8. Read the passage and answer the following questions :
Subhash Chandra Bose fought against the English keeping
the nation one by gaining too much power. Well educatedSubhash was unable to pocket the insult
of his country. So
he started a mammoth fighting against the rule of alien. At
first moderate Congressmen opposed the fiery step of Netaji
and advised him to adopt their style. He heard everyone but
did according to his sheer characteristics. In course of time
he became a popular figure of the country and was
supported by a large number of countrymen. Congress was
working in two factions for the freedom struggle against the
cruel rule of the English. Netaji never opposed Gandhiji,
rather he worked separately with the help of countrymen. His
struggle was subdued violently but Netaji never deviated
from his way; he rather gained much potentiality as well as
experience. He felt the people of India might be in better state
if they were ruled by themselves and for that he had to drive
away the English forcibly. Then the people of India would
prosper and could erect the prestige of the country.
In the struggle of 1942 he tried his best in the midst of
Second World War when Hitler and Mussolini were in the
way to clinch the English. Netaji planned to drive the English
from India with the help of Germany. Unfortunately he could
not succeed in his target and disappeared forever. Ultimately
India got independence in 1947 and Netaji could not enjoy
himself the pleasure of emancipation. We respectfully call
him the Netaji.

to it. [Marks 6 + 2]
ii) What was the main idea of Netaji for freedom ? 3
iii) Why did Netaji seek foreign help ?

c) To gain much support
d) To incite his countrymen into waging a war against
them. [Marks 2]
iv) Choose the word most nearly the same in meaning to
the word mammoth. [Marks 1]
a) huge b) percentage
c) improve d) fierce.
v) Choose the word most nearly the opposite in meaning to
the word emancipation. [Marks 1]
a) liberty b) dependency
c) imprison d) slavery.
