Passage based question Q1 The President also has veto power by which he can withhold or refuse to give assent to Bills (other than Money Bill) passed by the Parliament. Every bill passed by the Parliament goes to the President for his assent before it becomes a law The President can send the bill back to the Parliament asking it to reconsider the bill This veto' power is limited because, if the Parliament passes the same bill again and sends it back to the President, then, the President has to give assent to that bill. However, there is no mention in the Constitution about the time limit within which the President must send the bill back for reconsideration.This means that the President can just keep the bill pending with him without any time limit. This gives the President an informal power to use the veto in a very effective manner. 1. What is the Veto' power of the President? 2. How a bill can be passed in Parliament and become a law? 3.

Assignment II (July: Week-2) Lesson – Discovering Tut: the Saga Continues Reading comprehension :

Q Read the following passages carefully and answer the question by choosing the appropriate option: He was just a teenager when he died. The last heir of a powerful family that had ruled Egypt and its empire for centuries, he was laid to rest laden with gold and eventually forgotten. Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922, the modern world has speculated about what happened to him, with murder being the most extreme possibility. Now, leaving his tomb for the first time in almost 80 years, Tut has undergone a CT scan that offers new clues about his life and death — and provides precise data for an accurate forensic reconstruction of the boyish pharaoh. Q1Who is ‘he’ in the first line?

a) Zahi Hawass b)Howard Carter c)King Tut d) A. R Williams Q2. Who was eventually forgotten ? a)Egypt b) Pyramids c)boyish pharaoh d) 1922 Q3 Which word in the passage means ‘wonder’? a)eventually b) speculated c) pharaoh d) reconstruction Q4 Why was Tut’s mummy taken out of his tomb?

a) for x-ray b) for CT scan c) for public demonstration d) for a change Q2. “The mummy is in very bad condition because of what Carter did in the 1920s,” said Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, as he leaned over the body for a long first look. Carter—Howard Carter, that is — was the British archaeologist who in 1922 discovered Tut’s tomb after years of futile searching. Its contents, though hastily ransacked in antiquity, were surprisingly complete. They remain the richest royal collection ever found and have become part of the pharaoh’s legend. Stunning artifacts in gold, their eternal brilliance meant to guarantee resurrection, caused a sensation at the time of the discovery — and still get the most attention. But Tut was also buried with everyday things he’d want in the afterlife: board games, a bronze razor, linen undergarments, cases of food and wine. Q1 Who was Howard Carter? a)historian b) Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities c) British archaeologist d) King of Egypt Q2.Which word in the passage means ‘ swiftly’? a)hastily b) artifacts c) futile d) antiquity Q3 .Who was Zahi Hawass?

a) Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities b) Photographer c) Tourist d) Historian

Q4.Why did Tut’s grave still get the maximum attention? a) Because of size b) Because of stunning artefacts in gold c) Because of its deplorable condition d) Because it was the grave of a king
