| Of all the trees of southern Asia, the banyan is unique, not only for the manner of its growth, but for the area of shade it provides from the burning sun. Its close relationship with man has evolved over the years to make the banyan a popular meeting place, a focal point of worship and a source of practical materials for commerce. --- Content provided by FirstRanker.com --- Known as the ‘strangler fig’ because of its unusual manner of growth, the banyan is an epiphyte or air plant, that has its birth in the branches of a host tree and lives on airborne moisture and nutrients. Banyan seeds are deposited by birds, bats or monkeys in the rich soil collected in the crevices of host-tree branches.As the banyan grows, it sends aerial roots down the trunk of the supporting tree. In time, the roots that reach the ground choke the host tree by preventing its trunk from enlarging. The two best known species of banyans are: The Indian (Ficus benghalensis), one of the world’s largest tropical trees; and the Chinese (Ficus retusa), a smaller species with fewer aerial roots. Questions: 1. What are the two ways in which the banyan tree is unique? 2. Why is it called the ‘strangler fig’? --- Content provided by FirstRanker.com --- 3. Find the antonym of the word ‘terrestrial’. | |

| Q.5 (a) Make a précis in about 1/3 of the following passage. | 03 |
| Discipline is of the utmost importance in student life. If the young students do not obey their superiors and go without discipline, they will be deprived of much of the training they should have at this period and in the future, they will never be able to extract obedience from others in society. Society will never accept them as persons fit for commanding and taking up any responsible positions in life. So all the students must observe discipline in the preparatory stage of their life. A college without discipline can never impart suitable education to students. The rule of discipline in the playground and the battlefield as well plays a very important role. A team without discipline may not fare well despite good players for want of mutual understanding and cooperation. In any army, everyone from the rank of the general down to the ranks of an ordinary soldier must observe discipline. In case a soldier does not obey his immediate superior, the army becomes a rabble - quite unfit for the achievement of the common ends of war. At first sight, it may appear to us that discipline takes away individual liberty. But on analysis, it is found that it does not do so, for liberty is not license. We find disciplined liberty at the root of all kinds of human happiness. | |
| (b) As a Store Officer, Tapti College, Surat, place an order for (at least 4 items) college furniture. Write a letter to Lloyd & Co., Furniture Manufacturers, Surat. | 04 |
| (c) Illustrate the importance of Email etiquette. | 07 |
