I was having tea at home on the evening of 30th January, 1948, when I was called to Birla house by an urgent telephone. Gandhiji had been shot on his way to a prayer meeting. I was numb with shock as I got into the car.
At the Birla House, Gandhiji's relatives and followers had gathered round his body. There was silence in the room as Gandhiji breathed his last. Words of Bapuji’s death had spread through Delhi like a flame fanned by wind. Sad groups of men and women had collected around Birla house. Out of every window one could see a brown blur of faces.

3. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
Global warming is the process through which the earth heats up and the temperature rises. This happens when there is an increase in the production of gasses like carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide and methane, which are known as greenhouse gasses. These greenhouse gasses trap heat and light from the Sun in the earth’s atmosphere, and this, in turn, increases the temperature, and causes global warming. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the average temperature of the earth has risen by 0.08 degree celsius.
Around the world, climate change is causing long-term changes to the environment. The sea levels are rising and Arctic Sea is melting. More intense hurricanes are approaching our coast lines,and more glaciers are retreating from the mountain valleys they once filled. Warmer temperatures have led to more intense rainfall in some areas. This can cause flooding. Higher temperatures cause droughts In some areas in the world, causing a decline in crop productivity, which may lead to food shortage. Heat waves have become common, and more living species are becoming endangered.
