Q.2) (A)Read the following passage and complete the activities.
Kite -flying has a long history. There are many
Greek, Indian and other mythological stories which tell
us about human beings wanting to or trying to fly.
Over a period of time, this desire of humans and
their imagination probably led to the invention of kites.
And it is likely that the box- kites, designed more than
a hundred years ago, later inspired others to create
power- driven aeroplanes.
In India, however, the tradition of kite -flying has
not changed. Be it during the coming of Spring which
is celebrated as Basant or during the festival of Makar
Sankranti, people of all ages go out into the open to try
their luck with their kites. In towns and cities, where
open spaces are difficult to find, terraces and rooftops
are often used for this traditional sport.
In Gujarat, Makar Sankranti is kite -flying day.
Traditionally celebrated on January 13 or 14, it is
a holiday when people meet outdoors, ‘to cut’ each
other’s kites.
