  1. Read the following passage and answer questions on it: [16] “A small step, but a big leap for mankind” were the memorable words the whole world, waiting with bated breath, heard from Neil Armstrong as he placed his foot on the surface of the moon on 21 July, 1969. This epoch-making event was the culmination of man’s attempt to probe into space and reach the nearest neighbour of the earth, the moon. This was the eleventh in the Apollo series of manned flights into space, planned and executed by the united Sates of America. The flight had three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins. As the spacecraft reached close to the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin entered the landing vehicle , “Eagle” which then separated from the mothership. As the third astronaut Collins was orbiting in the mothership, Eagle went down and touched down on the moon’s surface which took the project to its climax. As Edwin Aldrin was operating the camera, Armstrong stepped onto the cold, shining, new world and then uttered those words which are echoing even today in the memories of men even today. This was a truly outstanding achievement of man in the realm of space exploration and satellite launching which generated world-wide acclaim.

(a) What is the meaning of the words “bated breath”? (b) Explain what is meant by “leap for mankind” (c) What is the name of the space probe mentioned? (d) What was the role of the Eagle in this great event? (e) Who is an astronaut? (f) Give the meaning of “epoch-making” (g) Mention the name of the second man to step on the moon. (h) What is the name of the space probe launched by the USA?
