It was well situated_________.
________the high peak of mount Ida.
The Iliad is the story of Ilium or Troy, a rich
trading city in Asia Minor near the narrow sea that
leads from the Aegean to the Black Sea. It was well
situated, both for commerce and agriculture. In front
of the city was the sea over which sailed the ships
of Troy, carrying goods and grain. At the back rose
the high peak of Mount Ida, from which flowed many
rivers and streams. The valleys among the hills were
well-watered and fertile, with corn growing in fertile
fields and cattle feeding on the rich grass of the
meadows while sheep fed on the slopes of the hills.
Round their city the Trojans had built a strong
wall so that no enemy should attack them from the
sea. The wall was so broad that people could stand
and sit and walk on it. The great gates stood open,
and people could go to the seashore outside and come
in as they pleased. But in time of war the gates would
be closed; and then the city was like a strong fortress,
quite safe from all attack, protected by the walls
surrounding it, as well as by the hills behind.

Q.4)Read the following passage and do the activities. (10 Marks)
(A1) Fill in the blanks. 02
(i) wastes are not being managed properly.
(ii) of garbage is one of the most important services.
(iii) At present of Delhi’s land mass is being choked by the garbage.
(iv) are managing solid wastes for at least 25 thousand Delhites.
It is obvious from the visible garbage around us that solid wastes are not
being managed properly. However, housing colonies are the most disorganized
sector as far as garbage is concerned. As a result, the legal garbage dumps are
overflowing and the number of illegal garbage dumps in the by-lanes, parks and
roadsides are on the increase in most colonies of Delhi and for that matter in
all Indian cities.
At present five percent of Delhi’s land mass is being choked by the garbage.
This five percent has become a wasteland, its utility is steadily declining and soil
quality is deteriorating. Besides being eyesores, these garbage dumps pose health
and environment hazard for the ten million people who live in Delhi. They are
breeding grounds for the germs of infectious disease like plague, tuberculosis,
dysentery, diarrhea, eye-infections and numerous skin ailments.
Scientific management of garbage thus is one of the most important services
that needs to be regularized in all residential colonies. After exploring all viable
solutions to this problem, I have successfully launched an indigenous scheme
– Cleaning Brigades – in many colonies of Delhi. The cleaning Brigades are
managing solid wastes for at least 25 thousand Delhites. A year and a half back
the first cleaning brigade was launched during the Asiad. Since then it has been
constantly expending.
