Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (10)
Alexander Fleming was a Scottish bacteriologist who is best known for his discovery of penicillin, the world’s first antibiotic. Fleming’s discovery revolutionized the medical field and has saved countless lives. Born in 1881 in Lochfield, Scotland, Fleming showed an early interest in science. He studied medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, where he later worked as a researcher.
In 1928, while experimenting with influenza virus, Fleming noticed that a mold called Penicillium notatum had killed a number of bacteria on a petri dish. He isolated the mold and found that it produced a substance, which he named penicillin, that was effective against a wide range of harmful bacteria. Despite the potential of his discovery, Fleming’s initial findings did not receive much attention, and it was only years later, with the help of other scientists, that penicillin was developed into a widely-used antibiotic.
Fleming’s work earned him numerous accolades, including the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945. Despite his fame, he remained humble and dedicated to his work. Fleming’s discovery not only transformed the treatment of bacterial infections but also paved the way for future research in antibiotics and immunology. He passed away in 1955, leaving behind a legacy of scientific achievement and medical advancement.

Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
The Arctic fox is a small, white-coated predator native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is well-adapted to live in the cold environment, with thick fur, a rounded body shape to minimize heat loss, and a keen sense of hearing to locate prey under the snow. The diet of the Arctic fox includes small mammals, birds, and fish, but it is also known to scavenge from the kills of larger predators such as polar bears.
Arctic foxes are solitary animals, except during the breeding season when they form monogamous pairs. They make dens in the ground or snow and give birth to litters of up to 14 pups. These dens provide shelter from the harsh weather and protection from predators. In the summer, the fur of the Arctic fox changes to a brown or grey color to blend in with the tundra landscape.
Despite its adaptability, the Arctic fox faces several threats, including climate change, which is reducing the extent of the sea ice it relies on, and competition with the red fox, which is moving northward as temperatures rise. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this resilient yet vulnerable species.

The rainforest plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, thus helping to regulate the Earth’s climate.
