FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (Slip Test–Unit- 5 & 6) 

ENGLISH – CLASS – 10 – Marks: 20

(READING COMPREHENSION) (4 X 2 ½ = 10 M)

I) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.                   

W M: It was a need. When the women said they needed firewood and building material, we responded to that need. Plant trees; then you will have trees for firewood. In the tropics, trees grow very fast. In five to ten years these trees serve as firewood, as building materials.

Once we had planted those trees, we saw the need for them to understand why we have to have good governance; so it became important to give them civic education so that they could understand how we govern ourselves, why we govern ourselves the way we govern ourselves, why we are managing our environment the way we are managing it. Because we were dealing with the environment, we gave them education both in civics and also in environment. That made them understand clearly why they should take up the responsibility of protecting their environment-that it was not the responsibility of the government or the responsibility of somebody else to come and rehabilitate their environment on their own land. It's them; it's their responsibility.

Answer the following questions:

1. Why did Wangari Maathai encourage the women to plant trees?
