Re: NTSE STAGE 2 Question Paper

As you want here I am giving below NTSE STAGE 2 Question Paper on your demand :

Q.1-5 Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it.
Those with green fingers can always create their little heaven, be it on the ground or atop a multi-storey
house. The pressure of burgeoning population has forced cities to adopt vertical development. But that
does not mean that people living in higher storeys are deprived of the pleasures of their own gardens and
so the terrace garden culture is catching the imagination of gardening freaks.
For a terrace garden, leakage below and seepage through walls are the biggest apprehensions. Exposure
to the vagaries of weather is another hurdle. Thus, creating and maintaining a terrace garden is certainly
a challenge. It needs Immaculate planning regarding leakages below, the weight the roof can take, the
selection of plants, the planting material, the medium in which the plants are planted, garden decoration,
garden furniture and above all your own imagination.
Try to provide the garden with a bamboo fence as a wind barrier. This is also useful as a shade and you
could keep shade-loving plants under it. Net shades are available in different colours; these cut light to
different intensities and can be used overhead by fastening with hooks. You could remove these shades
in winter. Winter is a special time for such gardens: the sun is mild and the range of flowers tremendous.
