3. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
(Lesson 11, A Shipwrecked Sailor -Daniel Defoe, Page No. 83)
After I had been on the island for ten or twelve days, it occurred to me that I would lose the mea sure of time. This was because I had neither watch nor calendar. To prevent this, I cut with my knife upon a large post the date of my landing; I put a notch with my knife for every day. After a long spell of rainl saw some fair weather around 7th November. I spent the next couple of days making small wood boxes to keep my provisions dry from the rain.
Among the things I rescued from the ship there was a small bag of corns meant for poultry feed. Most of it had been devoured by rats. I saw nothing but husks and dusts in the bag. I emptied the contents outside my wall. This was a little time before the great rains. A month later I discovered green stalks shooting out of the ground. I was astonished to discover it was perfect green barley. By the June of 1660, I had gained security of food and shelter.
In this same month I developed a high fever and lay weak and thirsty. I recovered around 30th and gradually felt stronger than the day before.
On 15th of July I took a more particular survey of the island. Around two miles up, I found a brook with pleasant meadows by its bank, plain, smooth and covered by grass. In a woody part I found melons in great abundance, and trees. The grapes were ripe and rich. Further into the land I found a great number of cocoa, orange and lemon trees. I carried great parcels of fruit homeward and the journey took me three days.

3. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below :
To protest against the Rowlatt Act, Gandhi gave a call to observe complete hartal on April 6, 1919. People responded with enthusiasm and all business throughout the country came to a standstill. The response was more pronounced in Amritsar and Lahore. Gandhi wanted to go to Punjab to pacify the people but he was arrested and sent to Bombay. With the situation getting out of hand the British, arrested twolocal leaders of Punjab on April 10, 1919. They were Dr. Kitchlew and Satyapal.
The law and order situation was handed over to General Dyer, who issued an order prohibiting public meetings and assemblies. A public meeting was held on April 13, 1919 on Baisakhi day at Jallianwala Bagh to protest against the Rowlatt Act or the Black Bill and the arrest of the leaders. The people were unarmed and peaceful. General Dyer, incensed that his orders were being disobeyed, ordered his troops to open fire upon the unarmed crowd. The shooting went on for ten minutes. He did not think it necessary to issue any warning to the assembled people nor was he deterred by the fact that the ground was covered by high walls on all sides with only one entrance. Thousands were killed, and many jumped into a well in the park and died and many others were wounded and left unattended. Later processions of mourners followed carts piled with corpses.
