CTET January 2022 : English, Paper 1

PART - IV

---

IMPORTANT : Candidates should attempt questions from Part-IV (Q. No. 91 - 120), if they have  opted for ENGLISH as LANGUAGE - I only.

Directions (Qs. No. 91-99): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options.

The Ganga is the lifeblood of hundreds of millions of people in India and Bangladesh. Every day, they depend on its water for drinking, cooking and washing. Farmers rely on the river for water for their crops. Hindus worship the Ganges as a Goddess named Ganga. Yet this river is threatened by pollution and by the increasing water demands of industries, cities and a growing population.

The Ganga begins in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. The river flows southeast across the plains of Northern India. It enters Bangladesh and is joined by the Brahmaputra river and the Meghana river. There the river's name changes to the Padma river. It forms a delta 220 miles (350 km) wide, which is shared by India and Bangladesh. Finally, the river empties into the Bay of Bengal.

In comparison with many other major world rivers, the Ganga is short, with a length of about 1,560 miles (2,150 km) for most of its course, the river is wide and its waters are slow-moving.

The main sources of the Ganga are Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda. The water in these rivers comes from glaciers high in the Himalayas. Melting glacial ice sustains the Ganga and its tributaries.
