The afternoon was hot and so was (a) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 railway carriage. (b) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 next stop was at Templecombe, nearly (c) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. hour ahead. In the carriage were a small girl, (d) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. smaller girl, and a small boy.

Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n The afternoon was hot and so was (a) the<\/strong> railway carriage. (b) The<\/strong> next stop was at Templecombe, nearly (c) an<\/strong> hour ahead. In the carriage were a small girl, (d) a<\/strong> smaller girl, and a small boy. (e) An<\/strong> aunt responsible for (f) the<\/strong> children sat in (g) a<\/strong> corner seat, and in (h) a<\/strong> further corner seat on (i) the<\/strong> opposite side, was a man who was a stranger to them, but (j) the<\/strong> small girls and the small boy were (k) the<\/strong> ones who filled the compartment. The children chatted on and on with their aunt, like (l) the<\/strong> houseflies which refuse to be put off. Most of the aunt\u2019s remarks seemed to begin with \u2018Don\u2019t\u2019 and nearly all of (m) the<\/strong> children\u2019s remarks began with \u2018Why?\u2019<\/p>\n 1.1 Answer the following questions<\/p>\n (a) Where were the characters at the time of narration?<\/p>\n (b) Who was travelling with the aunt?<\/p>\n (c) How did the children pass their time?<\/p>\n (d) How long would they take to reach Templecombe?<\/p>\n (e) How does the aunt respond to the children\u2019s antics? Elucidate<\/p>\n Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n (a) The characters were in a railway carriage at the time of narration.<\/p>\n (b) Two small girls and a small boy were traveling with the aunt.<\/p>\n (c) The children chatted on and on with their aunt and thus they passed their time.<\/p>\n (d) They would take nearly an hour to reach Templecombe.<\/p>\n (e) The children kept chatting with their aunt throughout the journey and she spent most of her time trying to stop or discourage them. we can guess this from the sentence that most of the time her remarks began with \u2018Don\u2019t\u2019.<\/p>\n 2.1 Please refer workbook pages 22 and 23 for the question and the map.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is very little cloud cover at the moment. I can see (1) India right below me. (2) The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are clearly visible, and of course there is (3) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. to the south. I can see where (4) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. flows into (5) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. A little higher are the glistening snows of (6) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 but I can\u2019t see (7) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 itself. I can just make out (8) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. to the west. I\u2019m passing over, (9) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. right now. To the north, I can just see (10) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 in the centre of the vast expanse of (11) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. In the far north, the ice of (12) \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 is clearly visible.<\/p>\n Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n There is very little cloud cover at the moment.

\nAs the woman stirred the meat in (e) the \/ her<\/strong> copper cooking pot, she smelled the rich steam and could not resist tasting (f) some<\/strong> of the meat and soup to see if it was soft and tasty.
