Q1 Read the passage and answer the questions: 20 Marks
someone dear to oneself dies, one is left in a state in which
shock and grief overcome the ordinary life. One is left in a
situation when one feels there is nothing one can do. Grief and
mourning are not always associated with only death. It also
happens with other types of losses. It could be the loss of one’s
job, loss of one’s house or the loss of a close friend or a
partner.
The best people who are able to cope with these are those,
who come from cultures that have strict, formal and intensive
mourning rituals. In India, we have diverse rituals which
nowadays are being discarded. But these help in the crisis. The
near and dear ones come to share the grief and apply balm
with their words of solace. In mourning, it is an essential part of
coming to terms with loss. There comes a time when one has
to give up one’s grief and rejoin the mainstream of life.
Mourning in itself passes through these phases. Firstly, it is in
the nature of shock and disbelief. A feeling of numbness
overtakes. The brain is not in a position to accept, it so
happens that one expects the arrival of a loss thinking that
nothing will change and he will be with the lost one. In second
phase, one realises the truth that the loss has actually
happened, and was not a dream. It is now that one feels the
pain. Now one recollects the old moments and the memory of
guilt creeps in.
Here, the affected person displays odd behaviour and has
difficulty in eating and is unable to sleep. One may remain in
this stage for weeks, months and sometimes for years. In the
next phase,reflect from pain and negative feelings creep in.
This leads to the positive side. Now one feels one must make
alternative arrangements or replacements. Here, one is ready
to cope with the situation. One knows that one cannot recover
what he or she has lost but is conscious of the future accepting
the loss and is ready for the alternative.
On passing through all the stages of grief, it seems that time
has passed like a river under the bridge. This shows that
mourning has been successful. One cannot forget the loss but
comes to terms with reality.
Grieve with the person who is bereaved. This shows that you
too value the mourning person. This gives a helping support
and the bereaved person starts believing you. Your support to
the bereaved should not stop after a few days. It may be
needed for months. Assure the affected person that the feelings
of grief will diminish and will not be the same always.
You will see, there comes a time when he or she has to be
distracted from grief. Take him or her out for an outing
especially away from the current situation. If he or she agrees,
take the opportunity and let him or she join the leisurely
ventures.
It is therefore, the duty of close relatives and friends to take the
bereaved out of the depressing climate and give a fresh air of
life and happy thoughts.

Q4
1ans
Ans. Past experiences have an impact on how we view life and our general outlook
*Past*
Past experiences are the things that have made up our life up until this point. They are positive and negative events. They are both one-offs and the things we do day in day out that become ingrained us. They are of vital importance to our happiness and wellbeing. We need to understand them and how they impact what we do now, in the present, in order to live a happy and fulfilled life.
Past Experiences Shape The Person
Our past shapes the person that we are today for the good and the not so good. How we view our past experiences both consciously and sub-consciously shape how we approach life.
They can have a profound impact on many areas of our life including..
1 Our personality – our past becomes ingrained us
2 Humans are a habitual species – what we do day in and day out becomes like an automatic program, as do our emotional responses to it
3 Hormones and chemicals are released in our bodies when we go through certain (stressful or positive) events meaning if our body has experienced them before then it is on high alert to repeat the same responses
4 The majority of people will bring how they feel about themselves from the past and tell themselves negative stories relating to the upcoming future
5 Our mind and body find the easiest. most comfortable pattern to follow, e.g. the pattern related to past experiences
Question 4
Answer 2
Question 4 b
2.
Ans. If Mrs Dorling had recognised and
welcomed the narrator to her house
Narrator will got to know
Mrs. Dorling had committed the crime of misappropriating the narrator’s household things a few years ago. She hoped that the war would uproot the entire family and they would never return. But she also feared one day someone from the family could turn up and claim the things that she kept at her home.
Mrs. Dorling never thought that the narrator would return after years to get her mother’s stuff back. She was a greedy woman. She had been using all the stuff and didn’t want to return it. When she recognized her, she hid herself behind the door and didn’t even want to talk to the narrator.
She lied that she didn’t recognize her. Narrator’s mother trusted Mrs. Dorling as her friend but she displayed an inconsiderate and selfish behavior
