- What was the charter of Madinah, and how did it create a new system of governance that promoted fairness and equality?
Ans: The Charter of Madinah was a written constitution drawn up by the Holy Prophet ﷺ after the Hijrah. It joined Muslims, Jews and other tribes of Madinah into one political community. It guaranteed equal rights, freedom of religion, mutual defence and justice for all, and made the Prophet ﷺ the final judge in disputes. In this way law, not tribal power, ruled the city.
- Discuss how did Quaid-e-Azam develop the idea of responsible citizenship and idea of self-reliance.
Ans: Quaid-e-Azam taught that every citizen has duties as well as rights: to obey the law, work honestly and serve the state selflessly. He urged people to work hard, with unity, faith and discipline. For self-reliance he asked the nation to depend on its own effort and resources rather than on others’ help, and to stand on its own feet.
- What is the impact of limited financial and technical resources on climate change in Pakistan?
Ans: Pakistan cannot afford enough money, modern technology or trained experts to adapt to climate change. Flood defences, early-warning systems and clean energy therefore remain weak, and the country depends on foreign aid. As a result floods, droughts, melting glaciers and heat waves cause heavy losses of life, crops and infrastructure.
- Discuss some community-based initiatives mentioned for improving access to clean drinking water.
Ans: Local communities form water committees to install and maintain hand pumps and filtration plants. They harvest rainwater, protect wells and streams from pollution, and run awareness campaigns on boiling or chlorinating water. NGOs and volunteers train villagers to keep these systems running.
- How do humour, wit and satire often serve as methods of story-telling to comment on the political and social issues?
Ans: Writers use humour, wit and satire to criticise rulers, corruption and social follies indirectly. Exaggeration and irony make readers laugh, yet they also make them think about the fault being shown. Criticism wrapped in a story is easier to accept and remember than a direct attack.
- Draw a character sketch of Shahpesh in a few lines.
Ans: Shahpesh is a powerful king who is proud, vain and fond of praise. He expects obedience and is quick to anger. Yet he is shown to be open to a clever lesson, so the story uses him to expose the weakness of rulers who love flattery more than truth.
- What are water borne diseases?
Ans: Water borne diseases are illnesses spread by drinking or using water contaminated with germs such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. Examples are cholera, typhoid, dysentery, hepatitis A and diarrhoea. They are common where sewage mixes with drinking water.
- What did Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) say about equality of human race in his last sermon?
Ans: In his last sermon the Holy Prophet ﷺ declared that all human beings are children of Adam and therefore equal. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a white over a black person, except through piety and good deeds.
- What economic challenges did Pakistan face from India after independence?
Ans: India withheld most of Pakistan’s agreed share of cash balances and military and other assets, so the new state began without funds. Trade links were cut, industries and raw-material markets (such as jute) were lost, and the canal-water dispute threatened agriculture. Millions of refugees added to the burden.
- Explain the concept of “Urban Heat Island”.
Ans: An urban heat island is a city area that is noticeably hotter than the countryside around it. Concrete, asphalt and buildings absorb and hold heat, there are few trees to give shade, and vehicles and air-conditioners release more heat. This raises energy use and health risks.
- What does Allama Iqbal mean by saying that Europe’s civilization to no Makkah bends in the poem “Ruba’iyat”?
Ans: Iqbal means that Western civilization is built on materialism and does not turn towards Makkah, the centre of Islamic faith and spiritual values. Its direction is worldly gain, so it lacks the spiritual guidance Muslims draw from Islam.
- Find an example of personification in the poem “Those Winter Sundays” and explain its effect.
Ans: The poet speaks of “the chronic angers of that house”, giving the house human feelings of anger. This personification makes the home’s constant tension felt and shows the cold atmosphere in which the father’s quiet love still worked.
- What activities are taking place on the Echoing Green?
Ans: The sun rises, birds sing and the bells ring for spring. Children play games and sports on the green, while the old folk sit under the oak tree, laugh and watch them. At sunset the tired children return to their mothers’ laps.
- How does the poem “A Bird Came Down the Walk” explore the concept of natural beauty versus natural brutality?
Ans: The bird first bites a worm in half and eats it raw, which shows nature’s brutality. Then it sips dew, steps aside for a beetle, and finally glides away smoothly, which shows nature’s grace. The poem places both together as parts of one natural world.
- How does the poet portray the spiritual condition of contemporary Muslims in the poem “Ruba’iyat”?
Ans: Iqbal shows present-day Muslims as spiritually weak and heedless. They have lost the fire of faith and self-awareness, and imitate Western materialism instead of following their own values. The poet calls on them to wake up and revive their spirit.
- How does the speaker’s point of view change from childhood to adulthood in the poem “Those Winter Sundays”?
Ans: As a child the speaker was indifferent and even feared the house, taking his father’s early morning work for granted. As an adult he understands that these small acts were true love and sacrifice, and he feels regret for his lack of gratitude.
- How do the images of the old people relate with the themes of age and change in time with reference to the “The Echoing Green”?
Ans: The old folk sitting under the oak remember their own youth as they watch the children play. Sunrise and sunset match childhood and old age, so the images show that time moves in a cycle: each generation plays, grows old and is replaced by the next.
- What is the significance of speaker observing the bird without the bird’s knowledge in the poem “A Bird Came Down the Walk”?
Ans: Because the bird does not know it is watched, the speaker sees its natural, unspoiled behaviour. When the bird notices him it becomes afraid and flies off, showing that human presence disturbs nature’s innocence.
- Do you think the farcical elements of the play are effective in conveying a deeper message?
Ans: Yes. The exaggerated situations, mix-ups and slapstick make the audience laugh, but the laughter points at real faults such as carelessness and unfair attitudes to work. Humour makes the deeper message easy to accept and remember.
- What is the significance of Darry’s mistakes and failures in the plays?
Ans: Darry’s mistakes create the comedy and move the plot forward. More importantly they show his inexperience and teach him lessons, reminding us that people learn by failing and trying again.
- Discuss the concepts of morality learned by Darry at the end of the play.
Ans: By the end Darry learns responsibility, honesty and respect for the effort of others. He understands that work should be shared and that he must think before acting.
- In what ways does the play critique traditional gender roles especially concerning domestic work?
Ans: The play shows men struggling comically with household chores, which challenges the belief that domestic work belongs only to women. It suggests that housework is a shared duty and deserves respect.
- How does Barry contribute to the chaos in the play?
Ans: Barry’s clumsiness, careless actions and misunderstandings make every situation worse. His behaviour adds confusion and comedy and keeps the farce moving.

Honesty is the Best Policy
Karim was a poor woodcutter who lived near a river. One day while cutting a tree, his iron axe fell into the deep water. He sat down and wept. A kind spirit appeared and brought up a golden axe. “Is this yours?” it asked. “No,” said Karim. It showed a silver axe, but he again said no. At last it brought his old iron axe, and Karim joyfully said, “This is mine.” Pleased with his honesty, the spirit gave him all three axes.
A greedy neighbour heard the story, threw his axe in the river and claimed the golden one. The spirit refused and he lost his own axe too.
Moral: Honesty is the best policy.
Union is Strength
An old farmer had four sons who always quarrelled. One day he asked them to break a bundle of sticks. Each son tried and failed. Then he untied the bundle and gave each a single stick, which they broke easily. “My sons,” he said, “when you are united no one can harm you, but when you are divided you are weak.” The sons understood, stopped fighting and lived happily together.
Moral: Union is strength.
No more can be merry
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end:”
Reference: These lines are from the poem “The Echoing Green” by William Blake.
Context: The poem describes a happy spring day. The children play on the green while the old folk watch and smile. As evening comes the scene changes.
Explanation: The poet says the children keep playing until they are tired and can no longer enjoy themselves. As the sun sets, their games must end. Sunset stands for the end of the day and also of life, while the tired children going home to their mothers show that every stage of life has its time and ends peacefully.
freedom however does not mean license it does not mean that you can now behave just as you please and do what you like irrespective of the interests of other people or of the state
i. Plants die without water; she will dye her scarf blue.
ii. Do not waste your time; he wore a belt round his waist.
iii. The principal addressed the students; honesty is a good principle.
iv. The Badshahi Mosque is a beautiful sight; the building site is closed.
v. The artist painted on a canvas; candidates canvass for votes.
vi. I felt bored in the dull lecture; the teacher wrote on the board.
vii. The teacher tried to elicit answers; illicit trade harms the economy.
viii. The naval officer saluted the flag; the navel is a small scar on the abdomen.
“Clean water is vital for agriculture and food production. Inadequate access to clean water can hinder agriculture productivity and food security. Farmers rely on water for irrigation, livestock watering, and crop production.”
“Village Life”
Village Life
Introduction: A large part of Pakistan’s population lives in villages. Village life is simple, natural and peaceful, and it differs greatly from life in the noisy city.
Features: Villages have fresh air, green fields and open skies. Houses are mostly made of mud and bricks. People live close to each other, share joys and sorrows, and help one another at weddings, harvests and funerals. The day starts early with the call to prayer and the crowing of cocks.
Occupation: Most villagers are farmers who grow wheat, rice, cotton and sugarcane, and keep cattle. Others work as carpenters, potters and blacksmiths. Women also help in the fields and look after livestock and the home.
Problems: Many villages still lack good schools, hospitals, clean drinking water, electricity and paved roads. Poverty and lack of modern farming methods keep income low, so many young people move to cities.
Advantages: Village people are honest, hospitable and healthy. Pure food, fresh milk and hard physical work keep them fit, and their life is free from pollution and stress.
Conclusion: If the government provides education, health care and modern farming facilities, village life can become even more attractive. Since villages feed the nation, their progress is the progress of Pakistan.
