Part-A: Reading Test [60 Marks]
1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B:
I want to write the most beautiful words about Gaza but I can't. I can't not see the poverty, siege and famine, especially when all Gaza city flooded into Al-Areesh and emptied it from all goods in two hours. I can't see the deprivation in every house, the fear and the sickness.
What do you want me to say about Gaza? From when I became aware of it, I was sad about everything inside it. Especially the kids and even the adults, youth, women, girls, animals, stones and trees, everything in it is crying... I'm looking for nice words to say and I can't find them.
The sea is the only thing that helps me dream. When I stand on the shore I can imagine Cyprus, travel to Paris, fly to Rome, all while standing in the same spot. I go around the whole world and in the end I land on my bed in our house, in the middle of the refugee camp. I go back to the reality of Gaza, the dirty market, overflowing sewage, the carts, and what's on top of the carts, the suffocating smell, and the silent people who can't speak.
When I look at the clock and it's 11:55, I start shaking and my heart beats faster, I feel that the war started again. Not only the clock scares me - everything that flies does, even the flies. I can't tell anyone about my fear so they don't call me a wimp or a sissy. I'm most scared for my older brothers. When a fly lands on any of them, I feel it's going to kill him, I start shouting and I run away from the place. That's why I'm now escaping outside the house all the time, because of the many flies.
[Unit-11; Lesson-3(A)]
A. Choose the correct answer from the alternatives (1 × 5 = 5):
(a) The phrase "overflowing sewage" refers to —
i. clean water ii. garbage disposal iii. poor sanitation iv. beautiful surroundings
সঠিক উত্তর: iii. poor sanitation
[ব্যাখ্যা: ড্রেন বা সুয়ারেজের ময়লা পানি উপচে পড়ার বিষয়টি চরম অপরিচ্ছন্ন ও নাজুক পয়ঃনিষ্কাশন ব্যবস্থাকে (poor sanitation) নির্দেশ করে।]
(b) In the context of the passage, the word "deprivation" stands for —
i. availability of resources ii. a state of having too much iii. lack of basic needs or comforts iv. excessive wealth
সঠিক উত্তর: iii. lack of basic needs or comforts
[ব্যাখ্যা: 'Deprivation' শব্দের অর্থ বঞ্চনা বা মৌলিক অধিকার ও সুযোগ-সুবিধার ঘাটতি (lack of basic needs or comforts)।]
(c) The author expresses feelings of _____ when thinking about Gaza.
i. happiness ii. sadness iii. anger iv. indifference
সঠিক উত্তর: ii. sadness

(d) What does the author compare the sea to in terms of dreams?
i. a barrier ii. a gateway to travel iii. a source of fear iv. a reminder of poverty
সঠিক উত্তর: ii. a gateway to travel

B. Answer the following questions (2 × 5 = 10):
(a) How does the author describe the living conditions in Gaza? Give specific examples.
Answer: The author depicts the living conditions in Gaza as catastrophic, marked by siege, famine, and deprivation in every household. Specific examples include dirty markets, overflowing sewage, suffocating stench, crowded refugee camps, and traumatized people who have been reduced to silence.
(b) How does the passage illustrate the impact of war on children's lives and emotions?
Answer: The passage portrays how deeply war traumatizes children psychologically. They live in perpetual terror where even routine sights like a clock showing 11:55 or common flying insects trigger panic attacks, rapid heartbeats, and fear of sudden death.
(c) Why does the author find it difficult to express beautiful thoughts about Gaza?
Answer: The author cannot find beautiful words because the overwhelming reality of Gaza is shrouded in misery, siege, hunger, and dread. The author perceives that everything—including children, trees, stones, and animals—is weeping in agony.
(d) In what ways does the sea provide comfort to the author?
Answer: The sea serves as an imaginative sanctuary and a psychological escape. Standing on the shore, the author can transcend the suffocating blockade to mentally journey to distant destinations like Cyprus, Paris, and Rome.
(e) How does the description of Gaza make you feel? Do you think the writer's feelings are justified? Why or why not?
Answer: The vivid description evokes profound sorrow and compassion for the oppressed civilians of Gaza. The writer's feelings are entirely justified because prolonged military blockade, starvation, and fear of airstrikes inevitably cause deep psychological distress.
2. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the impact of Greta Thunberg's activism for climate change (No. 1 has been done for you) (2 × 5 = 10):
Greta Thunberg is an environmental activist. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2003. When she was eight, she started learning about climate change. The more she learned, the more baffled she became as to why so little was being done about it. At the age of 11, Greta became so sad about climate change that she temporarily stopped speaking! Greta has Asperger syndrome, a condition that affects how people socialise. But Greta views her condition as a positive, calling it her "superpower"! She says it helps her see the world in black and white, and that there are "no grey areas when it comes to climate change." In August 2018, Greta decided to take action. Instead of going to school, she made a large sign that read 'Skolstrejk för Klimatet': SCHOOL STRIKE FOR CLIMATE', and calmly sat down outside the Swedish parliament. Her aim? To make politicians take notice and act to stop global warming. Greta's strike was picked up by the Swedish media, and the word started to spread. Soon enough, tens of thousands of students from around the world joined her #FridaysForFuture Strikes - skipping school on Fridays to protest against climate change.

3. Write a summary of the following text (10 Marks):
The famous Greek philosopher Aristotle said, 'Humans are by nature social animals.' What he meant was that human beings, by instinct, seek company of others and establish relationships, much like most animals of the wild, for companionship and for physical and emotional support. Unlike the animals, however, human relationships give meaning to their existence and inspire them to do well in education, in workplace or in a profession.
Relationships are of different kinds. Some are familial and intimate, formed by blood and by marriage; some are social like the ones we have with friends and some are made in schools where we form close bonds with classmates and teachers. Relationships can also be fostered in workplaces, which may quickly change from professional to social. There are relationships also between human beings and animals, between children and their toys that they cannot part with.
All these relationships keep us close to each other and provide us all kinds of support, love and affection. A person who has no family feels the pain of loneliness and isolation. There is no one to laugh or cry with him/her. When we share our joy with someone, it simply redoubles, and when we suffer a loss and someone shares our sorrow, it lessens. Relationships are thus needed for our emotional health.
To build relationships, we need to have trust and respect for each other, and love where this is needed. We cannot be selfish and possessive if we want to establish an effective relationship. But quite often we see people quarrelling and fighting with each other which only brings misery and loss to all.
[Unit-8; Lesson-1(B)]
Model Summary:
Human beings are intrinsically social beings who seek companionship and create familial, social, and professional relationships for survival and emotional well-being. Unlike animals, human relationships impart meaning to existence and motivate individuals to thrive in education and work. Sharing double our joys and alleviates our sorrows, preventing isolation. Sustaining meaningful relationships requires mutual trust, respect, and selfless love, while selfishness and discord invariably cause misery and collective ruin.

Part-B: Writing Test [40 Marks]
7. Write a paragraph on 'Diaspora' in about 200 words based on the questions (10 Marks)
Model Paragraph:
Diaspora
The term 'diaspora' refers to the movement, migration, or scattering of a group of people away from their ancestral homelands to settle in different parts of the world. The primary drivers of diaspora are diverse; people may be violently forced to leave due to wars, genocidal persecutions, ethnic conflicts, and political oppression, while others migrate voluntarily seeking superior education, lucrative employment, and economic stability. Historically, the Jewish people represent the earliest and most prominent example of diaspora, having been expelled from their homeland millennia ago. In subsequent eras, significant diasporas occurred among Africans through the transatlantic slave trade, as well as among Armenians and Palestinians. In contemporary times, the world has witnessed agonizing waves of displacement, notably the Syrian refugee crisis, the Rohingya exodus from Myanmar to Bangladesh, and the Ukrainian civilian displacement. Diaspora brings multifaceted consequences. While displaced populations struggle with identity crises, cultural dislocation, racism, and profound nostalgia, they also contribute immensely to their host nations through labor, intellect, cultural diversity, and send vital remittances to their ancestral countries.
8. Complete the story in your own words (7 Marks):
"There was a boy who hailed from an obscure background. But he was brilliant, diligent and innovative. He ......"
Model Story:
The Triumph of Diligence and Innovation
He lived in a remote, electricity-deprived village called Shonapur. His father was an impoverished rickshaw-puller who struggled daily to provide two square meals. Despite extreme financial constraints and studying under the dim flicker of a kerosene lamp, the young boy, Ayan, possessed an insatiable curiosity for science and mechanics.
Observing the frequent power outages and seeing local farmers endure exorbitant diesel costs for irrigation pumps, Ayan resolved to invent a low-cost solution. Using discarded bicycle dynamos, scrap solar plates from old lanterns, and damaged motor coils, he spent sleepless nights experimenting behind his small mud hut. Villagers ridiculed his efforts as futile daydreaming, but his resilience never faltered.
After months of arduous trials, Ayan successfully assembled an innovative portable solar-powered irrigation pump and household lighting generator at negligible cost. His invention caught the notice of a college professor, who submitted it to the National Science Fair. Ayan's ingenious prototype won first prize, earning him a prestigious national scholarship. Through sheer perseverance and brilliant innovation, the obscure village boy transformed into an acclaimed innovator, demonstrating that humble beginnings cannot obstruct extraordinary ambition.
