Compare how poets present power and control in Ozymandias and London

Both Shelley and Blake present power as destructive when it is abused. In Ozymandias, Shelley describes the ruler's “sneer of cold command”. The alliteration emphasises Ozymandias's arrogance and cruelty, suggesting that he believes he has complete control over others. However, the statement “Nothing beside remains” reveals that his power is temporary because time has destroyed his kingdom. Similarly, in London, Blake uses

 Q1: Define curricular activities

Activities that are carried out inside the classroom, in the laboratory or in the workshop according to the prescribed curriculum are called 'curricular activities'. These activities are compulsory for all students of the class. There is full involvement of the teaching staff in these activities.

Curricular activities include teaching of subject, homework, conduct of examination, evaluation, preparation of result 

Q2: Define Co-Curricular Activities

Co-Curricular

 Why is the electrical conductivity of metals very high while that of plastics is very low?

Metals: Metallic bonding leaves valence electrons delocalised as an “electron sea” (about 10²⁸–10²⁹ electrons/m³). In band theory the conduction band is partly filled or overlaps the valence band, so there is no energy gap. Electrons move freely under a small field. Conductivity is about 10⁶–10⁸ S/m.

Plastics: Atoms are held by strong covalent bonds, so all electrons are localised. The

• Process States: A process cycles through: New (created) → Ready (waiting in memory) → Running (executing instructions) → Waiting/Blocked (waiting for an event/IO) → Terminated (finished execution).
• PCB Definition: A dedicated kernel data structure containing all information about a specific process.
• 5 Essential PCB Fields:
  1. Process State: Current condition (Ready, Running, etc.).
  2. Program Counter (PC): Address of the next instruction to

Q1. Define mental health. Explain its key features.

The WHO defines mental health as a state of well-being in which a person realizes their own abilities, copes with the normal stresses of life, works productively and contributes to their community. It is more than the absence of disease.

Key features:

• Emotional well-being: the ability to experience, express and regulate feelings.
• Psychological well-being: self-acceptance, purpose in life, autonomy, positive relationships and personal growth.
• Social
