Churchill Chapter-2

Study Questions.
Question 1 Answer: Sir winston Churchill was hardly twelve years of age when he
entered “the inhospitable regions of examinations”.
Question 2 Answer: History, poetry and essay-writing were dearest to Churchill. on the
other hand, Latin and Mathematics were fancied by the examiners.
Question 3 Answer: Churchill found himself unable to answer even a single question in
the Latin paper. He had written “question” within brackets on the answer sheet. He was
playing with pen and inkpot absent mindedly. As a result answer sheet was spoiled. Mr.
Welldon thought it was incidently spoiled and awarded him pass marks.
Question 4 Answer: Since the names were printed in the school list in alphabetical
order, his correct name being Spencer Churchill, appeared third from the bottom.
Question 5 Answer: Mr Somerwell had his own system of teaching English. He took a
fairly long sentence and broke it up into its components by means of different colors each
component will have its own color. It was a kind of drill which they did almost daily and
also Mr Somerwell the best teacher gives a lot of homework for practise.
Question 6 Answer: I agree with Churchill. Here I describe my own experience with
examiners and examination. When I was an S.S.C student, I had learnt all the questions
given at the end of each lesson. the examiner did not set paper from those question, he
framed new questions. Like most of the students I was also confused. Nearly on hour was
wasted in thinking. As a result I could not solve the full paper and failed to get high
marks.
Question 7 Answer: I agree with author because if the examiner asks the questions
which every candidate knows there is no point in examining them. All the examiners will
get nearly equal marks. Question of merit will not arise. that is why the examiner asks
such questions that he thinks will acquire some intelligence and study. The hard-working
and the lazy can only be differentiated in this way.
Question 8 Answer: Churchill ironically passes this judgement about Mr. Welldon’s
decision. He wants to say that teachers do not evaluate the answer-sheets carefully and
correctly. Their standard of marking is not good. Sometimes intelligent and brilliant
students get low marks while duffers are awarded high marks. But their marking cannot
be challenged in any court of law.
Question 9 Answer: The author considered his situation at Horrow as upretentious
because he was placed at the bottom of the list. He was considered to be a poor student
because he was not good at Mathematics and he did not like Latin. He liked English,
history, poetry and essay-writing, While the teachers and the principals were in favour of
Latin. because of this reason his mental calibre was considered to be at the lowest.
Question 10 Answer: They were not allowed to learn Latin and Greek because the
teachers thought them not capable of learning these languages. They were considered
dullards and only very brilliant students could learn them because they were difficult to
learn. While English was quite easy to learn because it was their mother tongue. there is
no doubt about it that mother tongue is easy to learn.

Study Questions (Our Environment)

Questions 1 Answer: Man started corrupting the environment because resources seemed
unlimited, the air was fresh and clean, and rivers and oceans were seen as elements to be
harnessed for power and used to dispose of waste.
Questions 2 Answer: The author says environment is now a social problem because of
recent huge increase in air, water and land pollution. The world we live in faces problems
of health and welfare for a large portion of the population of the world. A dirty lake or
river not only affects those who live near it, but it also affects the entire ecosphere.
Questions 3 Answer: An ecosystem is a system involving the interaction between a
community and its environment. It has been shown that each living thngs plasy a part in
this echossytem. There is a food chain, in which organisms that produce their own food
by using energy from the sun (green plants) are eaten by small animals, which in turn
eaten by large animals. The food Technology is enclosed by bacteria and fungi, which
decompose the wastes and eventually the dead bodies of all living things, returning useful
nutrient for the use of orignal producers or plants. Thus nature keeps the ecosystem
balanced.
Questions 4 Answer: An alteration in one part of the ecosystem impacts other parts of
the echosystem because it can bring harm to humun and animal life.
Questions 5 Answer: The question before the society, based on our new and growing
perception of the effects of humun pollution of the environment, is both elementary and
monumental. Will we pay for the clean-up of rivers, occeans, the landscape and the air?
How will we pay? Can we simply pay cash, or must we give up some of our taken for
granted machines and luxuries?.
