Answer 1

Answer:

1. A general election is a political voting election where generally all or most members of a given political body are chosen.

An election to choose a new Member of Parliament for a particular town or area (a constituency). is called By-elections.

4. (i) The British government gave many large European trading firms the sole right to trade in the forest products of particular areas.

(ii) Grazing and hunting by the local people were restricted.

(iii) In this process, many pastoralists and nomadic communities lost their livelihoods.

5. There are 543 Parliamentary constituencies in India each electing one member.

6. Yet, while the Nazi government sought to create a maternal ideal for the Aryan woman, they also sought financial gain from the textile industry. While Hitler urged women to consume, he concluded that women must only consume German products.

Answer 2

Question 1:

→ General Elections

Those elections that are conducted regularly after a particular time period to select representatives for the Lok Sabha or the Vidhan Sabha as a whole is known as general elections.

→ By elections

Those elections that are conducted in one particular constituency due to the sudden demise or resignation of its representative are known as by-elections. That is, by-elections are conducted in order to replace the resigned or the dead representative.

Question 2:

→ Restriction was imposed on nomadic men and their cattle on grazing and collecting forest products.

→ Those people who were completely depended on forest products were now unemployed. This forced them to look for jobs in cities. As they had lack of education, they could find only manual work in factories, workshops etc.

→ As the British government wanted to minimise deforestation and to use trees for industrial purposes, large acres of land were given to European trading firms. They only had the sole right to procure the forest products.

Question 3:

There are 543 constituencies in India for Lok Sabha elections and much more in Vidhan and municipal elections. Constituencies are the areas demarcated by the election commission of India for the sole purpose of elections.

Question 4:

Even though Hitler had many flaws, he respected women. He saw women as the most important people of the family and has done many policies for the welfare of women. Hitler hailed women as "the most important citizen" in his Germany. But we should keep in mind that these were only for Aryan women and pure-blooded Aryan girls. He asked them to consume a lot, but only German products. He also said that the sole purpose of women was to mother good kids who can be a good asset to the society. Due to this policy, working women were forced to resign work and stay at home. They weren’t even called to work at the times of crisis and war.

Interesting fact

→ Hitler introduced a medal to those women who has mothered over 8 children.
