The small research study asks you to assess the types of resources in your region. What type of resources are to be assessed?
  • Renewable resources
  • Non‑renewable resources
  • Man‑made resources
  • Cultural resources
Select any two natural resources. Gather information about their availability across different parts of India and mark them on a map. What are you being asked to gather information about?
  • Availability of the chosen natural resources in different parts of India
  • The historical uses of the resources worldwide
  • Prices of the resources in international markets
  • Political boundaries of Indian states
Find out about such a conflict in the international context. Which of the following is an example of an international conflict over sharing natural resources?
  • Competition among Nile Basin countries over Nile River water
  • State‑level sharing of Kaveri River water within India
  • Local dispute over village forest access
  • Argument about school garden maintenance
Which action best prevents a renewable resource from becoming non-renewable over time?
  • Increase extraction rates to meet immediate demand
  • Ignore natural regeneration and rely on imports
  • Apply sustainable harvesting limits, conserve habitats, and reduce pollution
  • Replace natural resources entirely with synthetic substitutes
Which statement correctly describes renewable resources, distinguishes them from non‑renewables, and identifies ways to keep them available, with examples?
  • Renewable resources are materials that exist in unlimited amounts; non‑renewables are scarce, so we should use more coal and oil and less solar and wind.
  • Renewable resources can naturally replenish if managed well; non‑renewables form slowly and can be exhausted. People can conserve, harvest sustainably, and reduce pollution; examples include solar energy and wind.
  • Renewable resources are man‑made; non‑renewables occur in nature. People should replace forests with factories; examples include plastics and cement.
  • Renewable resources are cheaper; non‑renewables are expensive. People should buy only imported goods; examples include gasoline and diesel.
According to the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods, why should darker periods be studied with detachment and sensitivity?
  • To understand what made such developments possible and help avoid their recurrence
  • To assign blame to people living today for past atrocities
  • To glorify warfare and violent rulers
  • To forget unpleasant events by mentioning them only in passing
In the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods, which approach to darker chapters of history does the author endorse?
  • Omit them entirely
  • Mention them briefly with most atrocious details left out
  • Face them and analyse them to understand causes and avoid recurrence
  • Focus only on peaceful eras and benevolent rulers
In the example of World War II in the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods, why is it clearly unacceptable to blame today’s Germans for what happened over eight decades ago?
  • Because the focus should be on understanding how the Nazi ideology became possible, not on blaming people living today
  • Because Germany no longer exists as a nation
  • Because World War II was not severe enough to warrant responsibility
  • Because the Nazis were from a different country than Germany
According to the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods, what belief was central to the Nazi ideology mentioned?
  • Extermination of so-called ‘inferior races’
  • Equality of all ethnic groups
  • Isolation from world affairs
  • Commitment to pacifism and non-violence
What broader principle does the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods apply to the Tapestry of the Past chapters that include warfare and cruelty?
  • Understanding the historical origin of cruel violence, abusive misrule, or misplaced ambitions of power helps heal the past and build a future
  • Holding people today responsible for past cruelty is necessary for justice
  • Erasing passages on brutality is the best way to move on
  • Celebrating violent rulers prevents future conflicts
What outcome of World War II (1939–1945) is stated in the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods?
  • Millions of deaths worldwide
  • A brief local conflict with few casualties
  • Peace across Europe without violence
  • An economic boom without loss of life
Why does history sometimes seem to be full of wars and destruction, according to the passage A Note on History’s Darker Periods?
  • It rarely focuses on periods when society is harmonious and peaceful
  • Historians generally exaggerate events for dramatic effect
  • Wars last much longer than peaceful times in every country
  • Peaceful records were mostly lost over time
People try to conserve some resources, like fossil fuels, because they are not replaceable. Why can't these resources be replaced?
  • They must be transported long distances.
  • Processes that make them take a long time.
  • No one can afford to buy more of them.
  • It is impossible to extract more from the earth.
People move into and begin living in an area that previously had no human activity. What will most likely be the effect on the amount of water.
  • Water will be more evenly distributed in the area.
  • Most of the fresh water in the area will be converted to salt water.
  • The amount of fresh water suitable for drinking will increase.
  • There will be less water available for other living things.
The table provided shows areas where sedimentary rock layers are exposed, as well as the environmental factors that produced the rock layers. Coal forms in locations where vegetation gets buried quickly and then altered by heat and pressure over millions of years. Which location is most likely to have coal?
  • Area A
  • Area B
  • Area C
  • Area D
In all of the following examples, the quantity of the resource being used by humans is affected EXCEPT –
  • petroleum taken from the ground and burned for fuel.
  • fresh water used for agriculture, recreation, and tourism.
  • wind power used to provide energy for homes and businesses.
  • metal ores mined and used to created building materials.
Metal ores are often formed in locations that had volcanic activity in the past. What information about an area would provide the best evidence that metal ores could be found there in the present?
  • Evidence that volcanoes in the area are currently active.
  • Evidence that humans in the area use lots of metal ores.
  • Evidence that metal ores had been brought to the area by ancient humans.
  • Evidence that the area had active volcanoes long ago.
