Once there was heavy downpour for about 3 hours in the early morning. Irfan and his family were finding it difficulat to carry out their daily morning chores as the sewer water was flowing back into the toilits, th road in front of their house was flooded with water and they could not move out. On this very serious problem Irfan called a meeting of all the residents. In the meeting Irfan discussed th problem and said that we as using too much polythene bags and other plastic items which we throw here and other plastic items which we throw here and there. All these move into the drains and sewer lines which get choked and do not allow flow of water. As these are non-biodegradable, they remain as such for a long time. So to overcome this problem, we should use bags made up of cloth or jute which are biodegradable. (i) Answer the following questions : (i) Name a polymer which is biodegradable. Write the sturctures of monomers and the repeating unit. (ii) Write two uses of this polymer. (iii) Write any two values shown by Irfan.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these. Renewable Energy (RE) is the future. With that said, one can argue that the future has arrived, in parts at least. Worldwide acceptance towards green energy is giving the sustainable energy sector more market share every year. The growth is consistent, with each year out-performing the previous, leading renewable energy to account for 1/3rd of global energy capacity. It’s fair to state that the growth trajectory is incredible, and considering that it took only a little more than a just decade to reach this position, we could call it _____________. However, the most important question is, is this satisfactory? The goal of green energy transition is to solve growing energy scarcity and reduce dependency on fossil fuels in order to move towards a fully sustainable energy landscape. Therefore, to identify success, we need to compare renewable energy growth with the current scenario. According to WHO’s estimates, currently, more than 7 million people die every year from pollution, up from 4.2 million in 2016. Fossil fuel consumption has increased globally from 94,462/twh in 2000 to 1,33,853/twh now. The rise in population (currently 7.7 billion) indicates a steady growth in energy demand worldwide. In comparison, the fact that renewable energy took a decade to become 1/3 of energy capacity is not the ideal pace, considering we might not have two more decades to wait for RE to catch up. Which of the following statement (s) if true, will support the author’s claim that the rate of growth in Renewable Energy is not satisfactory? I. The use of fossil fuels to satisfy energy needs continues to be a popular choice. II. The issue of energy scarcity is being addressed by the use of RE in a more appropriate manner. III. Government and private organisations are working together to develop technology which operates on RE.
