A. Read the passage and answer the questions : (10 marks)

Do you know that around 270 eucalyptus trees or 460 bamboo plants

are saved when we produce one tonne of hand-made paper? It is eco

friendly hand-made paper that also checks pollution of water, land

and air. Large quantities of polluting chemicals are used by paper

mills.

Hand-made paper is the best form of recycled paper. It has a fine

surface for writing. It is also strong enough for making drawings.

Paper manufacturing is a very old tradition. It was invented in China

nearly two thousand years back. Indians used the leaves of palm

trees for writing. Papyrus is a kind of paper made from a reed of the

same name. It grew on the banks of the River Nile, and was used in

Egypt.

The hand-made paper industry flourished in India during the Mughal

period. But it died with the setting up of paper mills in the 18th and

19th centuries. Mahatma Gandhi revived it during the freedom

movement. Today it is a fast growing industry.

(b) prospered

(c) bring back to life​
