SUBJECT SPECIAL
Winners always say "I can do it".
The Andhra Pradesh State Tenth Class
English Paper is comparatively more
elaborative, comprehensive and testing.
The subject depth and the ability of
understanding of a student are really and
suitably posed. The pattern has bidden
farewell to the practice of mugging up culture
at least partly which the children are wont to.
There are two papers for tenth class for
the academic year each carrying 50 marks;
Paper-I and Paper-II. Each paper has two
parts; Part-A and Part-B. The prescribed text
book has 8 units for study. Each unit has
3 lessons named Reading A, B and C and
headed under different issues.
Thus there are 24 lessons of which are 5
poems. However, the weightage of marks to
academic standards, level of difficulty and
blue print have been provided or issued by
SCERT.
We are sure that the clear cut explanation of
the pattern with suitable examples and a detailed
elucidation of the topic/s will be of immense help
to the student who aspires to bag 10 grade points.

PAPER - I
In paper-I part-A, there are questions for
descriptive answers and for comprehension
that should be written on a separate answer
book. Part-B deals with grammar. Moreover,
all these questions are to be answered on the
question paper itself. Students should use capital letters while answering multiple choice
questions. Now let's look at the pattern of
questions.
PART - A
1. What do you think the poem 'Or will the
Dreamer Wake?' is about? (Will the
Dreamer Awake?)

bird and whale. The poetess expresses
how animals would become extinct if they
are not protected.
2. Why do the Jordans take a long time to get
to the house of Slaters? (The Dear
Departed-I)
Answer: The Jordans don't have the mourning
dresses for the occasion. Their arrival is
delayed in putting efforts to get them
which obviously show their more showmanship than their concern for their
demised father.
3. How did 'Chitrabani' help film-making in
Bengali? (Rendezvous with Ray)

PART - B
14th
Question No. 12:
Read the passage given below:
I was one of the children a short boy with
rather undistinguished looks, born to tall and
handsome parents. We lived in our ancestral
house, which was built in the middle of the
nineteenth century. It was a fairly large pucca
house, made of limestone and bricks, on the
Mosque street Rameswaram. (My Childhood)
Now answer the questions:
a) What kind of boy the speaker was?
question in paper-I part-B is on
The
the topic known as 'Numbered Gaps' because
each blank is numbered and for each blank
four choices will be given as A, B, C, and D.
The students have to choose the correct
answer from the choices and write only the
letters A, B, C, or D. The passage is mostly
unseen (not from the prescribed text). Complete the following passage as directed above:
Millions of innocent people…1… thousands of cops…2… lost their lives fighting
terrorism, but the…3…for human blood of the
creators and fumigators of terrorism…4…
quenched…5… .
1) A) along with
B) and
C) but
D) besides

B) had
C) are
D) having
Set clear and specific goals for the study sessions
Prioritize to ensure that material weighted more heavily in the
exam gets sufficient study time Take into account your
familiarity with the material and the difficulty level
3) A) desire
B) want
C) thirst
D) quest
4) A) isn't
B) wasn't
C) hasn't been
D) hadn't been
5) A) yet
B) still
C) just
D) so far
Key: 1) B, 2) A, 3) C, 4) C, 5) D
After reading the whole passage once and
inserting a word of your choice at first, it obviously comes to your mind the exact answer for
it surely looks absurd if at all you inserted
wrong choices. Please know that the tense of
the passage will solve most of your problems
in such passages as this. Try to maintain tense
balance throughout the given passage.
Key: i) E, ii) F, iii) D, iv) C, v) B
The questions from 16th to 21st are set on
functional grammar ability of the student. The
topics like Direct and Indirect Speech, Active
and Passive Voice, Relative Clauses that are
formed by using 'who, whose, whom, when
etc. prepositions' and 'contractions' are some
that you must be thorough with. There may be
internal choice among these questions which
should be taken from the text prescribed.
The 16th question may be on phrasal verbs:
Examine the following:
I saw her off last evening.
I saw her last morning
When did I see her?
Now let's have a look at one more passage:
In the lab a comparative...1…of two
chemicals revealed interesting results. One of
the…2…showed that it lacked shear-thinning…3…which are…4…of the other.
Practical knowledge does play a key role in
understanding the scientific…5…well.
1) A) arrangement

2. A) objects
B) kinds
C) particles
D) compounds
3. A) conditions
B)state
C) properties
D) settings
4. A) reverse
B) simply
C) characteristics
D) special
5. A) relations
B) concepts
C) approach
D) strategies
Key: 1) C, 2) D, 3) C, 4) C, 5) B
The 15th question is put on Matching.
There will be two columns 'A' and 'B'. Five
full meaningful sentences are broken or split
into two parts that are jumbled. Usually a sentence is split into 'subject part and its predicative part' or 'Main clause and subordinate or
coordinate clause'. Truly speaking, to match
these sentences a sense of logical approach is
more needed and helpful than the perplexing
rules of grammar.
Now let's look at an exercise:
A
i) What is done can't
()
ii) Ram continued to draw
()
iii) My heart leaps
()
iv) They tried to draw
()
v) His being a bit nepotistic
()
B
A) be seen sometimes.
B) seems to be a little complex.
C) some money from another account
D) whenever I see flying birds in the sky.
E) be undone.
F) and was disturbed while doing so.
If we have a close look at the above, it is
clear that any mismatching seems quite absurd
when the student tries to think of the basic
meaning of the parts given. For example, one
can't say 'What is done can't seems to be a little complex'. 'What is done' is the subject and
the finite verb 'can't be undone' is split.
Similarly, 'My heart leaps 'is the main clause
while 'whenever I see flying birds' is the subordinate clause.
'See' means 'to perceive detect with the eyes or
as if by sight or to witness or observe by personal experience. 'See off' means 'to accompany someone to a point of departure or to defeat'. So I saw her in the morning of yesterday
and bade farewell by accompanying her up to
railway station in the evening of yesterday.
Examine the following also:
That cottage industry is closed on Sunday.
The wine shop is closed down on Sunday.
Which will be open on Monday? The
word 'close' has about 30 variants in meaning.
Here close means 'shut'. That cottage industry
is shut on Sunday and can be opened on
Monday.
But 'close down' is a phrasal verb or verb
phrase which means 'to cease or cause to
cease operations'. So the second sentence has
the meaning that the wine shop has permanently been closed and will not be opened till
the further orders from the authorities concerned.
Answer the following:
1. I left for Rajahmundry.
My brother left Rajahmundry.
Who is not in Rajahmundry?
2. We set off for London.
They set out on the last stage of their journey.
Who left the place to go on a journey?
3. They backed up my proposal
He backed out of the deal.
Which is supported, deal or proposal?

10th Class Special - English
4. He turned down my application.
She turned my application.
Who went through my application?
5. They made out the lesson.
He made the lesson.
Who understood the lesson?
The verbs give different shades of meanings when they are used with some most
important adverbial particles like up, in, out,
into, of, off, on
Key: 1) My brother, 2) They,
3) proposal, 4) she, 5) they
The 17th question may on direct and indirect speech
For example:
Direct and Indirect Speech:
'I decided to be thankful for what I do have
and not get angry about what I don't' (Attitude
is Altitude)
He (Nick) decided to be thankful for what
he did have or what he had and not get angry
about what he didn't (have).
Notes:
In Direct speech, 'said' is called 'Reporting
verb' because it reports the actual words spoken by the speaker. The words in quotation
marks are said to be 'Reported speech'. The
reporting verb 'say to' becomes 'tell', 'says to'
becomes 'tells' and 'said to' becomes 'told' in
Indirect speech.
When the reporting verb is in the past
tense, the tense of the verb of the reported
speech is changed to its corresponding past
tense.
But the tense of the verb of the reported
speech doesn't change if the reporting verb is
in the present or future tense (present or future
means all the four sub tenses of each tense).
Similarly, things that are nearer in time
and place are said to be remote or farther in
indirect speech. Thus there is a change of
tense, personal pronouns, possessive adjectives and adverbs while transforming a direct
sentence into an indirect one.
Any sentence either a question, an exclamation or an imperative must be changed into
a statement in indirect speech ending in a full
stop.
The reporting verb is changed into ask,
want to know, enquire, shout, exclaim with
joy, sorrow, pain or pleasure, wonder, pray,
implore, beg, beseech, advise, suggest,
declare, question, interrogate, scream, or any
other word or phrase that describes the feelings of the speaker or the spirit of his speech.
Report the following into indirect speech.
1. Nick said, "My dad put me in the water at
18 months and gave the courage to learn
how to swim"
2. Tom Watson Sr. said, "If you want to succeed, double your failure rate".
3. 'Well done my boy', his father said.
4. Henry said, "I'm wondering if they'll come
at all".
5. Mrs. Slater said to Victoria, "Don't talk so
silly. There's no one who can hurt you".
Key:
1) Nick said that his dad had put him in the
3
water at 18 months and given the courage
to learn how to swim.;
2) Tom Watson Sr. said that if anybody wants
to succeed, they should double their failure
rate. Here the 2nd personal pronoun 'you'
becomes 'anyone or anybody' since it refers
to all. Moreover, as it is always true, there
is simple present tense in the subordinate
clause though the reporting verb is in the
simple past. The sentences of universal
truths and scientific facts takes simple past;
3) His father appreciated his son saying that
he had done well.;
4) Henry was wondering if they would come
at all.;
5) Mrs. Slater warned/asked Victoria irritatingly not to talk silly in that way as there
was none who could hurt her.
As there is choice here, the student can
answer the following question on phrasal
verbs instead of the question on direct and
indirect narration.
The 18th question may be on voice.
Active Voice and Passive Voice
They waved at him as the train slowly left
the platform-Active voice (From the lesson 'I
Will Do It')
He was waved at by them as the train
slowly left the platform-Passive voice.
Look at the following sentences:
Sastry wrote a book on grammar.
A book on grammar was written by Sastry.
In the first sentence the subject, Sastry, performs the action and the verb wrote, is said to
be in the active voice. In the second sentence
the subject is a book on grammar, and the
verb, 'was written' is said to be in the passive
voice.
A verb is in the active voice when it tells
what the subject does.
It is said to be in the passive voice when it
tells what the subject suffers or undergoes.
We know that only a verb used transitively can take an object; therefore, only a transitive verb has the feature of voice, the active
and the passive. A verb that has an object of its
own is called transitive verb and if it has two,
it is then known as ditransitive. So it is sometimes possible for two passive forms of a
ditransitive verb when there are two objects.
E.g. I sent her a message. (AV) A message was
sent (to) her by me or she was sent a message
by me (PV)
Active voice subject verb
object
Cats
eat
fish
The passive voice is less usual. In the passive
voice, the subject receives the action of the
verb:
Passive
subject verb
object
Fish are eaten by cats
The object of the active verb becomes the
subject of the passive verb:
Subject
verb
object
Active Everybody drinks
water
Passive
Water is drunk by everybody
1) The passive voice is formed by putting the
verb 'to be' into the appropriate tense and
adding the past participle (V3 - the third
form of a finite verb)

I was hating
I have hated
I had hated

Passive Voice
I am hated
I am being hated

2) Study the following sentences:
Active
Passive
Bees (S) make honey (O) (A.V.)
Honey (S) is made by bees (O) (P.V.)
He (S) explained the lesson (O) (A.V.)
The lesson (S) was explained
by him (O) (P.V.)
The rich (S) hate the poor (O) (A.V.)
The poor (S) hated by the rich (O) (P.V.)
S = Subject, O = object
We notice that when a sentence is changed
from active to Passive, the object of the active
voice becomes the subject of the passive.
3) Let us examine the following sentences:
Active
Passive
Shaw wrote this play (A.V.)
This play was written by Shaw (P.V.)
The postman is collecting letters (A.V.)
Letters are being collected by the postman
(P.V.)
We see that in the passive voice the agent,
when mentioned, is preceded, by the
preposition by'.
4) Let us look at the following:
Active
Passive
People always admire this picture (A.V.)
This picture is always admired (P.V.)
Someone has stolen my books (A.V.)
My books have been stolen (P.V.)
People speak English all over the world
(A.V.)
English is spoken all over the world (P.V.)
We notice that when the subject in the
active voice is vague or unknown, it
remains unexpressed in the passive voice.
5) Study the following sentences:
Active
Passive
1) I paid them the bill. (A.V.)
a) They were paid the bill by me./
b) The bill was paid to them by me (P.V.)
2) Who taught you English? (A.V.)
a) By whom were you taught English?/
b) By whom was English taught to you?/
c) Who/whom were you taught English
by? (P.V.)
We notice that when a verb in the active
voice has an indirect as well as a direct
object, either of them can become the
subject of the passive voice. But it is more
usual in English to make the personal
(indirect) object the subject of the passive
voice.
6) When we wish to turn an imperative,
active into the passive, we have to make
use of a paraphrase, using the verb let:
Active
Passive
Tell him to go. (A.V.)
Let him be told to go. (P.V.)
Equip the boys with ropes and torches.
(A.V.)
Let the boys be equipped with ropes and
torches. (P.V.)
Pen something in the book. (A.V.)
Let something be penned in the book.
(P.V.)
Interrogatives or questions:
Whom did you laugh at? (A.V.)
Who was laughed at by you? (P.V.)
Why doesn't he do it? (A.V.)
Why isn't it done by him? (P.V.)
The passive construction is used:
1) If the active subject is not known, so
that an active construction is impossible:
My purse has been stolen (I do not
know by whom).
She was tempted to buy.
The plane was lost somewhere in the
hills.
2) When the subject in the active voice is
unmistakably clear from the context:
He was sent to prison for three years
(by the judge).
She was dismissed (for her mistress by
them). Mistakes are always committed
by anyone/one.
3) If we do not want to mention the
active subject, we then use the impersonal passive construction, with 'It'
as the subject of the passive verb.
It is said that there will be a great
crowd (somebody said so)
It is believed that the prisoner is not
guilty (believed by people in general).
It is rumored that the government proposes to introduce tax on growing
one's hair. (Some people have spread
the rumour).
It is feared that there are no survivors
in the recent mishap.
4) If we take a great interest in the sufferer than in the doer of the action:
Sarat was punished by her father. The
ship was wrecked in a storm.
Rewrite the following into sentence in passive form.
1. Ray produced many films of international
fame (AV)
Many films of international fame were
produced by Ray (PV)
2. I realized why God had made us like this.
(AV)
Why God had made us like this was realized by me. (PV)
The 19th question in paper-I part-B may be
on different ways of joining or combining
sentences using various connectors or conjunctions like in spite of, as soon as, instead
of, neither …nor, either …or, so…that, such
… that, unless, if…not enough, relative pronouns like who, whose, whom, relative
adverbs like where, when, why etc.
Study the following:
1. A New York Times editorial questioned
the wisdom of the Wright Brothers. They
were trying to invent a machine heavier
than air that would fly. Combine them
with 'who'.
A New York Times editorial questioned
the wisdom of the Wright Brothers, who
Don't make the study sessions too long;
Study sessions should have enough variety in terms of topics
and activities to prevent boredom and loss of effectiveness;
Avoid cramming before the exam
were trying to invent a machine heavier
than air that would fly
2. There was much public protest. They continued implementing the policy. Combine
them with 'in spite of'.
In spite of much public protest, they continued implementing the policy.
Try to learn the other connectors in sentences of your own and get them corrected
by your teacher concerned with proper
explanation. It is simply practice that takes
you to success.
The 20th question may be on 'contractions,
using appropriate verb forms, using the right
word etc.
Very important and authentic list of some
Contracted auxiliaries for you
The following contractions of auxiliary
verbs (including forms of be, whether as a
strict auxiliary or as a copular verb) are used:
'm for am, in I'm (for I am)
's for is, as in it's (for it is), the man's (for
the man is, although the same form is used
for the possessive)
're for are, mostly in we're, you're and
they're
've for auxiliary have, mostly in I've,
you've, we've and they've
's for auxiliary has (the examples given
above for is could also be intended as it
has and the man has)
'd for auxiliary had, mostly in I'd, you'd
etc. and who'd (including in the expression
had better), and similarly for would
'll for will (sometimes interpreted as shall)
In very informal English,'s' for does and'd'
for did, as in what's (What does) he do
there? Who'd (Who did) you see there?
The contraction 's' (representing is, 'has or
does) is pronounced in the same way as the
regular plural ending -(e)s and possessive ending 's, namely as /iz/ when following a sibilant
sound, as /s/ when following any other voiceless consonant, and as /z/ otherwise.
Negative contractions
Contractions of negated auxiliary verbs in
Standard English are formed by reducing the
negative grammatical particle not to n't, a
clitic or suffix which is fused to the root verb
form (which is modified in a few cases). The
n't may form a separate syllable, as in isn't and
wouldn't (which are two-syllable or disyllabic
words), or may become part of the preceding
syllable, as in the monosyllables don't, aren't
and weren't.
The standard contractions for negation of
auxiliaries are as follows:
From forms of be: isn't, aren't, wasn't,
weren't
From forms of have: haven't, hasn't, hadn't. I've for I have, you've for you have,
he's for he has
From forms of do: don't, doesn't, didn't
From modal verbs: can't (the full form is
the single word cannot), couldn't, mayn't
(rare), mightn't, mustn't, shan't (for shall
not), shouldn't, won't (for will not),
wouldn't, daren't, needn't, oughtn't,
usedn't (rarely used).
I'll for I will or shall, he/she/it'll for he
will, she will, it will
Contractions not involving auxiliaries
The following contractions used in English do
not involve either auxiliaries or their negations:
let's for let us when used to make firstperson plural imperatives
in some nonstandard dialects, 's for as
used for the relative pronoun that
o' in o'clock (originally a contraction of
the words 'of'
't for it, archaic except in stock uses such
as 'T was the night before Christmas.
'em for them (in fact from the old form
hem)

The 21st question may be on prepositions.
The student has to choose the correct one
from the given ones in brackets.
Notes:
There are over 100 prepositions in
English. This is a very small number when
compared to the vast number of nouns, adjectives, and verbs which English has. Most sentences that people produce contain at least one
preposition; indeed, three out of ten most frequent words of English are prepositions: of, to
and in. This means that the number of times
Prepositions can be studied under three categories.
1. Simple prepositions. 2. Compound prepositions and
3. Phrase or phrasal prepositions.
you need to use a particular preposition is
much higher than an ordinary word such as a
noun, adjective, or verb.
Prepositions are used as the first word in a
prepositional group, which provides information about place, or, time or in a more abstract
way, about relationship between people or
things. Prepositions have a function in language rather than a clear meaning of their
own.
A Preposition is a word used or placed
before a noun or pronoun. It shows the relation
between the noun and something else. A
preposition is followed by a "noun". It is never
followed by a verb. Knowledge of prepositions is vital as it is a very important area from
which questions will be asked in almost all
competitive examinations. Prepositions can be
studied under three categories. 1. Simple
prepositions. 2. Compound prepositions and 3.
Phrase or phrasal prepositions.
Simple prepositions: Examples: of, in, to, till,
at, by, for, from, off, out, with, etc.
Compound prepositions: They are formed by
prefixing a (=on) before a noun, an adjective
or an adverb or by prefixing be (=by) before a
noun an adjective or an adverb. Eg. before,
behind, below, beneath, beside, between,
beyond etc
Double prepositions: In some contexts, a single preposition may not serve the purpose
where there is a need of more than one preposition. Some such ones are: from above, from
within, within, from among, from behind etc
Eg. She looked at me from above her glasses.
She replied from behind the curtain. I heard a
feeble voice from within the well. Can anybody from among you answer this?
Participial prepositions: Just like present participles, these prepositions end in -ing form
such as barring, concerning, considering, during, notwithstanding, pending, regarding,
respecting etc. These are used absolutely without any noun or pronoun qualified by them
because they are no longer participles governing some object which is a noun or pronoun.
Eg. Barring accidents, trains arrive on time.
Notwithstanding my efforts, the scheme
failed. Respecting your plans, we shall discuss
them at length. Concerning your job, I will
write to later.
Phrase or phrasal prepositions: Examples- in
course of, in favour of, in case of, according
to, by reason of, in the event of, owing to,
away from, in compliance with, with reference
to, instead of, with an eye to, in comparison to,
because of, etc.

years.

E.g. He lives at Katuru.
In refers to a big area.
E.g. He lives in Vijayawada.

E.g. There was a quarrel between the two
sisters.
Among is used for more than two persons
or things.
E.g. The food is distributed among the
boys in the class.
3. Amongst:

persons or things but is always used before

with the words that have the same meaning.
They may thus be called Synonyms. Here
the student needs a thorough reading of the

sort. A test on vocabulary has almost become
a compulsory question in almost all competitive examinations. Students must give more
importance to the reading of the text than just
cramming a few selected questions and
answers.

sentences with the words given in box.
Observant, fastidious, idealistic,
obnoxious, cultured, blinding

Derivational prefixes do not normally alter the word class of
the base words; that is, a prefix is added to a noun to form a
new noun with a different meaning.

The 25th question may be on prefixes
and suffixes that are together known as
affixes. The given eight words are to be put
under the correct heading whether each is a
prefix or suffix.
Notes on affixes: English language spoken as
well as written continues to dominate all over
the world. In every field of activity, whether
social, cultural, official or political, it has
become almost a part of the everyday life of
an individual. So, the necessity of cultivating
the habit of speaking and writing this language
correctly is of prime importance for both a
layman and a sophisticated worker, whoever
strives at making some progress in life. For
this, there is every need to increase one's fund
of vocabulary.
Thousands and thousands of words have
among them many derived nouns. A study of
these words will be of greatest use. Derived
nouns are formed from other words by means
of affixation (prefixes and suffixes)
AFFIXATION:
Derivational prefixes do not normally alter the
word class of the base words; that is, a prefix
is added to a noun to form a new noun with a
different meaning.
BASE NOUN SUFFIXED NOUN
Patient
outpatient (a patient who is
not resident in a hospital)
Group
subgroup (a group which is a
part of a larger group)
Trial
retrial (another trial of the
same person for the same
crime)
Derivational suffixes, on the other hand,
usually change both the meaning and the word
class; that is, a suffix is often added to a verb
or adjective to form a new noun with a different meaning:
BASE WORD
SUFFIXED NOUN
Adjective: dark
darkness
Verb: agree
agreement
Noun: friend
friendship

Read the following passage given below:
Conversation is indeed the most teachable
of all arts. All you need to do in order o
become a good conversationalist is to find
a subject that interests you and your listeners. There are for example so many
hobbies to talk about. But the important
thing is that you must talk about the other
fellow's hobby rather than your own.
Therein lies the secret of your popularity.
Talk about the things that interest them
and you will get a reputation for a good
fellowship, charming wit and a brilliant
mind. There is nothing that pleases people
so much as your interest in their interest. It
is therefore just as important to know
which subject to select. Avoid unpleasant
topics such as death or sickness and our
own problems. To be a good conversationalist, you must know not only what to say
but also how to say. Be civil and modest.
Don't over emphasize your own importance. Be mentally quick and witty. But do
not hurt others by your wit.
A) Now choose the correct answer from
the given choices and write its letter in
the brackets.
1. To be a good conversationalist you are

Let's look at a passage as an example:
What is that makes a good school? It must
have good teachers, but they don't make
school. You have to learn things in order o
train your brains but that is only a part of
education. What distinguishes a good
school is what is commonly called its tone
and that is nothing more or less than the
mass consciousness of the students. It is
they, who make or mar a school. It is not
merely a question of the observance of
rules or obedience to orders. It is a subconscious calling of self-respect and discipline among the students themselves.
Certain things are recognized as what we
call 'bad form' unworthy of the students
themselves, so of their school and this
crystallizes into tradition, which it
requires a great deal of audacity to break.
If this feeling of self-respect among the
boys is on the right lines, the 'tone' of the
school is good and you will find in later
life that you will never lose the feeling of
pride in your school.
Now answer the following: 2×1= 2M
a) 1. Why should one have to learn
things?

iii) recognize, iv) distinguish

16. Read the following passage carefully
Many people think that science and religion are contrary to each other. But this
notion is wrong. As a matter of fact, both
these are complementary to each other.
The aim of both these institutions is to
explain different aspects of life, universe
and human existence. There is no doubt
that the methods of science and religion
are different. The method of science is
observation, experimentation and experience. Science takes its recourse to progressive march towards perfection, the
rules of religion are faith, intuition and
spoken word of the enlightened, in general, while science is inclined towards reason and rationality; spiritualism is the
essence of religion.
In earlier times when man appeared on
earth, he was over-awed at the sight of
violent and powerful aspects of objects of
nature that overwhelmed him. Thus began
the worship of forces of nature-fire, the
sun, the rivers, the rocks, the trees, the
snakes etc. The holy scriptures were written by those who had developed harmony
between external nature and their inner
self. The object was to ennoble, elevate
and liberate the human spirit and mind.
But the priestly class took upon itself the
monopoly of scriptural knowledge and
interpretation to its own advantage. Thus
the entire human race was in chains. Truth
was flouted and progressive, liberal and
truthful ideas of their beholders punished.
It was in these trying circumstances the
science emerged as a saviour of mankind.
But its path was not smooth and safe. The
scientists and free thinkers were tortured.
This was the fate of Copernicus, Galileo,
Bruno and others. But, science gained
ground.
