Q1.Read the passage carefully:
Pondicherry covers a total land area of 492 Square Kilometers. The population of this town is
9, 73,829. The main languages spoken here are Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English and
French. There are four districts which comprise this territory namely Pondicherry, Karaikal,
Yanam and Mahe. The best season to visit Pondicherry is between July and February. This
town is connected by airways, by railways, and by roadways. Pondicherry is a peaceful city.
Pondicherry is referred to by names such as ‘Quintessence of French Culture’, ‘India’s Little
France’ and ‘The French Riviera of the East’. This territory was under the French rule for
nearly 281 years. Still it has the French flavor in it as one can see by the grand colonial
mansions, beautiful boulevards, and placid promenades, spellings on sign boards and
buildings, names of roads and public places. Pondicherry is a well-planned and well-built
town. This is a typical example as one can learn the way the French people gave importance
to order and flair. They are known for their rich and quality living. The French too had an eye
on the wealth and the fertility of India. Thus, the French dream of Indian empire began and
got over by establishing their supremacy in Pondicherry. The French developed an oval
shaped, lovely ‘boulevard town’ – the French quarter which was laid out in a geometric grid
pattern with straight roads intersecting at right angles. Pondicherry is a combination of
cultures. The people here speak about 55 languages. The natural beauty mesmerizes and
influences the visitors. The golden sea shores, the exclusive sunset cruises, the enchanting
moonlit dinners and the blissful lagoons have given the lovely resort a reputation of being the
most appropriate place for those in quest of a relaxed and leisurely holiday. Bicycle is the
best mode of transport for moving around and visiting the beauty of Pondicherry.

(a) The districts that make the union territory are ________________
(b) Pondicherry is also called ________________
