• (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. Explanation: The term Old Regime is usually used to describe the society and institutions of France before 1789. In this regime, the monarch did not have the power to impose taxes according to his will alone. He had to call a meeting of the Estates-General (a political body) which would then pass his proposals for new taxes. The population of France rose rapidly between 1715 and 1789 which led to a rapid increase in the demand for foodgrains. Due to lack of supply to meet this demand, the prices of bread which was the staple diet of the majority rose rapidly. Most workers had fixed their wages which did not keep pace with the rising prices. The gap between the poor and the rich widened. Things became worse whenever drought or hail reduced the harvest. This led to a subsistence crisis , something that occurred frequently in France during the Old Regime. To practice more questions & prepare well for exams, download  myCBSEguide App .

• Buffer stock refers to a reserve of a commodity that is used to offset price fluctuations and unforeseen emergencies. Buffer stock is generally maintained for essential commodities and necessities like foodgrains, pulses etc. The concept of buffer stock was first introduced during the 4th Five Year Plan 1969-74. It ensures the continuous supply of commodities to fair priced shops. It is the stock of a country which can be used during any calamity. It helps a farmer to sell their surplus crop at a respectable price. Teachers can use  Examin8 App  to create similar papers with their own name and logo.
• The Bolsheviks nationalised industries and banks. A process of centralised planning was introduced. Officials assessed the condition of the economy and made the Five Year plans on its basis.
• The government fixed all prices to promote industrial growth during the first two Five Year Plans. It led to economic growth and an increase in industrial production, with new industrial cities coming into being.
• Stalin introduced a collectivisation programme, under which the peasants were forced to cultivate in collective farms (Kolkoz) and the government fixed the prices of grains sold to it.
• Development is related to occupational structure of the population. Countries are less developed where a higher percentage of population is engaged in primary occupations like agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fishing. As development takes place more people move into secondary occupations like manufacturing. In highly developed societies, there are a high percentage of people involved in tertiary occupations like banking, commerce, transport and administration.

After completion, the term of all the elected representatives comes to an end. Elections are held in all constituencies at the same time either on the same day or within a few days.
• In a democracy, all political institutions are formed or the welfare of the people. But sometimes, the actions of the government or a law passed by the government might hurt the public interest or might be against the spirit of the Constitution. In such cases, citizens have the right to go to court to get justice. Such cases are called Public Interest Litigations (PILs). In case of a violation of Fundamental Rights by the government, the citizen can go to the courts for justice. Then the courts intervene to prevent the misuse of power by the government.

Section D (Solution)

• By sharing of power, Montesquieu suggested that the power should be shared by the government and its organs the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary. This arrangement refuted the absolute rights of the king.
• He talked about equality and suggested that there should be no special privilege given to the people of first and second estates, i.e. the clergy and nobility. Everybody in the country should enjoy equal status.
• Montesquieu opposed the theory of ‘Divine Rights of the King’.His concept of separation of powers is a pre-requisite to eliminate corruption from the administration. According to him, it was a great instrument against the despotic rule of the French emperor which established the power of the common man. Montesquieu believed that all powers should not be concentrated in the hands of a single person, rather should be divided among common people. He stressed individual liberty of a common man.

Subsistence crisis can be defined as an extreme situation where the basic means of livelihood are endangered. During the Old Regime, France faced the ‘subsistence crisis’ because:

• The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789 which led to a rapid increase in the demand of food grains and the production of grains could not keep pace with the increasing demand of the growing people, as a result, the prices of essential commodities increased.
• Most of the workers got fixed wages and could not keep pace with the rising prices of products of daily use, as a result, the gap between the poor and rich increased.
• Things became worse when drought or hail almost destroyed and reduced the harvest resulting in a shortage of food grains.
• There will be a change in the landscape.
• The fauna and flora will be disturbed.

Unemployment exists when people who are willing to work do not get work at the going wages. Two types of unemployment found in India are:

• Seasonal unemployment: ISeasonal unemployment happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year. People dependant upon agriculture usually face such kind of problem. There are certain busy seasons when sowing, harvesting, weeding, threshing is done. Certain months do not provide much work to the people dependant on agriculture.
• Disguised unemployment: This occurs when all the members of a family of a small farmer are working in the fields, but all may not be required. Similar is the case of family-owned shops, where all family members may be working at the shop, but all are not required. Actually, they are working at less than full productivity.

• India has experience of long colonial past and it remained a victim of colonial exploitations for centuries. But, after the implementation of the Constitution, we are sovereign which means no external powers can regulate us in any matters.
• The Constitution of India has a flexible nature that opens enough scope for amendments if required for the welfare of its citizens. To maintain law and order, the dignity and rights of the citizens, the Constitution made some provisions for the amendment from time to time.

Class 9 Social Science Sample Paper - Tips To Score High Marks

1. A lot can be achieved for subjects like history, civics and geography, just by understanding the details right. While studying for the exam, prepare precise notes for all dates, phrases, topic-specific terms and definitions. Revise with these whenever you are done preparing for a chapter or wish to take a break from memorizing things. This way you will find them easy to remember in the exam.

2. To score more in descriptive answers like important events in History,  various processes in Civics and natural procedures in Geography, you will need to write notes of important terminology and various definitions. While writing these answers, make sure you fit in relevant terms to give your answers an extra edge over others and score more marks.

3. Avoid writing large paragraphs for lengthy answers. Instead, write down lengthy answers in the form of bulletin points. This way, not only can you avoid the pain of having to learn big paragraphs, but you can also easily remember them by just remembering a few related keywords.

4. Adjust and allot time appropriately for every question while writing the answers in the exam. One proper look at the question paper is required to judge how much time it is going to take you to comfortably finish writing. You can choose to finish the short answers before and then go ahead to the longer ones or you may want to answer the longer ones before you head on to the shorter ones, wanting to give it more time to write elaborate answers.

5. Avoid writing to fill pages unnecessarily. Do not write irrelevant things when you are unable to remember the correct answers. Doing this will only make the answer paper reader irritated. Write down all the important things that you remember and move on to answer things you remember better.

6. Do not forget to read and revise once you have completed the entire paper. Try to find some time for revising even if it is not available all the time. You might come across any missing dates, terms or facts that you might have forgotten to mention earlier. All these can help you make your answers more complete and get more marks. Any grammatical errors that you would have made in haste can be made correct, as these can result in deduced marks.

7. Any kind of special words or underlined text holds the examiner's attention quickly and can help you get extra marks. Therefore always highlight any specific points in your answer. But be smart while inferring what lines and words need to be highlighted. Unnecessary chaos on the pages tends to work against your intentions too sometimes.

8. Keep a separate note for all the dates and events and memorize it by heart. Make sure to revise it daily. Dates, wars, places, regions are what is asked in the objective-type questions.

9. Go through the question paper at once and then start answering what you know first. While answering the questions, make sure you do not exceed the word limit. Keep your answer brief, to the point and well-formatted. Learn to use columns, tables, diagrams, wherever necessary.

10. Maps are important for students in Geography. Students are advised to learn and practice in all the important places and regions. Students may lose a mark if they do not follow the right guidelines of map marking, hence they must go through them priorly.

11. Read the chapter twice and thrice to gain even the slightest point from the chapter. This way you can pace for your objective type question preparation.

12. If you practice every question from the sample question paper for Class 9 Social Science then you will be well equipped with most of the topics from the syllabus. Once you have grabbed good confidence in the subject, you can redo the chapter for revision.

13. You can go through the previous year's question papers for Class 9 Social Science CBSE from Vedantu. That would help you get an idea about the questions that come often and what are the must-do chapters.
