teacher's daughter, and her mother made in
visit him. The other two, Rahul and Syed
weren't really his friends, although they often
ganged up with him against river kids to take
away their lunch pocket money. Partha knew
he wouldn't have long in live. He could feel it,
deep inside. Seeing his aunty crying after
talking with the teacher confirmed it. His
time had come. He didn't tell his visitors,
though. They would either pity him, or be

Hence Shanta left, he ripped a page off

Dear God, I know I messed up and
nobody kiss me. Please give me a second
chance. I can show you what a good friend I
can be.”
He drew a map showing the way from the
school to the hospital, walked shakily to the
window, and let the balloon fly away,
carrying his message towards God.
The balloon was heading straight to a
telephone pole, but a gentle breeze blew it
away just in time. It crossed the park and
disappeared out of view.
The next day, a boy he had never met
before came to visit him. “I find balloon,” he
said. “You are lonely?”
He just nodded, too startled to talk.
“I lonely too. My family come from
Afghanistan and I no speak English good.”
He smiled. “I bring gift to you.” He handed

him a small bag of fruits. “I pray for friend,
and God give me friend.”
Normally, he would have made fun of his
broken Enlgish and his long, baggy brown
kurta, but he knew better. He smiled and
offered him the first orange.

that follow by selecting the most appropriate
option.
Our consumption of palm oil is
rocketing : Commitments from various
governments to increase the amount of
biofuels being sold are pushing this rise in
demand, because they're seen as an attractive
quick fix to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
India wanted 20 percent of its diesel to be
biodiesel by 2012. The irony is that these
attempts to reduce the impact of climate
change could actually make things worse—
clearning forests and draining and burning
‘peatlands’ to grow palm oil which releases
more carbon emissions than burning fossil
fuels. But this phenomenal growth of the
palm oil industry spells disaster for local
communities, biodiversity, and climate
change as palm plantations encroach further
and further into forested areas where the
emission of greenbouse gases is largely due
to deforestation. For example, most of the

current and predicted oil palm expansion is
taking place on forested mainlands. Peat
locks up huge amounts of fire so clearing
‘peatlands’ by draining and burning releases
huge greenhouse gases. The Roundtable on
Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) had established
clear land and ecological standards for
preparing palm oil.
Since then, forest destruction has
continued unabated.
145. The passage is about the impact of
...................... on the environment.
(A) drilling for diesel fuel
(B) loss of communities
(C) destruction of peatlands
(D) palm oil industries
146. Peatlands are natural
(A) sources of biofuels when burnt
(B) sources of diesel
(C) means to suppress carbon
emissions
(D) causes of environmental
destruction
147. The phrase in the passage which means
‘speedy remedy’ is
(A) current and predicted
(B) draining and burning
(C) phenomenal growth
(D) quick fix
148. The synonym of the word ‘irony’ is
(A) praise (B) paradox
(C) respect (D) reality
149. The RSPO was convened to
(A) rehabilitate local communities
(B) force the closure of palm oil
industries
(C) control destructive practices in
palm oil production
