1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow-
(a) Those of us who live in regions covered with forest and surrounded by hills, may find
it difficult to imagine what a desert is really like. The popular belief is that it is an
endless stretch of sand when no rain falls and therefore no vegetation grows. It is dry,
hot, water less and without shelter. But this is not entirely correct for those who have
studied it. The desert can be a beautiful place. It is the home of a variety of people,
animals and plants that have learnt to live under very hot and dry conditions. True,
the ground is not always hidden by a cover of grass, plants and trees as it is in other
climates but whenever it rains which is rare desert flowers bloom and the site can be
as rewarding as that of any tropical garden. A desert is not always a flat and changing
waste land of dry send it may have mountains and hills it may have innocence big or
small and doses is like a green Island in the middle of a desert where is spring or a
well gives plants and trees a better chance to grow. A desert maybe hot like that are
are cold like Ladakh but generally speaking if a place has little or no water and
vegetation people usually call it a desert. Some deserts are almost totally without
water, in such places strong winds blow raising heaps of sand and depositing them as
mountains these are called sand dunes that shift and move endlessly across the desert
few plants can survive on such climate.
