Model Activity Sheet No.1

By Prof. R.D.Dhumal


Q1. Read the following extract and complete the activities given below.  (12)
          Punctually (promptly) at midday, he opened his bag and spread out his professional equipment,(tools) which consisted of a dozen cowrie shells,(conch of small snell) a square piece of cloth with obscure(unclear) mystic(supernatural) charts on it, a notebook and a bundle of palmyra (tree) writing. His forehead was resplendent(splendid/Shinning) with sacred ash (residue) and vermilion (red colour/Sindur), and his eyes sparkled with a sharp abnormal gleam which was really an outcome of a continual searching look for customers, but which his simple clients took to be a prophetic (foresighted) light and felt comforted.(pleased)      
          The power of his eyes was considerably enhanced (improved) by their position—placed as they were between the painted forehead and the dark whiskers (mustache hairs) which streamed down (coursed down) his cheeks: even a half-wit's eyes would sparkle in such a setting. To crown (culminate/coronate/heighten/exalt) the effect he wound a saffron-colored; (orange-yellow colored) turban (cap/hat/Pagadi) around his head. This color scheme never failed. People were attracted to him as bees are attracted to cosmos or dahlia (flowers) stalk. (axis/shaft/shoot) He sat under the boughs (branch) of a spreading tamarind tree which flanked(boarder/side/line) a path running through the Town Hall Park.
          It was a remarkable place in many ways: a surging (rising/increasing) crowd was always moving up and down this narrow road morning till night. A variety of trades and occupations was represented all along its way: medicine-sellers, sellers of stolen hard ware and junk, magicians and, above all, an auctioneer of cheap cloth, who created enough din all day to attract the whole town.

A2. Complete the given web.(2)



Answer:





A3. The astrologer was a shrewd judge of a character. Explain with some details from the extract.     (2)

Answer:

The astrologer spread his professional equipment and disguised himself in such a way that he could look like an astrologer. He sat near the groundnut vendor so that a considerable portion of this crowd should hang before him. He used the crisscross of light rays and moving shadows to set up his business. Though the astrologer did not know about astrology, he pleased and astonished everyone by study, practice, and shrewd guesswork.

A4. We need to understand even the smallest details of the business in order to succeed. Write your views. (2)

Yes, I agree with the view that we need to understand even the smallest details of the business in order to succeed.

Astrology is the technique for deciding the character and fate of an individual through the arrangement of the stars and planets. Astrology doesn't work and can't anticipate future functions or characters. https://sites.google.com/view/everythingaboutaquarius/
