Read the following passage and answer the questions A and B :We spend money for different reasons. We buy foods, clothes or everyday essentials, pay for different services, entertain people, travel $\to$ places, help others in need or invest in business and thus spend money everyday. In fact spending is a part of our life.)Spending may make us happy or unhappy depending on how and why we spend. When we spend money on things that we need and within our limit it is good. When it becomes a compulsive behaviour, it makes life stressful. Unnecessary spending or spending beyond one's means has some bad effects. For one thing, it may lead $\to financial ruin or$ debt, and for another it may create, unhappiness within families. People who overspend are never satisfied with what they have. They always rush for brands, fashion items, designer clothes etc. Over a period of time it becomes an addiction which may eventually create psychological problems.Now a days consumer items are displayed in stores or in advertisements in ways that they create a feeling of immediate need for them. We are constantly tempted $\to$ buy, use or consume things even when we do no have a genuine need. We all need $\to be careful$ here. Salespersons often encourage customers $\to buy things by flattering$ them. This is a perfect match for you", they would say, or 'You look so stunning in that dress." Never forget, they say the same thing $\to most of their$ customers. It is better not $\to be persuaded by such$ words. They use these words $\to please the customers as the more a customer$ buys, the higher the profit is Overspending is not only related $\to$ shopping, it applies $\to other activities as well such as eating$ out. Many people buy too many items $\to eat in a$ restaurant. They can eat only some of them and the rest are wasted. It's nom a responsible attitude. We cannot simply waste food because we have money $\to buy$ it. Young people in a shopping mall often look at an item on display and think 'Oh I must buy this. I really need this. They may nom have the money needed in their wallet. So they use credit cards but using them is like taking a loan. If they are not careful, the loans increase which might lead them $\to a$ debt-trap.A. Choose the correct answer from the alternatives :(a) Spending money is deeply integrated with___

4.Write down the theme of the following poem within 50 words. Because I have seen Bengal's face, I will seek no more, The world has not anything more beautiful to show me. Waking up in darkness, gazing at the fig-tree, I behold Dawn's swallows roosting under huge umbrella-like leaves. I look around me and discover a leafy dome, Jaam, Kanthal, Bat, Hijol and Aswatha trees all in a hush, Shadowing clumps of cactus and zedoary bushes. When long, long ago, Chand came in his honeycombed boat To a blue Hijal, Bat, Tamal shade near the Champa, he too sighted Bengal's incomparable beauty. One day, alas, in the Ganguri, On a raft, as the waning moon sank on the river's sandbanks, Behula too saw countless aswaths bats besides golden ricefields And heard the thrush's soft song, One day, arriving, in Amara, Where gods held court, when she danced like a desolate wagtail, Bengal's rivers, fields, flowers, wailed like strings of bells on her feet.

(Not more than 50 words) [Unit-8; Lesson-2 (B)] Those Winter Sundays by- Robert Hayden Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueback cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?
