Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow : Garbage is a great danger to the environment. It comes from various sources : waste paper, tiffin packaging, plastic bags, ice-cream wrappers, bottle caps, fallen leaves from trees and much more. Garbage makes the premises ugly, neglected and generates diseases. A large amount of garbage that is thrown away contains material that can be recycled and reused, such as paper, metal and glass. These can be sent to the nearest recycling centre or disposed of at the junkyard. It also contains organic matter like leaves that can enrich soil fertility. A compost pit can be made in a convenient place where the waste can be laid out with layers of soil and an occasional sprinkling of water. This would help the decomposition to make valuable fertilizer. This would also prevent the pollution that is usually caused by burning such organic waste. Questions : i) What are the various sources of garbage ? ii) What does the garbage do ? iii) How can garbage be made useful ? iv) What is compost pit ? OR Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India. When India was ruled by the British, its name was the United Provinces. Some of the major cities in the state of Uttar Pradesh are Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Agra, Azamgarh, Muzaffarnagar, Ayodhya, etc. Apart from these Ganga, Yamuna, Chambal and Gomati are the famous rivers of this state. Uttar Pradesh is located in the north of India. It touches the border with Nepal, so Nepalese also live here. It is famous because Mathura and Ayodhya are believed to be the birth places of Lord Shri Krishna and Rama respectively. Its history is about 4,000 years old. A few decades ago, this state was ruled by the Moghuls. Questions : i) What was the name of Uttar Pradesh during British rule ? ii) What are the major cities of Uttar Pradesh ? iii) What is Uttar Pradesh famous for ? iv) Which country touches the border of Uttar Pradesh ?
