likely create more particulate organic matter than mineral-associated organic matter. This could increase soil carbon in the short term - but if that field later is disturbed by tilling, a lot of it would decompose and the benefit would be quickly reversed. The best practices focus on building up the mineral-associated organic matter for longer-term carbon storage, while also producing high-quality particulate organic matter with lots of nitrogen to help boost crop productivity.
Natural healthy soils show us that providing continuous and diverse plant inputs that reach all the way to deep soil is key for achieving both high mineral-associated organic matter storage and particulate organic matter recycling. There are many promising ways to do this, such as maintaining plant cover on fields year-round; growing diverse crops that include high-nitrogen legumes and perennials with deep roots; and minimizing tillage.
However, not all soils can accumulate both mineral-associated organic matter and particulate organic matter. Before implementing any management practices for carbon sequestration, participants should first assess the carbon storage potential of the local soil, much as a doctor studies a patient before prescribing a cure. Sequestering soil carbon effectively requires an understanding of how particulate organic matter and mineral-associated organic matter work, how human actions affect them, and how to build up both types to meet our planet’s climate and food security needs.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours so that it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. The school was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the tiny children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet, and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.
