ENGLISH(TGT) : SUBJECT CODE : T11
FOR QUESTIONS 1 TO 10 READ THE PASSAGE AND
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW:
Eleanor Roosevelt was world-renowned, respected, and admired,
and she made numerous meaningful and lasting contributions
to human welfare. She earned the affection of millions through-
out the world because of her humanitarian efforts on behalf of
children, the oppressed, and the poor. As President Truman
described her, she was the "First Lady of the World."
Although faced by serious setbacks, she dedicated her entire life
to others. When her husband Franklin Roosevelts political
career appeared doomed by the debilitating effects of polio, she
provided him with the encouragement that made him persevere
until he eventually won the presidency of the United States.
Mrs. Roosevelt showed an abiding concern for others both in her
private and public life. At a time when it was still unpopular to
take such advocacies, she taught at a school she had established
for poor children, managed a factory for the jobless, and
ardently campaigned for equal rights.
When she became First Lady, Mrs. Roosevelt represented with
great energy and outspokenness the needs of people suffering
from the Great Depression. Indeed, a good number of her ideas
were incorporated into her husbands New Deal social welfare
program.
With the outbreak of World War II, she spread out her
engagements to the world stage, joining the United Nations
to help establish UNICEF and come up with the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. She was later appointed
chairperson of the Human Rights Commission and, at the age 61,
was named a delegate to the first meeting of the General
Assembly of the United Nations.
Truly a paragon of greatness, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "You
get more joy out of giving to others, and should put a good deal of
thought into the happiness you are able to give."

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW:
I DREAD THAT FIRST ROBIN
by Emily Dickinson
I dreaded that first Robin, so,
But He is mastered, now,
I'm accustomed to Him grown,
He hurts a little, though -- 4
I thought If I could only live
Till that first Shout got by --
Not all Pianos in the Woods
Had power to mangle me -- 8
I dared not meet the Daffodils --
For fear their Yellow Gown
Would pierce me with a fashion
So foreign to my own -- 12
I wished the Grass would hurry --
So -- when 'twas time to see --
He'd be too tall, the tallest one
Could stretch -- to look at me -- 16
I could not bear the Bees should come,
I wished they'd stay away
In those dim countries where they go,
What word had they, for me? 20
They're here, though; not a creature failed --
No Blossom stayed away
In gentle deference to me --
The Queen of Cavalry -- 24
Each one salutes me, as he goes,
And I, my childish Plumes,
Lift, in bereaved acknowledgment
Of their unthinking Drums -- 28
