______________________________________


Question 1.Bill Bryson says, 7 am, in short, easily confused’. What examples has he given to justify this ?
Answer:
Bill Bryson gives many examples to prove this. He can’t find out the lavatory in a cinema. He goes to look for it. But he ends standing in a small street. Then he forgets his room number in a hotel. He asks the reception about it. So he is confused.    

Question 2.What happens when the zip on his carry-on bag gives way ?
Answer:

The contents of the bag came out. These were a tin of pipe tobacco, magazines, passport, English money, film etc. They spread over an area. It was about the size of a tennis court. Hundreds of documents came flying. The author was surprised.

Question 3.Why is his finger bleeding ? What is his wife’s reaction ?
Answer:

His finger bled because he got it injured. He pulled the zip forcefully and got a deep wound. Blood came out in plenty. His wife looked at him in wonder and anger. She said that she couldn’t believe he did that for a living.

Question 4.How does Bill Bryson end up in a ‘crash position’ in the aircraft ? (CBSE)
Answer:

Once on an aeroplane Bill Bryson leaned to tie his shoelace. But then someone threw his seat back. He was knocked and pinned in a crash position. He had to catch the leg of the man sitting next to him. Then he managed to free himself.

Question 5.Why are his teeth and gums navy blue ?
Answer:

Once the author was flying. He was writing his thoughts. The end tip of his pen was in his mouth. He was sucking it. He started talking to a lady. She was sitting on the next seat. The pen leaked. It had covered his mouth, chin, tongue, teeth and gums with navy blue ink.

Question 6.Bill Bryson ‘ached to be suave’. Is he successful in his mission ? List his ‘unsuave’ ways.
Answer:
Bill Bryson wanted to be suave. But he couldn’t. He would rise from a dinner table shaking greatly. He would get in a car leaving his coat hanging outside. He would sit on chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrup or motor oil.

Question 7.Why do you think Bill Bryson’s wife says to the children, ‘Take the lids off the food for Daddy’ ?
Answer:
Bill Bryson’s wife would say this to the children because he won’t do things nicely. If he cut the meat, it would fly off onto the lap of somebody. He won’t open the lids of the food in the aeroplane. It would also fly off to trouble other passengers.

CLASS-8 SUBJECT SOCIAL SCIENCE CHAPTER-10 CIvic (Law and social Justice)

 EVENTS CONVENT HIGH SCHOOL

26/11/2021      CLASS- 8   SESSION 2021-22
SUBJECT : SOCIAL SCIENCE 

CHAPTER-10 CIVIC 
LAW AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

______________________________________


Question 1 What are the advantages to foreign companies in setting up production in India?
Solution:

India provides cheap labour compared to some other countries. Wages paid to workers in foreign countries are much higher than in India. For lower pay, foreign companies can get long hours of work. Additional expenses such as housing facilities for workers are also fewer in India. Thus, foreign companies can save costs and earn higher profits.

Question 2 Do you think the victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy got justice? Discuss.
Solution:

The victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy did not get justice. The disaster was caused due to gross neglect of safety measures by the management of the factory.

The government of India represented the people to legally claim compensation for the affected people. The government demanded $ 3 billion but had to accept a meager $ 470 million from the Company.
Today, 24 years after the disaster, people of Bhopal are still fighting for justice.

Question 3 What do we mean when we speak of law enforcement? Who is responsible for enforcement? Why is enforcement so important?
Solution:

  1. When we speak of law enforcement, we mean that the provisions of the law must be applied to all and sundry without discrimination.
  2. Government is responsible for law enforcement.
  3. Rights of workers and citizens to be protected.
    • With more industries being set up by both Indians and foreign businesses, there is a greater need for stronger laws.
    • It is all the more important to safeguard our environment.

Question 4. How can laws ensure that markets work in a manner that is fair? Give two examples to support your answer.
Solution:

Law can ensure that markets work in a manner that is fair by ensuring the enforcement of the law in letter and spirit.

  • Law against hoarding and black marketing must be enforced in such a way that stringent punishment is given to the violators of the law and the hoarded goods must be forfeited.
  • Anti Child Labour Act must be enforced, not a single child must be allowed to work in shops, tea stalls, and restaurants.

Question 5 Write a paragraph on the various roles of the government that you have read about in this unit.
Solution:

The common man is exploited in most societies. When this happens it is the duty of the government to ensure that social justice prevails and all the citizens can establish their rights.

The government has passed many laws to guarantee that workers are not exploited by unscrupulous employers. Payment of Wages Act, 1936; Minimum Wages Act, 1948; Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 is some of the Acts that ensure that workers are not underpaid and exploited.

The government has passed the Factories Act, 1948. This Act regulates health, safety, welfare, and other working conditions of workers in factories. 

The Consumer Protection Act ensures that the consumer is not put to risk by the poor quality of products such as electrical appliances, food, and medicines. The Bureau of Indian Standards is a government organization that oversees the quality of products sold.

The government has also passed laws that ensure that essential products such as food grains, sugar, and kerosene are not highly-priced.

The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, was passed to protect the environment and avert health hazards to human beings.

The Trade Unions Act, 1926 provides for registration of trade unions with a view to render lawful organisation of labour to enable collective bargaining.

Question 6 How was the environment treated earlier? What has been the change in perception?
Solution:

In 1984, there were very few laws to protect the environment in India. These few laws were not enforced strictly by the government. Industries discharged their waste into water bodies and made it unfit for consumption. The air was polluted with smoke that bellowed from the factories.

This pollution proved to be a health hazard for the people. The Bhopal disaster brought the issue of environmental pollution into focus.

The existing laws did not protect the common man from industrial disasters. Environmental activists insisted on new laws which will protect all the citizens from hazardous pollution of the environment. 

According to the new laws imposed by the government the polluter will be held accountable for the damage done to the environment.

The Right to Life is a Fundamental Right under Article 21 of the Constitution and it includes the right to the enjoyment of pollution-free water and air for full enjoyment of life.

CLASS-7 Subject-Science Chapter-10 Respiration in animals and plants

 EVENTS CONVENT HIGH SCHOOL

16/11/2021      CLASS - 7   SESSION 2021-22
SUBJECT :  SCIENCE

CHAPTER-10 RESPIRATION IN ANIMALS AND PLANTS
______________________________________


Q1. Why does an athlete breathe faster and deeper than usual after finishing the race?

Answer:
During the run, the demand of energy is high but the supply of oxygen to produce energy is limited. Therefore, anaerobic respiration takes places in the muscle cells to fulfill the demand of energy. After finishing the race, an athlete breathe faster and deeper than usual so that more oxygen is supplied to the cells.

Q2. List the similarities and differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Answer:
Similarity:
(i) In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, food is broken down to release energy.
(ii) Both takes place inside cells.
(iii) Both produces byproducts.

Differences:

Aerobic RespirationAnaerobic Respiration
(i) It takes place in the presence of oxygen.(i) It takes place in the absence of oxygen.
(ii) Energy is released in higher amount.(ii) Energy is released in lesser amount.
(iii) Carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts.(iii) Carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts.
(iv) It is a slow process.(iv) It is a fast process.
(v) Examples: Animals and plants cells.(iv) Examples: Human cells, yeast, Bacteria etc.

Q3. Why do we often sneeze when we inhale a lot of dust-laden air?
Answer:
We often sneeze when we inhale a lot of dust-laden air to expel out these foreign particles. These particles get past the hair in the nasal cavity and irritate the lining of the cavity which results in sneezing.

Q4. Take three test-tubes. Fill each of them with water. Label them A, B and C. Keep a snail in test-tube A, a water plant in test-tube B and in C, keep snail and plant both. Which test-tube would have the highest concentration of CO2 ?
Answer:
Test-tube A will have the highest concentration of CO2 because snail will take in oxygen and gives out CO2.
In test-tubes B and C, the CO2 will be utilized by the water plant for synthesizing food and hence there will be less concentration of CO2 in these.

Q5. Tick the correct answer:
(a) In cockroaches, air enters the body through
(i) lungs
(ii) gills
(iii) spiracles
(iv) skin
Answer: (iii) spiracles

CHAPTER-10
LIGHT REFLECTION & REFRACTION

______________________________________


Question 1 Which one of the following materials cannot be used to make a lens ?
(a) Water
(b) Glass
(c) Plastic
(d) Clay
Answer:
(d) Clay

Question 2 The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object ?
(a) Between the principal focus and the centre of curvature
(b) At the centre of curvature
(c) Beyond the centre of curvature
(d) Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus.
Answer:
(d) Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus.

Question 3 Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the size of the object ?
(a) At the principal focus of the lens (b) At twice the focal length
(c) At infinity
(d) Between the optical centre of the lens and its principal focus.
Answer:
(b) At twice the focal length.

Question 4 A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be :
(a) Both concave.
(b) Both convex.
(c) the mirror is concave and the lens is convex.
(d) the mirror is convex, but the lens is concave.
Answer:
(a) Both concave

Question 5 No matter how far you stand from mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror is likely to be
(a) plane
(b) concave
(c) convex
(d) either plane or convex.
Answer:
(d) Either plane or convex.

Question 6 Which of the following lenses would you prefer to use while reading small letters found in a dictionary ?
(a) A convex lens of focal length 50 cm.
(b) A concave lens of focal length 50 cm.
(c) A convex lens of focal length 5 cm.
(d) A concave lens of focal length 5 cm.
Answer:
(c) A convex lens of focal length 5 cm.

Question 7 We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror ? What is the nature of the image ? Is the image larger or smaller than the object ? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
Answer:
A concave mirror gives an erect image when the object is placed between the focus F and the pole P of the concave mirror, i.e., between 0 and 15 cm from the mirror. The image thus formed will be virtual, erect and larger than the object.
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light Reflection and Refraction Chapter End Questions Q7

Question 8 Name the type of mirror used in the following situations.
(a) Headlights of a car.
(b) Side/rear-view mirror of a vehicle.
(c) Solar furnace.
Support your answer with reason.
Answer:
(a) Concave mirrors are used as reflectors in headlights of cars. When a bulb is located at the focus of the concave mirror, the light rays after reflection from the mirror travel over a large distance as a parallel beam of high intensity.

(b) A convex mirror is used as a side/rear-view mirror of a vehicle because

  • A convex mirror always forms an erect, virtual and diminished image of an object placed anywhere in front it.
  • A convex mirror has a wider field of view than a plane mirror of the same size.

(c) Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnaces.

Question 9 One-half of a convex lens is covered with a black paper. Will this lens produce a complete image of the object ? Verify your answer experimentally. Explain your observations.
Answer:
A convex lens forms complete image of an object, even if its one half is covered with black paper. It can be explained by considering following two cases.
Case I : When the upper half of the lens is covered
In this case, a ray of light coming from the object will be refracted by the lower half of the lens. These rays meet at the other side of the lens to form the image of the given object, as shown in the following figure.
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light Reflection and Refraction Chapter End Questions Q9

Case II: When the lower half of the lens Is covered
In this case, a ray of light coming from the object is refracted by the upper half of the lens. These rays meet at the other side of the lens to form the image of the given object, as shown in the given figure.

Question 10 An object 5 cm in length is held 25 cm away from a converging lens of focal length 10 cm. Draw the ray diagram and find the position, size and the nature of the image formed.
Answer:
Here : Object distance, u= -25 cm,
Object height, h = 5 cm,
Focal length, f = +10 cm
According to the lens formula, 1f=1ν1u , we have
⇒ 1ν=1f1u=110125=15250orν=25015=16.66cm
The positive value of v shows that the image is formed at the other side of the lens.
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light Reflection and Refraction Chapter End Questions Q10
The negative value of image height indicates that the image formed is inverted.
The position, size, and nature of image are shown alongside in the ray diagram.

Question 11
A concave lens of focal length 15 cm forms an image 10 cm from the lens. How far is the object placed from the lens ? Draw the ray diagram.
Solution:
Focal length, f = -15 cm, Image distance, ν = -10 cm (as concave lens forms the image on the same side of the lens)
From the lens formula 1f=1ν1u , we have
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light Reflection and Refraction Chapter End Questions Q11
Object distance, u = -30 cm
The negative value of u indicates that the object is placed in front of the lens.

Question 12
An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the position and nature of the image.
Solution:
Object distance, u = -10 cm, Focal length, f = +15 cm, Image distance, ν = ?
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 10 Light Reflection and Refraction Chapter End Questions Q12
Thus, image distance, ν = + 6 cm
Because ν is +ve, so a virtual image is formed at a distance of 6 cm behind the mirror.
Magnification, m=υu=630=15 (i.e. < 1)
The positive value of m shows that image erect and its value, which is less than 1, shows that image is smaller than the object. Thus, image is virtual, erect and diminished.
