उत्तर
(a) Garbage was a means of survival to the people of Seemapuri. However, it had a different meaning to the children, for whom it was a mysterious package that held unknown valuables.
(b) Rajkumar Shukla was determined to take Gandhiji to Champaran to bring his attention to the cause of the sharecroppers. Though Gandhiji said that he had a prior arrangement to go to Kanpur, Shukla followed him. He even stayed in Ahmedabad for three days and left when Gandhi promised to be there on a particular date. Moreover, he waited at the appointed spot in Calcutta to take Gandhiji to Champaran.
(c) Keeping quiet does not mean absolute sluggishness. It simply means to quit doing all those activities that are destructive and harmful to nature. Mother Earth is also very quiet, but at the same time it nurtures life on it. Similarly, we should also be quiet and do something worthwhile.
(d) The poet says that a beautiful thing is a source of everlasting happiness. The four things that add joy to our life are the sun, the moon, a bower of trees and a clear stream of water.
(e) The Maharaja’s life revolved around killing tigers, but, ironically, he was killed by a wooden tiger. While playing with his son, the king was wounded and the infection led to his death. Destiny had taken its revenge on the king through the wooden tiger.
(f) Dr. Sadao saw the man thrown out of the ocean by a wave. He saw him stagger a few steps then fall on all fours. The man crawled before he fell on his face and lay there. Dr. Sadao found that he was wounded and unconscious. He had a gunshot wound on the right side of his lower back that had been reopened when it had struck against the rocks and was bleeding.

The passage given below is on Kabbadi. Read the passage and complete the activities that follow.
Kabbadi (கபடி - in Tamil) is a contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is also popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Telangana.
Kabbadi is played between two teams of seven players: the objective of the game is for a single player on offence referred to as a 'raider', to run in to the opposing teams half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court–all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be 'revived' for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. The raider should hold his breath and utter the words like 'kabbadi kabbadi, hututu hututu, chadu kudu' etc. while the opponents try to catch him. If he stops uttering these words, he is considered out.
The game is known by its regional names in different parts of the subcontinent, such as Kabbadi or Chedugudu in Andhra Pradesh, Kabbadi in Kerala and Telangana, Hadudu in Bangladesh, Bhavatik in Maldives, Kauddi or Kabbadi in the Punjab Region, Hu-Tu-Tu in Western India and Hu-Do-Do in Eastern India and Chadakudu in South India. The highest governing body of Kabbadi is the International Kabbadi Federation.
