1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer from the alternatives:   1×7=7

A greenhouse is a house made of glass. It has glass walls and a glass roof. People grow vegetables, flowers and other plants in them. A greenhouse stays warm insider even during winter. During the daylight hours, a greenhouse gets warmer and warmer and stays pretty warm at night too. This is because the heat received from the sun is trapped inside the greenhouse by the glass.

The Earth is like a greenhouse. During the day Earth’s surface warms up in the sunlight. At night, the surface cools, releasing the heat back into the air. But some of the heat is trapped by the gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases, called greenhouse gases, work like the glass walls and the roof and keep the Earth warm. This is global warming and it is making the Earth a dangerous planet.

Unfortunately, we are making the Earth too hot. We are using oil, gas and coal for running cars, buses, trains, planes, power stations and so on. These fuels have carbon in them. This carbon and other gases trap the heat in the atmosphere and do not allow the Earth to cool down. As a result, the Earth gets hotter.

Bakhtiyar Khalji inaugurated Muslim rule in Bengal by conquering Nadia in early 1205 AD. A native of Garamsir in northern Afghanistan, Ikhtiyaruddin Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji belonged to the Khalji tribe of the Turks. He entreated Muhammad Ghuri at Ghazni to enlist him as a soldier but, because of his short physical stature with long arms extending below the knees, his prayer was rejected. A dejected Bakhtiyar proceeded to Delhi and sought an employment under Qutbuddin but there also his fate fared no better. Thence he went to Badaun where Malik Hizbaruddin appointed him to a lower post. From Badaun he repaired to Oudh and got a post befitting his ability under Malik Hushamuddin, the governor of the province. He was granted the parganas of Bhagwat and Bhiuli in the district of Mirzapur as jagir. Soon a large number of Khalji adventurers gathered around him and with their help he carried on raids into the neighboring Hindu territories and the amount of his soldiers increased gradually as well.

In 1203 AD Bakhtiyar made a sudden dash against Bihar, occupied it, destroyed Odantapur Bihar and returned with enormous booty. He met Qutbuddin Aibak and gave him valuable gifts. Qutbuddin in turn received him with great honour. Turning now his attention towards Bengal Bakhtiyar started on his adventure in the winter of 1204 AD and, proceeding through the unfrequented Jharkhand region, marched towards Nadia that only eighteen horsemen could keep pace with him. The city dwellers took him to be a horse-dealer and he captured the palace by surprise. Raja Laksmana Sena 'fled away by the back-door'. Meanwhile the main army of Bakhtiyar Khalji arrived and Nadia came under Muslims possession.

Now read the following statements and write whether the statements are true or false. Write only ‘T’ or ‘F’. If false, give the correct answer.                                           5
