MODEL PAPER 2025 - Bihar Board (BSEB) कक्षा 10 English Questions

The monsoon is essentially the seasonal reversal in wind direction. It causes most of the rainfall received in India and some other parts of the world. The primary cause of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea. The apparent position of the Sun with reference to the Earth oscillates from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus the low-pressure region created by solar heating also changes latitudes. The northeast and southeast trade winds converge in this low-pressure zone, which is also known as the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. This low-pressure region sees continuous rise of moist wind from the sea surface to the upper layers of the atmosphere, where the cooling means the air can no longer hold so much moisture resulting in precipitation.
i. What causes the monsoon?
ii. What changes the latitude?
iii. What is the ITCZ?
iv. What causes precipitation?

Q 38Unseen poem [6M]6 Marks

Trees are the kindest things I know,
They do no harm, they simply grow
And spread a shade for sleepy cows.
And gather birds among the boughs.
They are the first when the day's begin
To touch the morning sun,
They are the last to hold the light
When evening changes into night.
And when the moon floats on the sky
They hum a drowsy lullaby
Of sleepy children long ago..
Trees are the kindest things I know.
i. Why does the poet call the trees the kindest things he knows?
ii. What are the things that trees do?
