PREFACE
The Chapterwise Solved Papers series by Sahithya Bhawan for class 10 has been designed as
per the new curriculum released by the CBSE. This book for English Language and Literature, one
from the series, aims at making students 'exam-ready'.
Over the years, there has been changes in the pattern and marks distribution in the Board
papers. This book therefore includes all questions that appeared in the past ten years' CBSE Board
papers. All efforts have been made to include the different patterns that have been adopted by the
Board in different sections of paper in the past ten years.
The key features of this book are :
● Different sets of question papers for each year are included
● ‘Reading and Writing’ sections to give students an in-depth idea of passages and grammar
patterns
● Solutions to ‘Reading and Writing’ sections questions, to help students practice in the same
formats
● Tips for students about 'Reading and Writing' sections, to enable them prepare for these
sections
● Chapterwise inclusion of board questions (along with solutions)for both 'Main Course' as well
as the 'Supplementary Reader' books
● A short summary for each chapter
● Questions in the same order as in the Board papers
● Answers according to the CBSE marking scheme
● Fully solved paper of 2020 CBSE Board Examination
Sure, this book will ideally be the best guide for students while preparing for their exams.
We thank Sahitya Bhawan's entire editorial team headed by Mr. Rahul Bansal, for giving us the
opportunity to write this book. Their sincere and painstaking efforts in bringing out this excellent
book in its present form are absolutely laudable. Also, thanks to our family members, without
whose unstinted support and encouragement, it would not have been possible for us to write this
book.
In spite of our best efforts to make this book error free, some minor printing errors might have
crept in. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We welcome suggestions for further im-
provement of the book and the same will be incorporated in our further editions.

Section A : Reading (20 Marks)
1. Read the following passage carefully : 8
(1) Caged behind thick glass, the most famous dancer in
the world can easily be missed in the National Museum,
Delhi. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-Daro is that rare
artefact that even school children are familiar with. Our
school textbooks also communicate the wealth of our
5000 year heritage of art. You have to be alert to her
existence there, amid terracotta animals to rediscover
this bronze image.
(2) Most of us have seen her only in photographs or
sketches therefore the impact of actually holding her is
magnified a million times over. One discovers that the
dancing girl has no feet. She is small, a little over 10 cm
tall—the length of a human palm—but she surprises us
with the power of great art—the ability to communicate
across centuries.
(3) A series of bangles—of shell or ivory or thin metal—
clothe her left upper arm all the way down to her fingers.
A necklace with three pendants bunched together and a
few bangles above the elbow and wrist on the right hand
display an almost modern art.
(4) She speaks of the undaunted ever hopeful human
spirit. She reminds us that it is important to visit
museums in our country to experience the impact that a
work of art leaves on our senses, to find among all the
riches one particular vision of beauty that speaks to us
alone.
1.1. On the basis of your reading of the above passage
answer the following questions : 1 × 8 = 8
(a) The dancing girl belongs to :
(i) Mohenjo-Daro
(ii) Greek culture
(iii) Homosapiens
(iv) Tibet
(b) In the museum she's kept among :
(i) dancing figures
(ii) bronze statues
(iii) terracotta animals
(iv) books
(c) Which information is not given in the passage ?
(i) The girl is caged behind glass.
(ii) She is a rare artefact.
(iii) School books communicate the wealth of our
heritage.
(iv) She cannot be rediscovered as she's
bronze.
2 Sahitya Bhawan CBSE Chapterwise Solved Papers English Language & Literature Class X
(d) ‘Great Art’ has power because :
(i) it appeals to us despite a passage of time.
(ii) it is small and can be understood.
(iii) it's seen in pictures and sketches.
(iv) it's magnified a million times.
(e) The jewellery she wears :
(i) consists of bangles of shell, ivory or thin
metal.
(ii) is a necklace with two pendants.
(iii) both (i) and (ii) are correct.
(iv) neither (i) nor (ii) is correct.
(f) She reminds us :
(i) of the never say-die attitude of humans.
(ii) why museums in our country are exciting.
(iii) why she will make us come into money.
(iv) of dancing figures.
(g) The synonym of the word ‘among’ in para 1
is .......... .
(h) The size of the dancing girl is equal to the length
of human palm. (True/False)
2. Read the following passage carefully : 12
(1) As the family finally sets off from home after many
arguments there is a moment of lull as the car takes off.
‘‘Alright, so where are we going for dinner now?’’ asks
the one at the driving wheel. What follows is a chaos as
multiple voices make as many suggestions.
(2) By the time order is restored and a decision is arrived
at, tempers have risen, feelings injured and there is at
least one person grumbling.
(3) Twenty years ago, you would step out of home,
decision of meal and venue already made with no
arguments or opposition and everybody looked forward
to the meal with equal enthusiasm. The decision was
made by the head of the family and the others fell in
line. Today every member of the family has a say in every
decision which also promotes a sense of togetherness
and bonding.
(4) We empower our kids to take their own decisions
from a very early age. We ask them the cuisine they
prefer, the movie they want to see, the holiday they
wish to go on and the subjects they wish to study.
(5) It's a closely connected world out there where
children consult and guide each other. A parent's well
meaning advice can sound like nothing more than
unnecessary preaching. How then do we reach our
children through all the conflicting views and make the
voice of reason be heard ? Children today question
choices and prefer to go with the flow.
(6) What then is the best path to take ? I would say the
most important thing one can do is to listen. Listen to
your children and their silences. Ensure that you keep
some time aside for them, insist that they share their
stories with you. Step into their world. It is not as
complicated as it sounds; just a daily half an hour of the
quality time would do the trick.
2.1 On the basis of your reading of the above passage,
answer the following questions in 30-40 words
each : 2 × 4 = 8
(a) Write one advantage and one disadvantage of
allowing every family member to be part of the
decision making process.
(b) In today's world, what are parents asking their
kids ?
(c) Which two pieces of advice does the writer give
to the parents?
(d) The passage supports the parents. How far do you
agree with the author's views ? Support your view
with a reason.
2.2 On the basis of your reading of the above passage,
answer the following : 1 × 4 = 4
(a) The synonym of ‘hurt’ as given in paragraph 2 is
............... .
(b) The word which means the same as ‘a style or
method of cooking’ in paragraph 4 is :
(i) Cuisine
(ii) Gourmet
(iii) Gastric
(iv) Science
(c) The antonym of ‘agreeable’ as given in paragraph
5 is ................ .
(d) The antonym of ‘simple’ as given in paragraph 6
is :
(a) difficult
(b) complicated
(c) easy
(d) tricky
