ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN 2-3 SENTENCES EACH:

1) In addition to war, what other man-made disasters are cited by the author?
Ans: A massive release of radioactivity from nuclear waste disposal and an outburst of mass violence are cited by the author as man-made disasters.

 

2) What did the writer learn from his experience in Geneva?
Ans: The Geneva meeting showed the writer an important truth. As a scientist, he was never alone, because there were people all over the world who thought and worked like him. This gave him confidence and comfort, even when he was far from home. Most importantly, the lesson he carried with him was that as long as science exists, there is always hope—for survival, peace, and the well-being of everyone.

 

3) How did the threat of mutually assured destruction protect the world?
Ans: During the Cold War, each superpower had enough nuclear bombs to wipe out the other. If one country launched a missile, the enemy would know right away and strike back with its own. In the end, both sides would destroy each other. This fear of “mutually assured destruction” was, for many years, the only fragile safeguard stopping the world from total ruin.

 

4) Why did the scientists meet at Geneva?
OR
‘Technical experts were summoned to solve the problem that arose’. What was the problem?
OR
Why did technical experts from the nuclear power nations meet in Geneva?

Ans: The scientists gathered at Geneva to talk about the danger of nuclear weapons. The problem was that an earthquake looked very similar to the tremor from a nuclear explosion. This made it hard to find out if any country broke the treaty. To solve this, experts from the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom—three nations with nuclear weapons—met to give their ideas and suggestions.

www.educsector.com

5) Why does Keilis-Borok feel that science is the indispensable guardian and caretaker of humanity? Support the statement with examples.
Ans: Keilis-Borok believes that basic scientific research is the key to building new ways of preparing for disasters. Science is neither the beginning nor the end, but when used wisely, it acts as a true protector and caretaker of humanity. Today, mankind faces dangers from both natural disasters like tsunamis and man-made ones like terrorism. Money alone cannot solve these problems. Only science can provide the real solutions. That is why the author strongly concludes that science is the true hope for human survival.

 

6) “Science is our indispensable guardian and caretaker”. Support this statement with a few examples which illustrate the writer’s stand.
Ans: Science is our true protector because it helps us move forward safely with time. When countries promise not to carry out nuclear explosions, only science can find out if they are keeping their word by telling the difference between earthquake tremors and nuclear blasts. Science also gives us new energy sources, discovers new minerals, and provides better ways to defend ourselves from terrorism.

 

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN 5-6 / 8-10 SENTENCES EACH:

1) When the author compares writers and scientists, what does he want to achieve?
Ans: By comparing a writer and a scientist, the author wants to highlight the degree of involvement these two professionals have with their work. Though writers and scientists don’t have much in common as far as their work is concerned, the author brings them together for comparison because their attitude to their work is the same. Just as a writer writes because he cannot live without writing, a scientist experiments because he is passionate about the joy of discovery.

www.educsector.com

2) Which are the natural and man-made disasters that threaten our civilization?
OR
What are the commonly recognized threats for the survival of our civilization?
Ans: The very survival of our civilization is threatened by natural and man-made disasters. Among them are earthquakes, self-inflicted destruction of megacities, environmental catastrophes, economic and social crises. Today, a massive release of radioactivity from a nuclear waste disposal, an earthquake in the middle of a megalopolis, an outburst of mass violence, or any other global disaster, can cause up to a million of casualties, render large part of our world uninhabitable, trigger global economic depression, or a war in a ‘hot’ region.

 

THINK ABOUT THE TEXT

1) The pursuit of science is an exciting adventure. Do you agree? Can you compare this with other types of adventure like the pursuit of sports? Share your views with your friends.

Ans: Yes, the pursuit of science is an exciting adventure. When you take up a scientific venture, you do so without knowing what the outcome is going to be. You can be in for trouble too. However, as in the case of an adventure, in the case of science to the final outcome, if it is what you wanted to achieve, gives you immense joy. However, in the field of science, unlike sports or other adventures, the outcome is directed at the welfare of common people.

 

2) Which sentence in the text suggest that the author was involved more in the theoretical research than in its application to the Warcraft?
Ans: The sentence in the text suggests that the author was involved more in the theoretical research than in its application to the Warcraft was in the 3rd para. i.e., “I did not give much thought to how it connects with the real life”.

www.educsector.com

3) “A paradox may refer to a person, a thing or a situation that has two opposite features and therefore seems strange”. In light of this definition, how is ‘MAD’ a paradox?

Ans: The acronym MAD means Mutually Assured Destruction. It’s paradoxical because nations amass nuclear weapons with the argument that it’s for self-defense. But if they use them by any chance it will lead to their destruction because the enemies will use their weapons as well and since the weapons have the capacity to destroy whole nations, the whole world may get annihilated.

 

4) What was the ‘problem’ that the nuclear powers had faced? Was it a violation of the agreement or was it the detection of violation? Explain briefly.
Ans: The problem faced by the nuclear powers was the possibility of breach of trust. Supposing nations sign a treaty banning nuclear explosions, and if one or the other nation breaks the bond, how would the other nations know about it. Thus the problem is both the violation of the agreement and the detection of it.

 

5) Why were the technical experts summoned by the three superpowers?
Ans: The three superpowers had enough nuclear bombs to destroy others. If anyone of them used, it would take only 20 minutes to reach their targets, but other side had plenty of time to reverse action against their enemy. So the three superpowers were willing to come to an agreement to solve the problem. Hence they summoned the technical experts.

 

6) In which area did Kellis Brooks theoretical knowledge has a direct application?
Ans: Keilis-Borok was doing research on the theory of seismic waves – tremors generated by an earthquake. Since underground nuclear explosions produced earth tremors very similar to those generated by earthquakes, it turned out that his knowledge of seismic waves had a direct application in the field of nuclear weapons or underground nuclear explosions.

 

7) “Iron Curtain” is referred to as a barrier. It was outwardly difficult for the opposite sides of the iron curtain to find out the solution for the problem of violation of the agreement. What was the reason?

Ans: Iron curtain was a barrier. It was difficult for the opposite sides to find out the solution. Because of the cold war continued, the political tensions were hanging over. The scientists gave up their differences and worked together irrespective of their nationality.

8) How are scientists able to work in spite of political and cultural differences?
Ans: According to the author, scientists should give up their cultural differences and work hard for the benefit of the whole of mankind. Scientists were able to work, based on respect to hard evidence known to be true something and they were skillful.

 

9) Make a list of lessons that the writer learned at the Geneva Summit.
Ans: The following are the important points that the writer had learned from the Geneva Summit as follows:

As a Scientist, the author had people like him all over the world who could think and interact as the author.

At abroad he need not feel lonely.

Science gives hope of survival and well being for the whole of mankind.

 

10) Give a few examples which illustrate the writer’s stand that scientists are the most practical people in the world.
Ans:

The writer places before the readers a number of examples from technology, industry, defence and entertainment to show that the scientists are the most practical people in the world. He says that all new technologies, all new brands of industry from defence to entertainment stem from fundamental research. Antibiotics, electronics, biotechnology, synthetic fibres, the green revolution, and genetic forensic diagnosis are all taken by the writer as examples of scientists being practical.

www.educsector.com

11) Who will be headhunted by financial institutions and pharmaceutical industries? Why?

Ans: The people who trained in theoretical physics are headhunted by financial institutions. Those who trained in frontiers of biological research become founders and directors in the pharmaceutical industry.

 

12) Some statements are given below. Why or why not are they true?
a) Money is more powerful than intellectual resources.
b) Intellectual resources help the survival of mankind.
c) Basic research is a way of stalling disasters.

Ans: a) Money is more important than intellectual resources – False
There is no assurance that money can buy everything. In fact many problems are created by money. But intellectual resources, of which science is the most significant, can improve the quality of life.

 

b) Intellectual resources help the survival of mankind – True
It is because of the intellectual resources that we have combated many diseases. Though man is not the fittest among all the creations of God, he is able to ensure his safety against the other powerful creatures of nature because of his intellectual resources. Basic research can help our survival by giving us new sources of energy and new mineral deposits. Basic research can also protect us against terrorism.

 

c) Basic research is a way of stalling disasters – True
Meteorologists study the ecological changes and forewarn people about natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, storms etc. People can be evacuated from the area posed with danger.

 

13) Imagine that you and some of your classmates have been selected to represent India in a meeting of scientists to be held in Russia to discuss the nuclear test. How would you all prepare for the meeting? Discuss among yourselves and write a paragraph about your proposed argument in the meeting.
Ans: self-assessment.

b) What does the writer intend to show with this statement?
Ans: a) The person referred to as ‘you’ and ‘clever’ is the scientist.
b) The writer intends to show that although scientists are very wise, their wisdom does not generally help them in generating wealth. That is, scientists are generally wise but not wealthy.

 

2) This episode taught me that as a scientist I have people all over the world who think and interact the way I do.
a) Who are the ‘people’ being referred to?
b) Which episode is being spoken about?
c) How does the world benefit from scientists who think alike?
Ans: a) The ‘people’ being referred to are scientists.
b) The episode is the atmosphere of the cold war in which scientists from opposite sides had to come to an understanding to promote world peace and prevent the use of nuclear weapons.
c) The world has the hope of survival. Scientists will have the common goal of preventing the use of nuclear weapons, irrespective of the nations they are.

3) “My theoretical knowledge had a direct application in the area of survival of humankind”.
a) In which field did the author, Borok, have theoretical knowledge?
b) How would it have a direct application in the area of survival of humankind?
c) How would the author’s theoretical knowledge be helpful?
Ans: a) The author was doing research on seismic waves and had theoretical knowledge in this field.

b) Underground nuclear explosions produced earth tremors like those generated by earthquakes. With this knowledge, the author would know the difference between the two. This would help in checking the violation of the Nuclear Test Ban agreement.

c) The author’s theoretical knowledge would be helpful in detecting the violation of the nuclear test ban agreement.
