Question

Section-A (Reading)
1. Read the passage given below-
(i) A doll is a girl's first best friend with whom she shares every small little thing in her
mind. It is the first toy of her life which, ironically, is supposed to symbolise her own
demeanour. Wheather it is an innate quality or just a social construction, girls are
always supposed to be as prim and proper as a doll. Perhaps this social significance of
a doll in a girl's life is the reason behind the international recognition of the Doll
Museum in Delhi. Established in the year 1965. Shankar's International Doll Meseum
is like dreamland for children. It is, by far, the largest Doll Meuseum in the country,
spreading across an area of 5184 square feet. A noted political cartoonist by profes-
sion. K Shankar Pillai conceptualised the idea behind this museum and thus it came to
be known as Shankar's Doll Museum. Today, it houses almost 6500 exhibite from a
total number of 85 nations.
(ii) This Museum has been divided into two halves one half is for the collection from
Europe, the US, Austalia and New Zealand and the other for the Asian countries
including India. The Indian constribution sums up to around 500 unique dolls dresed
up in the Indian attire worn all across the country. Some dolls are also the representa-
tion of the different dance forms of India. A 'clinic' for the dolls which is needed for
restoration can also be found at the museum. Shankar's Doll Museum or simply the
Doll Museum, is one of the most visited destination for children's day out.
(iii) Watching sueh a high collction of beautiful dolls all together is a delightful experi-
ence enjoyed by the children. Not only does it bring joy to their faces but it also
