IV. Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it. 10X1=10
The diverse riches of the sea have always played a significant role in Oman’s economy and lifestyle of her people. The nation’s fishing, industry continues to increase in importance as research into its marine life grows stronger.
An animal that is of enormous importance to the south-eastern coast of Omanis, the abalone, a shellfish has become the centre of a multimillion dollar industry. Once, abalone shellfish were brought to the surface in the hope that the soft tissue contained beautiful pearls. Today, the shellfish are caught for a different reason – restaurant menus! The fresh white shellfish has a distinctive and much admired flavour and it is the most highly valued product from Omani waters. It is fished exclusively along the shores of Dhofar.
First puc question paper with answer
This distinctive shellfish has only one shell, unlike other shellfish which have two. The shell is extremely beautiful. Light is diffracted by geometrically arranged crystals within the shell, creating a wonderful shine. The shells of several abalone can be used for decorative purposes, and to make jewellery and buttons.
Abalone live in shallow marine waters with rocky bottom conditions. Young abalone shelter in small groups, holding onto the underside of medium-sized boulders, whereas adults live grouped up to a dozen together in rocky cracks. They can only survive successfully in areas where cold, nutritious water rises from the sea bed. There, in the shallow, brightly lit conditions, the abalone shellfish live. The environmental requirements for cool water conditions are rarely met, and, as a result, the geographical occurrence and extent of abalone fisheries worldwide is extremely restricted.
The coast of Dhofar in Oman is one of the special environments that supports abalone populations. The southern shore of Oman experiences monsoon winds across the surface of the sea from April to September. As these winds skim the surface, the rich cold water from the depths of the Arabian sea can easily rise and move towards the shore.
Abalone are harvested after the monsoon period, between October and March. Fishermen dive to a depth of ten metres assisted only by a face mask and, perhaps, fins. Groups of up to ten men search the sea bed for abalone encrusted boulders and deftly remove the shells using a knife, before coming up for air. A good diver searches for large adults and will collect up to 600 specimens per day. In order to do this, the diver may have to cover an area of 100 square metres.

Myself : Father, could you tell me what makes one successful in business ?
Father : Well , son , it’s fine that you have asked . Actually there are many qualities. Initiative is one of them.
Myself : What is initiative ?
Father : Initiative is the ability to use your judgement to make decisions and to do things without needing to be told what to do . Of course, you also need capital investment.
Myself : I guess that means I must have money to put into the business .
Father : That’s right . You also must have a good business sense. This means that you have to know the market you are dealing with very well. You have to find out what the market needs. Then you have to make and package your products accordingly. You should always keep in mind that the customer is the king.
Myself : How will I know which business to invest in ?
Father : For that you will have to study the prevailing market trends . You may also consider your personal preference such as textiles or the food industry or the auto spare parts.
Myself : Thank you father . Your ideas were quite enlightening.
Father : You are welcome, son. Any time you wish to know anything about business, just ask me.
