\n- The poet uses the word\u00a0‘stones’<\/strong>\u00a0in all stanzas in order to emphasise\u00a0her obsession with a stony garden<\/u><\/strong>.
Explanation:<\/strong>\u00a0The word \u201cstones\u201d appears in each stanza, highlighting Mrs. Jones\u2019s focus on her stone-filled garden, reflecting her obsession with its unique, stony features rather than just pride in gardening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- The poet uses imagery to describe the features of the garden that the readers\u00a0understand the garden’s peculiar nature.<\/u><\/strong>

\n\n\n\nQ.11: Irony is a literary device that emphasises the difference between what is expected and what actually happens. It often involves a situation where the outcome is the opposite of what is expected, creating a surprising or a humorous effect. For example, Mrs. Jones\u2019 excitement about her garden contrasts with the speaker\u2019s disappointment on how ordinary it is.
Identify the line(s) from the poem that display(s) situational irony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Situational irony occurs when the outcome is the opposite of what is expected. The speaker expects the \u201clovely\u201d flower to be prominent and visible, but Mrs. Jones reveals they are standing on it, creating a surprising and humorous contrast between expectation and reality. Lines from the poem that display situational irony are:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- \u201cWhere is this lovely thing?\u201d I cried.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u201cYou\u2019re standing on it,\u201d she replied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nQ.13: The title ‘A Concrete Example’ carries both literal and symbolic (metaphorical) meaning. Such word play is called a pun. A pun is a figure of speech that uses words with multiple meanings or words that sound alike but have different meanings, creating a humorous effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- I tried arguing with my pencil but it kept making sharp points. (suggests the idea of an actual sharp pencil point and strong argument points)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- My pencil and I had a disagreement but we finally got to the point. (refers to solving an argument and the pencil’s tip)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Literal meaning: It refers to an actual example made of concrete (cement).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Metaphorical meaning: It means a clear, solid, or strong example to explain something.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This wordplay makes the title humorous and memorable.
Here are a few more pun examples (like your pencil ones):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.\u00a0
(Play on the word \u201cflies\u201d –\u00a0as movement vs. insects.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n - I\u2019ve been reading a book on anti-gravity –\u00a0it\u2019s impossible to put down.\u00a0
(Pun on \u201ccan\u2019t put down\u201d {tex}\\rightarrow{\/tex}\u00a0too interesting vs. floating.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The garden\u2019s stone-dominated features, like the \u201ccrazy path,\u201d \u201crockery,\u201d and \u201csundial,\u201d suggest she enjoys unconventional and artistic garden designs, distinct from traditional gardens with plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- True, The garden\u2019s unique stone features and tiny plants reflect Mrs. Jones\u2019s peculiar personality and unconventional taste, revealing her character through her gardening style.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The poet means a winding, unusual path made of stones that is not straight or typical. The term \u201ccrazy path\u201d uses vivid imagery to describe a twisting, unconventional stone path, emphasizing the garden\u2019s peculiar and artistic design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A. She has a fascination with unusual items,\u00a0<\/strong>The \u201csundial with a strange device,\u201d which Mrs. Jones finds \u201crather nice,\u201d suggests she enjoys peculiar and unusual items, aligning with her unique garden style, not traditional, indifferent, or modern preferences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nQ.15: How does Mrs. Jones feel about her garden? Support your answer with evidence from the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Jones feels proud and fond of her garden. The poem states she thinks the sundial\u2019s \u201cstrange device\u201d is \u201crather nice\u201d and invites the speaker to see her stones, showing her enthusiasm. Her positive description of the sundial and her invitation to the speaker highlight her pride and affection for her unique stone garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nQ.16: Why do you think the speaker describes the plants as being so small that they could be planted with a \u2018pin\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speaker describes the plants as so small to exaggerate their tiny size, humorously suggesting they are insignificant and hard to plant. The line \u201cunless she plants them with a pin\u201d uses hyperbole to emphasize the delicate, tiny nature of the plants, contrasting with the large stones and adding humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nQ.17: What do we get to know about Mrs. Jones based on her gardening style and her interaction with the speaker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Jones is peculiar, enthusiastic, and values her unique garden. Her interaction, where she calmly says, \u201cYou\u2019re standing on it,\u201d shows her gentle humor and patience. Her stone-filled garden with tiny plants and her pride in showing it to the speaker reveal her unconventional taste, while her calm response reflects a kind, humorous personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nQ.18: The poem portrays Mrs. Jones in a positive light. Support this statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The poem portrays Mrs. Jones positively by showing her enthusiasm for her unique garden and her gentle humor when the speaker steps on her flower. Her pride in the \u201crather nice\u201d sundial and her patient, humorous reply, \u201cYou\u2019re standing on it,\u201d present her as likable and good-natured, not upset by the mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nQ.19: What does the poem tell us about the way people think differently about the world around them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The poem shows that people have different perspectives, as Mrs. Jones values her tiny plants and stone garden, while the speaker sees the plants as insignificant. The contrast between Mrs. Jones\u2019s pride in her \u201cdelicate\u201d plants and the speaker\u2019s view that they \u201cdon\u2019t mean anything at all\u201d highlights how people perceive the same things differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her garden includes a peculiar crazy path<\/u><\/strong>, a pond, and a rockery, along with an unusual sundial<\/strong> that she finds charming. Mrs. Jones plants tiny delicate<\/u><\/strong> plants between the stones, which the speaker thinks must be so small that they are planted with a pin<\/u><\/strong>. One day, Mrs. Jones invites the speaker to see her garden, and they discuss a flower<\/u><\/strong> that Mrs. Jones treasures. When the speaker asks where the lovely<\/u><\/strong> flower is, Mrs. Jones says that the speaker has been standing<\/u><\/strong> on it all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.5: The tone of the poem is<\/p>\n\n\n\n Options: (i), (ii), and (iii) (i), (ii), and (v) (ii), (iii), and (iv) (ii), (iv), and (v) \u2705<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poem\u2019s tone is humorous (ii), amusing (iv), and light-hearted (v), as it playfully describes Mrs. Jones\u2019s peculiar garden and the speaker\u2019s funny mistake of stepping on the flower. It is not mocking (i) or mournful (iii), as the tone is gentle and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.6: According to the poem ‘A Concrete Example’- The speaker in the poem is<\/p>\n\n\n\n Options: Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The speaker is the poet, Reginald Arkell, who uses the first-person \u201cI\u201d to narrate their visit to Mrs. Jones\u2019s garden and their humorous interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.7: According to the poem ‘A Concrete Example’- The rhyme scheme of the poem is ________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Options: Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poem\u2019s rhyme scheme is AABBCC, with each stanza having six lines where the first two rhyme (e.g., \u201cJones\/stones\u201d), the next two rhyme (e.g., \u201cpond\/beyond\u201d), and the last two rhyme (e.g., \u201cdevice\/nice\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.8: Complete the following sentences by choosing the correct answer given in the brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.9: Pick examples of alliteration from the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alliteration means when the same sound is repeated at the beginning of nearby words. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the examples of alliteration in the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.10: A refrain is a repeated line or phrase that appears in each stanza. Identify the refrain from the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy next-door neighbour, Mrs. Jones\u201d. This line is repeated at the start of each stanza (lines 1, 7, 13), serving as a refrain that emphasizes Mrs. Jones\u2019s central role and her unique garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.11: Irony is a literary device that emphasises the difference between what is expected and what actually happens. It often involves a situation where the outcome is the opposite of what is expected, creating a surprising or a humorous effect. For example, Mrs. Jones\u2019 excitement about her garden contrasts with the speaker\u2019s disappointment on how ordinary it is. Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Situational irony occurs when the outcome is the opposite of what is expected. The speaker expects the \u201clovely\u201d flower to be prominent and visible, but Mrs. Jones reveals they are standing on it, creating a surprising and humorous contrast between expectation and reality. Lines from the poem that display situational irony are:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.12: Complete the following sentences appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.13: The title ‘A Concrete Example’ carries both literal and symbolic (metaphorical) meaning. Such word play is called a pun. A pun is a figure of speech that uses words with multiple meanings or words that sound alike but have different meanings, creating a humorous effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This wordplay makes the title humorous and memorable. Q.14: Read the given extract and answer the questions that follow.<\/strong> Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.15: How does Mrs. Jones feel about her garden? Support your answer with evidence from the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mrs. Jones feels proud and fond of her garden. The poem states she thinks the sundial\u2019s \u201cstrange device\u201d is \u201crather nice\u201d and invites the speaker to see her stones, showing her enthusiasm. Her positive description of the sundial and her invitation to the speaker highlight her pride and affection for her unique stone garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.16: Why do you think the speaker describes the plants as being so small that they could be planted with a \u2018pin\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The speaker describes the plants as so small to exaggerate their tiny size, humorously suggesting they are insignificant and hard to plant. The line \u201cunless she plants them with a pin\u201d uses hyperbole to emphasize the delicate, tiny nature of the plants, contrasting with the large stones and adding humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.17: What do we get to know about Mrs. Jones based on her gardening style and her interaction with the speaker?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mrs. Jones is peculiar, enthusiastic, and values her unique garden. Her interaction, where she calmly says, \u201cYou\u2019re standing on it,\u201d shows her gentle humor and patience. Her stone-filled garden with tiny plants and her pride in showing it to the speaker reveal her unconventional taste, while her calm response reflects a kind, humorous personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.18: The poem portrays Mrs. Jones in a positive light. Support this statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poem portrays Mrs. Jones positively by showing her enthusiasm for her unique garden and her gentle humor when the speaker steps on her flower. Her pride in the \u201crather nice\u201d sundial and her patient, humorous reply, \u201cYou\u2019re standing on it,\u201d present her as likable and good-natured, not upset by the mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.19: What does the poem tell us about the way people think differently about the world around them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poem shows that people have different perspectives, as Mrs. Jones values her tiny plants and stone garden, while the speaker sees the plants as insignificant. The contrast between Mrs. Jones\u2019s pride in her \u201cdelicate\u201d plants and the speaker\u2019s view that they \u201cdon\u2019t mean anything at all\u201d highlights how people perceive the same things differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.20: Select the appropriate word from the brackets that correctly replaces the underlined word in the sentences from the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.21: The \u2018sundial\u2019 is referred to as a \u2018device\u2019 in the poem. Work in pairs to infer the meaning of \u2018device\u2019. Share your thoughts with your classmates and teacher. Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the poem, a \u201cdevice\u201d refers to a tool or object designed for a specific purpose, here the sundial, which uses the sun\u2019s shadow to tell time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.22: Complete the table by making new words in Column 1 using the hints given in Column 2. Replace the first letter of the given word to create new words. One example has been done for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.23: The speaker of the poem might have felt sorry for stepping on Mrs. Jones’ flower. When we make a mistake, we must express regret and apologise for our actions.\u00a0 Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The speaker of the poem might have felt sorry for stepping on Mrs. Jones’s flower, and we should express regret when we make mistakes. Below are apologies and responses for the given situations using informal language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (i) You have eaten your brother’s share of sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (ii) You have broken your sister’s flower craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (iii) You accidentally spilled ink on your mother’s important documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (iv) You forgot to bring your friend’s notebook to school after borrowing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q.24: When we apologise to someone in authority like a Principal or a teacher in a formal setting, we use formal language.
