1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B:
The orphanage is high in the Carolina mountains. I was there in the autumn. I wanted quiet, isolation, to do some troublesome writing. I wanted mountain air to blow out the malaria from too long a time in the subtropics. I was homesick too, for the flaming of maples in October, and for corn shocks and pumpkins and black-walnut trees.... I found them all living in a cabin that belonged to the orphanage, half a mile beyond the orphanage farm. When I took the cabin, I asked for a boy or man to come and chop wood for the fireplace....
I looked up from my typewriter one late afternoon, a little startled. A boy stood at the door and my pointer dog, my companion, was at his side and had not barked to warn me. The boy was probably twelve years old, but undersized. He wore overalls and a torn shirt, and was barefooted.
He said, "I can chop some wood today."
"......You? But you're small."
"Size don't matter, chopping wood," he said. "Some of the big boys don't chop good. I've been chopping wood at the orphanage a long time."
"Very well. There's the ax. Go ahead and see what you can do."
I went back to work, closing the door....
Jerry began to chop. The blows were rhythmic and steady, and shortly I had forgotten him, the sound no more of an interruption than a consistent rain. I suppose an hour and a half passed and I heard the boy's steps on the cabin stoop.... The boy said, "I have to go to supper now," he said. "I can come again tomorrow."
I said, "I'll pay you now for what you've done," thinking I should probably have to insist on an older boy.... We went together back of the cabin. An astonishing amount of solid wood had been cut.... "But you've done as much as a man," I said. "This is a splendid pile."
I looked at him, actually, for the first time. His hair was the color of the corn shocks and his eyes, very direct, were like the mountain sky when rain is pending - gray, with a shadowing of that miraculous blue.... I gave him a quarter.
"You may come tomorrow afternoon," I said, "and thank you very much."
He looked at me, and at the coin, and seemed to want to speak, but could not, and turned away....
[Unit-8; Lesson-3(G)]

(a) What does the word 'miraculous' in the passage refers to?
i. deep ii. mundane iii. amazing iv. mercury
সঠিক উত্তর: iii. amazing
[ব্যাখ্যা: 'Miraculous' শব্দের অর্থ অলৌকিক, বিস্ময়কর বা চমৎকার; বিকল্পগুলোর মধ্যে 'amazing' এর সঠিক প্রতিশব্দ।]
(b) What does the word 'homesick' in the passage refers to?
i. content ii. expectant iii. nostalgic iv. homebound
সঠিক উত্তর: iii. nostalgic
[ব্যাখ্যা: বাড়ির জন্য ব্যাকুলতা বা অতীতের স্মৃতিচারণ বোঝাতে 'nostalgic' শব্দটি ব্যবহৃত হয়।]
(c) What does the word 'flaming' in the passage refers to?
i. crashing ii. rolling iii. howling iv. glowing
সঠিক উত্তর: iv. glowing
[ব্যাখ্যা: অক্টোবরে ম্যাপল পাতার উজ্জ্বল লাল-হলুদ বর্ণকে 'flaming of maples' বলা হয়েছে, যা 'glowing' (উজ্জ্বল আলো ছড়ানো বা দীপ্তিমান) অর্থ প্রকাশ করে।]
(d) What does the word 'farm' in the passage refers to?
i. homestead ii. land iii. crop iv. livestock

B. Answer the following questions (2 × 5 = 10):
(a) Where did the writer take a cabin? Why?
Answer: The writer rented a cabin belonging to an orphanage, situated half a mile beyond the orphanage farm, high in the Carolina mountains. She took it to find peace and quiet isolation for difficult writing and to cure her malaria through the invigorating mountain breeze.
(b) The writer startled one late afternoon. Why? Explain in your own words.
Answer: The writer was startled because an undersized, barefoot boy quietly appeared at her doorway unannounced, and her trusted pointer dog—who usually guarded the cabin—unusually remained calm and did not bark to alert her.
(c) Why did the writer call Jerry undersize?
Answer: The writer described Jerry as undersized because although he was around twelve years old, his physical frame, height, and overall build were much smaller and thinner than that of average boys of his age.
(d) "Size don't matter, chopping wood." Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer: Yes, I completely agree. Chopping wood does not merely rely on large physical size; rather, it demands correct technique, consistency, sharp focus, rhythm, and unwavering stamina—qualities that Jerry exceptionally demonstrated.
(e) Why had the writer forgotten the boy engaged in chopping wood?
Answer: The writer had forgotten Jerry because his wood-chopping blows were so steady, smooth, and rhythmic that the sound blended soothingly into the atmosphere like continuous rain, creating no disturbance to her literary work.
2. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the manner and etiquette in our society (No. 1 has been done for you) (2 × 5 = 10):
As a child you must have been told to greet your elders and visitors to your home according to your culture and tradition. You must have been taught to be polite in company and keep quit while others, especially your elders, spoke. Possibly, you at times grudged such schooling. Possibly, at times you even protested such disciplining. Now, certainly you know that you can't always behave the way you want specially in the presence of others. There are rules of behaviour you have to follow in a company. We are social beings and have to consider the effect of our behaviour on others, even if we are at home and dealing with our family members.
We have two terms describe our social behaviour-'etiquette' and 'manners'. 'Etiquette' is a French word and it means the rules of correct behaviour in society. The word 'manners' means the behaviour that is considered to be polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad-mannered person. Remember that etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society.
We learn etiquette and manners from our parents, families and various institutions, such as schools, colleges or professional bodies. There are rules of behaviour for all kinds of social occasions and it is important to learn them and practise them in everyday life. The manners that are correct in a wedding reception will not do in a debating club. There, we have to be careful about etiquette and manners. We know how important it is to say 'please' and 'thank you' in everyday life. A few more polite expressions such as 'pardon me' 'excuse me' 'may I' are bound to make your day smooth and pleasant.
Flow Chart Solution:
| Box 1 | Box 2 | Box 3 | Box 4 | Box 5 | Box 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Showing respect to the elders | 2. Greeting visitors according to tradition | 3. Remaining polite and quiet while others speak | 4. Learning social conduct from families and schools | 5. Following occasion-specific rules and manners | 6. Using polite words like 'please', 'thank you', and 'excuse me' |
3. Write a summary of the following text (10 Marks):
Accessibility to higher education implies that students get the opportunity to get university education and sufficient support from educational institutions. Increasing enrolment at the secondary and higher secondary level puts pressure on higher educational institutions. But due to limited capacity, only a small number of students may be enrolled in universities. Thus, each year a large number of students are denied access to higher education. Also due to poverty and increase in educational expenses, students of the lower middle class do not get easy access to higher education. Moreover, those who get places in the universities have limited access to avail all kinds of diversified educational facilities relating to their study fields.
Model Summary:
Accessibility to higher education means providing eligible students with fair opportunities and institutional support for university learning. However, the tremendous growth of secondary and college graduates creates acute pressure on tertiary institutions. Constrained by limited university seats, countless aspiring students are denied admission each year. Furthermore, chronic poverty and escalating educational costs severely marginalize students from lower-middle-class backgrounds. Even enrolled students frequently suffer from inadequate specialized facilities and educational resources.

7. Write a paragraph on "A College Magazine" (10 Marks)
Model Paragraph:
A College Magazine
A college magazine is an annual literary publication edited, managed, and contributed to by the students and teachers of a college. It serves as an invaluable mirror of the institution, reflecting its academic brilliance, co-curricular triumphs, and vibrant intellectual spirit. The magazine typically contains a rich variety of creative writings, including essays, short stories, poems, book reviews, informative articles, scientific essays, and jokes in both Bengali and English. Additionally, it highlights messages from eminent personalities, administrative reports, photographs of outstanding achievers, and sports records. A specialized magazine committee—comprising a senior professor as chief editor, alongside enthusiastic student editors—undertakes the rigorous task of selecting, revising, and printing the submissions. A college magazine plays a paramount role in nurturing dormant literary flair and honing creative writing skills among budding writers. For students, seeing their names in print instills tremendous confidence and pride. Long after graduation, a college magazine endures as a nostalgic treasure, keeping the cherished memories of campus life forever alive.
8. Complete the story in your own words (7 Marks):
"Once a farmer had a goose. It used to lay a golden egg everyday. The farmer used to sell them in the market and within a short time he became quite solvent. But his wife was very greedy'......"
Model Story:
Grasp All, Lose All / The Greedy Farmer and the Goose
... and impatient with the gradual daily income. She constantly complained to her husband, arguing, "Why should we wait for months to become rich? The goose must have a whole treasury of golden eggs hidden inside its belly. If we slaughter it right now, we can extract all the gold at once and become the wealthiest family in the kingdom overnight!"
The foolish farmer was initially hesitant, but driven by unrestrained covetousness, he eventually succumbed to his wife's wicked proposal. Arming himself with a sharp knife, he seized the helpless goose and slit its stomach open. To their utter horror and disbelief, they discovered that its internal organs were identical to those of any ordinary bird—there was not a single speck of gold inside.
Realizing the magnitude of their catastrophic folly, the couple wept bitterly in despair, but their repentance was futile. Their beloved bird was dead, and their steady source of fortune was permanently lost. The story leaves a timeless moral: uncontrolled greed inevitably leads to ruin, proving the proverb—"Grasp all, lose all."
9. Write a letter to your younger brother advising him not to waste valuable time on social media (5 Marks):
Model Letter:
Bogura Cantonment, Bogura
03 November 2026
Dear Tanvir,
I hope you are in good health and high spirits. I recently received a letter from mother, who expressed deep concern over your excessive addiction to social networking platforms like Facebook and YouTube.
While digital media can offer educational resources, mindless scrolling for hours is an insidious trap that squanders your invaluable youth. Student life is the golden seedtime of existence; habits formed now will shape your entire destiny. Spending endless hours online disrupts your concentration, impairs your vision, disrupts your sleep cycle, and detaches you from real-world human interactions and physical fitness.
I earnestly advise you to discipline your digital lifestyle immediately. Set strict limits on your device usage, dedicate your utmost devotion to your upcoming board exams, and invest your leisure in reading uplifting books or playing sports. Remember, lost time can never be recovered.
Wishing you clarity of mind and academic excellence.
Your loving elder brother,
Shovon
10. Describe the graph showing 'The number of people living below the poverty line' from 2000 to 2012 in about 150 words (10 Marks):
Graph Data (Poverty Line %):
2000: 35.6% | 2004: 45.0% | 2008: 36.6% | 2012: 31.5%
Model Description:
Trends in Poverty Reduction (2000-2012)
The presented bar graph illustrates the percentage of people living below the poverty line across four distinct benchmark years between 2000 and 2012. Overall, the chart demonstrates an initial sharp escalation in poverty followed by a sustained and admirable downward trend.
In the year 2000, 35.6% of the population lived below the national poverty line. Over the following four years, the poverty headcount experienced an alarming surge, peaking dramatically at 45.0% in 2004—the highest level recorded in the entire series. This spike reflected severe economic hardships and natural calamities during that period.
However, the situation reversed remarkably from 2004 onward. By 2008, the poverty rate dropped significantly by 8.4 percentage points to settle at 36.6%. The downward momentum continued steadfastly over the next four years, with the figure declining further to 31.5% in 2012, representing the lowest rate in the graph.
In conclusion, the data demonstrates the commendable efficacy of poverty alleviation drives, microcredit expansion, rural infrastructure development, and industrial employment that successfully reduced poverty over the decade.
11. Write down the theme of the poem by T.E. Lawrence (Not more than 50 words) (8 Marks):
All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind,
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true.
Theme:
The theme of the poem distinguishes between passive night dreamers and determined daytime visionaries. While nocturnal dreamers indulge in fleeting illusions that vanish upon waking, daytime dreamers are powerful and resolute. They pursue their ambitions with conscious vigilance, unwavering willpower, and decisive action to transform their dreams into reality.
