KRISHNA PUBLIC SCHOOL PRE – MID TERM EXAM 2021 - 22 SUBJECT – SOCIAL SCIENCE Time: – 1 Hr. CLASS - X Date:- 09.08.2021 M.M- 30 Case study-I After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society – like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies, property and the family –should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the society of pre- revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make state power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe. In 1815, representatives of the European powers who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke Metternich. The delegates drew up the Treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that had come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon. A series of states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French expansion in future 1. Identify the purpose to convene the Vienna of Congress in 1815 from the following options? (Choose the correct option) a) To declare competition of German unification b) To restore conservative regime in Europe c) To declare war against France d) To start the process of Italian Unification 2. D__u_k_e__M_e_t_t_e_rn_i_c_k_ remarked t h a t “When France Sneezes, the rest ofEurope catches cold” (Fill up the blank with correct answer) 3. Which country became full-fledged territorial state inEurope in the year 1789? France 4. Which of the following statements correctly describes about European conservative ideology? (Choose the correct option) a) Preservation of believes introduced by Napoleon b) Preservation of two sects of Christianity c) Preservation of socialist ideology in economic sphere 1|Page

d) Preservation of traditionalist beliefs in state and society Case Study-II In 1848, Frédéric Sorrieu, a French artist, prepared a series of four prints visualising his dream of a world made up of ‘democratic and social Republics’, as he called them. The first print (Fig. 1) of the series, shows the peoples of Europe and America – men and women of all ages and social classes – marching in a long train, and offering homage to the statue of Liberty as they pass by it. As you would recall, artists of the time of the French Revolution personified Liberty as a female figure – here you can recognise the torch of Enlightenment she bears in one hand and the Charter of the Rights of Man in the other. On the earth in the foreground of the image lie the shattered remains of the symbols of absolutist institutions. In Sorrieu’s utopian vision, the peoples of the world are grouped as distinct nations, identified through their flags and national costume. Leading the procession, way past the statue of Liberty, are the United States and Switzerland, which by this time were already nation-states. France, identifiable by the revolutionary tricolour, has just reached the statue. She is followed by the peoples of Germany, bearing the black, red and gold flag. Interestingly, at the time when Sorrieu created this image, the German peoples did not yet exist as a united nation – the flag they carry is an expression of liberal hopes in 1848 to unify the numerous German-speaking principalities into a nation-state under a democratic constitution. Following the German peoples are the peoples of Austria, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Lombardy, Poland, England, Ireland, Hungary and Russia. From the heavens above, Christ, saints and angels gaze upon the scene. They have been used by the artist to symbolise fraternity among the nations of the world. 5. At the time when Frederic Sorrieu made painting there were ____ (Choose the correct option) a) Established democratic & social republic in Europe b) Monarchy in Europe c) Nation states in Europe d) People rule in Europe 6. The statue shown in Sorrieu print is an Allegory of liberty. (State True or False) 7. A government or system of rule that has no restraints on the power exercised is known as _A__b_s_o_lu__ti_s.t (Fill up the blank with correct answer) 8. Whom did the artist used to symbolise fraternity among the nations of the world? Christ, saints and angels Case Study-III The aim of the Zollverein is to bind the Germans economically into a nation. It will strengthen the nation materially as much by protecting its interests externally as by stimulating its internal productivity. It ought to awaken and raise 2|Page

national sentiment through a fusion of individual and provincial interests. The German people have realised that a free economic system is the only means to engender national feeling. 9.

(i) Abolishing tariff barriers (ii) Reducing number of currencies (Choose the correct option) (a) Only (i) (b) Only (ii) (c) Both (i) and (ii) (d) None of these Case Study-IV Many thought that given the disadvantages and rising resistance against the multipurpose projects, water harvesting system was a viable alternative, both socio-economically and environmentally. In ancient India, along with the sophisticated hydraulic structures, there existed an extraordinary tradition of water-harvesting system. People had in-depth knowledge of rainfall regimes and soil types and developed wide ranging techniques to harvest rainwater, groundwater, river water and flood water in keeping with the local ecological conditions and their water needs. In hill and mountainous regions people built diversion channels like the guls or kuls of the Western Himalayas for agriculture. Rooftop rainwater harvesting was commonly practised to store drinking water, particularly in Rajasthan. In the flood plains of Bengal, people developed inundation channels to irrigate their fields. In arid and semi-arid regions, agricultural fields were converted into rainfed storage structures that allowed the water to stand and moisten the soil like the “khadins” in Jaisalmer and “Johads” in other parts of Rajasthan. 12. What were ‘guls’ or ‘kuls’? (Choose the correct option) a) They were water diversion channels. b) They were road diversion channels c) They were local people of Rajasthan d) These were the only two wells available in Rajasthan 13. Where is rooftop rainwater harvesting practices commonly? (Choose the correct option) a) It is practiced most commonly in Jaisalmer b) It is practiced most commonly in Bengal. 3|Page

c) It is practiced most commonly in Rajasthan d) It is practiced most commonly in Western Himalayas 14.

Reason (R): Rainwater can be directed to recharge the underground water source. a) Both A and R are true and R isthe correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R isnot the correct explanation of assertion. c) A is true but R is false. d) Both A and R are false. 15. In _R_a_j_a_s_t_h_a_n____, rooftop rain water harvesting was commonly practiced to store drinking water. (Fill up the blank with correct answer) 16. Sophisticated hydraulic structures like dams were not constructed during the ancient times. (State True or False) Case Study-V Multi-purpose projects and large dams have also been the cause of many new social movements like the ‘Narmada Bachao Andolan’ and the ‘Tehri Dam Andolan’ etc. Resistance to these projects has primarily been due to the large-scale displacement of local communities. Local people often had to give up their land, livelihood and their meager access and control over resources for the greater good of the nation. So, if the local people are not benefiting from such projects then who is benefited? Narmada Bachao Andolan or Save Narmada Movement is a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) that mobilised tribal people, farmers, environmentalists and human rights activists against the Sardar Sarovar Dam being built across the Narmada river in Gujarat. It originally focused on the environmental issues related to trees that would be submerged under the dam water. Recently it has re-focused the aim to enable poor citizens, especially the oustees (displaced people) to get full rehabilitation facilities from the government. 17. Which one of the following statements is not an argument in favour of multipurpose river projects? (Choose the correct option) (a) Multipurpose projects bring water to those areas which suffer from water scarcity. (b) Multipurpose projects by regulating water flow help to control floods. (c) Multipurpose projects lead to large scale displacements and loss of livelihood. (d) Multipurpose projects generate electricity for our industries and our homes. 18. Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion : (A) Dams are referred to as multi-purpose projects. Reason : (R) Dams are built for irrigation, electricity generation, water supply for domestic and industrial use, flood control, recreation and fish breeding. 4|Page

a) Both A and R are true and R isthe correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R isnot the correct explanation of assertion. c) A is true but R is false. d) Both A and R are false. 19. Choose the correct pair Oustees - rain water Scrutiny - displaced people Narmada Bachao Andolan - Social movement Palar Pani - to observe carefully 20. The ‘Narmada Bachao Andolan’ is associated with which Dam? Sardar Sarovar Dam 21. Local communities are highly benefited with the large dams. (State True or False) Case Study-VI Over the forty years between 1970-71 and 2010-11, while production in all the three sectors has increased, it has increased the most in the tertiary sector. In the year 2010-11, the tertiary sector has emerged as the largest producing sector in India replacing the primary sector. First, in any country several services such as hospitals, educational institutions, post and telegraph services, police stations, courts, village administrative offices, municipal corporations, defence, transport, banks, insurance companies, etc. are required. These can be considered as basic services. In a developing country the government has to take responsibility for the provision of these services. Second, the development of agriculture and industry leads to the development of services such as transport, trade, storage and the like, as we have already seen. Greater the development of the primary and secondary sectors, more would be the demand for such services. Third, as income levels rise, certain sections of people start demanding many more services like eating out, tourism, shopping, private hospitals, private schools, professional training etc. You can see this change quite sharply in cities, especially in big cities. However, you must remember that not all the service sector is growing equally well. Service sector in India employs many different kinds of people. At one end there are a limited number of services that employ highly skilled and educated workers. At the other end, there are a very large number of workers engaged in services such as small shopkeepers, repair persons, transport persons, etc. These people barely manage to earn a living and yet they perform these services because no alternative opportunities for work are available to them 22. Transport, communication and banking come underte..r..t.i.a..r.ysector. (Fill up the blank with correct answer) 23. Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion (A): In India, over the forty years between 1973-74 and 2013-14, while production in all the three sectors has increased, it has increased the most in the tertiary sector. Reason (R): Tertiary sector is the only organized sector in the economy so the government spends a lot of money for creating jobs in tertiary sector. a) Both A and R are true and R isthe correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R isnot the correct explanation of assertion. 5|Page

c) A is true but R is false. d) Both A and R are false. 24. Assertion (A): The development of agriculture and industry leads to the development of service sector. Reason (R): As the primary and secondary sectors develops, the demand for transport, storage structures, banks, insurance, etc., increases. a) Both A and R are true and R isthe correct explanation of A. b) Both A and R are true but R isnot the correct explanation of assertion. c) A is true but R is false. d) Both A and R are false. 25. Which among the following workers are not very productive in tertiary sector? (Choose the correct option) (a) Educated and trained professionals (b) Repair persons and daily wage earners (c) People in defence services (d) People working in health centres and hospitals 26. Workers in the _te__rt_i_a_ry___ sector do not produce goods. (Fill up the blank with correct answer) 27. Why is the tertiary sector becoming so important in India? Give any one reason. Rise in income, development in agriculture, basic services.....etc. Case Study-VII Kanta works in the organised sector. Organised sector covers those enterprises or places of work where the terms of employment are regular and therefore, people have assured work. They are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and regulations which are given in various laws such as the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Shops and Establishments Act etc. It is called organised because it has some formal processes and procedures. Some of these people may not be employed by anyone but may work on their own but they too have to register themselves with the government and follow the rules and regulations. Workers in the organised sector enjoy security of employment. They are expected to work only a fixed number of hours. In contrast, Kamal works in the unorganised sector. The unorganised sector is characterised by small and scattered units which are largely outside the control of the government. There are rules and regulations but these are not followed. Jobs here are low-paid and often not regular. There is no provision for overtime, paid leave, holidays, leave due to sickness etc. Employment is not secure. People can be asked to leave without any reason. 28. Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion (A): Leela works five days a week, receives her income on the last day of each month and gets medical facilities from her firm. Reason (R): Leela is working in organized sector. a) Both A and R are true and R isthe correct explanation of A. 6|Page
