आधुनिकतावाद, अपनी व्यापक परिभाषा में, आधुनिक सोच, चरित्र, या प्रथा है अधिक विशेष रूप से, यह शब्द उन्नीसवीं सदी के अंत और बीसवीं सदी के आरम्भ में मूल रूप से पश्चिमी समाज में व्यापकतम पैमाने पर और सुदूर परिवर्तनों से उत्पन्न होने वाली सांस्कृतिक प्रवृत्तियों के एक समूह एवं सम्बद्ध सांस्कृतिक आन्दोलनों की एक सारणी दोनों का वर्णन करता है। यह शब्द अपने भीतर उन लोगों की गतिविधियों और उत्पादन को समाहित करता है जो एक उभरते सम्पूर्ण औद्योगीकृत विश्व की नवीन आर्थिक, सामाजिक एवं राजनीतिक स्थितियों में पुराने होते जा रहे कला, वास्तुकला, साहित्य, धार्मिक विश्वास, सामाजिक संगठन और दैनिक जीवन के "पारंपरिक" रूपों को महसूस करते थे। आधुनिकतावाद ने ज्ञानोदय की सोच की विलंबकारी निश्चितता को और एक करुणामय, सर्वशक्तिशाली निर्माता के अस्तित्व को भी मानने से अस्वीकार कर दिया। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि सभी आधुनिकतावादी लोगों या आधुनिकतावादी आन्दोलनों ने या तो धर्म को या ज्ञानोदय की सोच के पहलुओं को मानने से इंकार कर दिया है, इसके बजाय कि आधुनिकतावाद को अतीत काल की ''सूक्तियों'' के पूछताछ के रूप में देखा जा सकता है। आधुनिकतावाद की एक मुख्य विशेषता आत्म-चेतना है। इसकी वजह से अक्सर रूप और कार्य पर प्रयोग किया जाता है जो प्रक्रियाओं और प्रयुक्त सामग्रियों की तरफ (और मतिहीनता की अगली प्रवृत्ति की तरफ) ध्यान आकर्षित करता है। "मेक इट न्यू!" के लिए कवि एज़्रा पाउंड पर रूप निदर्शनात्मक निषेधाज्ञा लग गई थी। आधुनिकतावादियों के "नव निर्माण" में एक नया ऐतिहासिक युग शामिल था या नहीं, यह अब बहस का मुद्दा बना हुआ है।

Q. ऐतिहासिक में प्रयुक्त प्रत्यय:

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. 
Nature is an infinite source of beauty. Sunrise and sunset, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests and fields provide joy and bliss to the human mind and heart for hours together. Everything in nature is splendid and divine. Every day and every season of the year has a peculiar beauty to unfold. Only one should have eyes to behold it and a heart to feel it like the English poet William Wordsworth who after seeing daffodils said: And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils?
Nature is a great teacher. Early man was thrilled with the beauty and wonders of nature. The Aryans worshipped nature. One can learn lessons in the vast school of nature. Unfortunately, the strife, the stress and the tension of modern life have made people immune to the beauties of nature. Their life is so full of care that they have no time to stand and stare. They cannot enjoy the beauty of lowing rivers, swinging trees, flying birds and majestic mountains and hills. There is, however, a cry to go back to the village from the concrete and artificial jungle of cities. Hence the town planners of today pay special attention to providing enough natural scenic spots in town planning To develop a balanced personality, one needs to have a healthy attitude which can make us appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature. There is another balm to soothe our tired souls and listless minds than the infinite nature all around us. We should enjoy it fully to lead a balanced and harmonious life, full of peace and tranquility.

Q. According to the author of the passage, Nature:
(a) is the ultimate salvation of man

Directions: Read the poem given below and answer the question that follows.
T'was the night before Christmas,
And all through the kitchen,
My mother was cooking some delicious chicken.
All of the sudden,
The light bulb broke,
And my mother randomly started to choke.
In a flash, superman came.
My brother thought his costume was lame.
And instead of rescuing the day,
He ate up my dinner,
And he flew away !
Santa burnt the house with dynamites and flares,
I guess I was on the naughty list, next year,
I'll care !

Q. The night before Christmas is also spoken of as

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!

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. 
Biodiversity for food and agriculture is among the earth’s most important resources. Crops, farm animals, aquatic organisms, forest trees, micro-organisms, and invertebrates – thousands of species and their genetic variability make up the web of biodiversity in ecosystems that the world’s food production depends on. Biodiversity is indispensable, be it insects pollinating plants, microscopic bacteria needed for making cheese, diverse breeds of livestock needed for living even in the harshest of environments, or the thousands of varieties of crops that sustain food security worldwide. For thousands of years, humankind has used, developed, and relied on biodiversity for food and agriculture. Biodiversity, and in particular genetic diversity, is being lost at an alarming rate. With the erosion of these resources, mankind loses the potential to adapt to new socio-economic and environmental conditions, such as population growth and climate change. Maintaining biodiversity for food and agriculture is a global responsibility. Risking biodiversity to man-made or other factors will always lead to an extremely large-scale famine of sheer magnitude. The FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is an international forum that specifically deals with all components of biodiversity for sustaining food and agriculture. 
The importance of agricultural biodiversity encompasses socio-cultural, economic, and environmental elements.  All domesticated crops and animals result from the management of biodiversity, which is constantly responding to new challenges to maintain and increase productivity under constantly varying conditions and population pressures. Agricultural biodiversity is essential to satisfy basic human needs for food and livelihood security. Biodiversity, food, and nutrition interact on a number of key issues. It contributes directly to food security, nutrition, and well-being by providing a variety of plants and animals from domesticated and wild sources. Biodiversity can also serve as a safety net to vulnerable households relying on it during times of crisis, provide income opportunities to the rural poor, and sustain productive agricultural ecosystems. Coping mechanisms based on indigenous plants are particularly important for the most vulnerable people who have little access to formal employment, land, or market opportunities. Wild indigenous plants provide alternate sources of food when harvests fail.

Q. Agricultural biodiversity encompasses which of the following? 

Direction: ​Read the given passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Everything that men do or think concerns either the satisfaction of the needs they feel or the need to escape from pain. This must be kept in mind when we seek to understand spiritual or intellectual movements and the way in which they develop, for feeling and longing are the motive forces of all human striving and productivity – however nobly these latter may display themselves to us.
What, then, are the feelings and the needs which have brought mankind to religious thought and to faith in the widest sense? A moment’s consideration shows that the most varied emotions stand at the cradle of religious thought and experience.
In primitive people, it is, first of all, fear that awakens religious ideas – fear of hunger, of wild animals, of illness, and of death. Since the understanding of causal connections is usually limited on this level of existence, the human soul forges a being, more or less like itself, on whose will and activities depend the experiences which it fears. One hopes to win the favor of this being, by deeds and sacrifices, which according to the tradition of the race are supposed to appease the being or to make him well disposed to man. I call this the religion of fear.
This religion is considerably established, though not caused, by the formation of priestly caste which claims to mediate between the people and the being they fear and so attains a position of power. Often a leader or despot will combine the function of the priesthood with its own temporal rule for the sake of greater security, or an alliance may exist between the interests of political power and the priestly caste.

Q. “Human soul forges a being” means:

According to Halliday, ___________ function of language is used to tell stories, jokes and to create an imaginary environment.

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.

Q. What will happen if we add low-quality crop residues to the agricultural field?
