Q.1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (8 MARKS)
Why is this enormous increase in population taking place? Is it really due to the spread of the knowledge and the practice of
what is coming to be called Death control. You have heard of birth control. Death control is something rather different. Death
control recognizes the work of the doctors and the nurses and the hospitals and the health services in keeping alive people
who, a few years ago, would have died of some of the incredibly serious killing diseases, as they used to be. Squalid
conditions, which we can remedy by an improved standard of living, caused a lot of disease and dirt. Medical examinations at
schools catch diseases early and ensure healthier school children. Scientists are at work stamping out malaria and other more
deadly diseases. If you are seriously ill there is an ambulance to take you to a modern hospital. Medical care helps to keep
people alive longer.
