    In a small village, a government school has become an example of clean energy use. The school uses solar panels to run fans, lights, and even computers. This helps the school save money on electricity bills. The saved money is used to buy books and improve classrooms. The teachers also explain to students how solar energy works and why it is good for the planet. Students learn that solar power does not cause pollution like coal or petrol. The school has also inspired nearby houses to install solar panels. This change has made the village cleaner and more aware of the environment. Even on cloudy days, the solar battery stores enough power to keep the school running. With small steps like this, more schools and homes can help protect nature and build a better future.

    What does the school do with saved electricity money?

    Show answer

    Correct option: C — Buy books and improve classrooms

    Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow.

    PassageTap to read

    The rise of genetic engineering has redefined what is scientifically possible, but not necessarily what is ethically acceptable. While gene editing offers hope in treating inherited diseases and improving crop resilience, it also raises profound moral questions. Should we edit genes to enhance intelligence or physical ability? Where do we draw the line between therapy and enhancement? These questions remain unsettled. Some argue that altering the human genome for non-medical reasons may lead to a new form of inequality—where the genetically modified have social advantages over others. Others fear unintended consequences: once a gene is changed, its effects may ripple through generations. Science often moves faster than legislation, leaving ethical frameworks lagging behind. True progress lies not in what we can do, but in what we choose to do responsibly. As with all powerful tools, genetic engineering demands caution, reflection, and a shared sense of human values.

    What is the central concern of the passage?

    Show answer

    Correct option: C — Ethical use of genetic engineering

    Ethical use of genetic engineering The given passage talks about how genetic engineering, though powerful and useful in treating diseases and crops, raises serious ethical concerns about human enhancement, inequality, and long -term consequences. Hence, “ethical use of genetic engineering” is the most appropriate answer.

    Theme: The Dandi March Sector: Indian History / Freedom Movement In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi started a peaceful protest called the Dandi March. He and his followers walked 240 kilometers from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a village near the sea. The purpose of the march was to protest the British law that taxed salt. Salt is a basic need for everyone, and Gandhi believed it was unfair to make people pay for it. During the march, more and more people joined him. The British government tried to stop the movement, but Gandhi remained calm and peaceful. He made salt from the sea at Dandi, breaking the law in a non-violent way. The Dandi March became a strong symbol of India's fight for freedom. It showed the world that peaceful protest could be powerful. Even today, it is remembered as a brave step in India's struggle for independence.

    Who led the Dandi March ?

    Show answer

    Correct option: D — Mahatma Gandhi
