    The poet in the poem “Keeping Quiet” ask to count up to 12 because this span of time would enable everyone to calm down and be ready for introspection. The 12 in the poem has a special significance, as this number is associated with many things in our lives.

    There are only twelve signs on the clock to measure hours. Therefore, the poet asks us to count till the clock measures these horns.

    The commission of enquiry decided to make refunds to the peasants.Gandhi asked for 50%. But the representative of planters offered to refund to the extent of 25%. In order to break the deadlock, Gandhiji agreed to 25 percent refund to the farmers.
    For Gandhi, it was not the money but the principles that were of utmost importance. In his belief, the submission of British landlords was more significant than the percentage of refund. He wanted the poor farmers to realise that they too had rights and that they need not really live in fear of the British landlords.
    The conflict between the British planters and the peasants changed the plight of the peasants. Within a few years, after the settlement, the British planters abandoned their estates and returned them to the peasants for goods. Thus, indigo sharecropping disappeared.

    Gandhi wanted to obtain more complete information about conditions than Shukla was capable of imparting.From Calcutta both, Gandhi and Rajkumar Shukla reached the city of Patna. He led Gandhi to the house of a lawyer, Rajendra Prasad . He was out of town. His servants knew Shukla as a poor sharecropper from Champaran who troubled Prasad to take up the cause of indigo.

    Edla was kind and good natured. She had more convincing power than her father and was able to persuade the peddler to accept the invitation. She was pained by the plight of the peddler and continued to treat him well even after the truth about his identity was revealed. Her behaviour reflects maturity and grace.

    Edla has positive values and a strong sense of observation. She brings the peddler home despite judging her guest to be a tramp. Her sympathetic attitude makes her persuade her father to let the guest stay bcuz they had promised him" Christmas cheer " . It is bcuz of her concern and compassion that the peddler redeems himself from dishonesty and undergoes a thorough transformation.

    ANSWER
    2. Summers in Alabama had always been hot. My childhood memories are filled with days spent floating in the pond, sitting on the porch swing, lying sprawled in front of any source of moving air, trying in vain to get, and stay, cool. But when I walked out of the airport, already tired from a three-hour flight that had been delayed by over half an hour, laden with suitcases and dressed for an overly air-conditioned office climate, the heat came over me like a blanket. An old, unwashed woolen blanket that had been soaked in water, allowed to dry crumpled on the floor, then resoaked and thrown at me in all of its mildewed glory. The short walk to the car-rental agency felt like a trek through the jungle; by the time I got to my rental, my shirt was soaked through in patches, my hair was limp and sticky, and my mood was foul. 3. During the hour-long drive home, I had plenty of time to think. About why I had left, about all the things I had chosen to leave behind, about the life I had built for myself far away from this world of heat and poverty and depression. Lost in my thoughts, I found myself driving up the gravel road leading to my childhood home before realized where I was. The clapboard house looked the same as it had when I had left ten years earlier, save for a slight accumulation of the junk common to front yards in this part of the world. The old tire swing still hung askew from the hickory tree, half the ropes worn away from constant use. On the porch sat a rocker that had once been my grandmother's and a watering can that looked almost as old. Parking off to the side, I grabbed my bags anxiously, trying to calm my nerves, and braced myself. 4. No one ever used the front door to the house. I remembered that, of course, and walked instead to a side door that opened onto the kitchen. The door itself was propped open to allow for whatever breeze might meander by, the screen door shut to keep out the mosquitoes, giving me a view of the room. There was the kitchen table, covered in dents and scratches but polished to a high sheen; behind and to the right, the pantry, no doubt stocked full of the jars of preserves that my mother would have been making allsummer; and straight' ahead, my mother standing at the sink. She had aged during the years of my absence. I could see it in the way she stood, slightly hunched over the sink, and in the color of her hair, pulled back as always. She had to have heard me. Coming - gravel rods announce visitors from miles away – but she showed no sign that she knew I was standing there in the doorway, debating whether or not to knock. 5. Mother? It’s me. I’m here.” Her back straightened as the replied, though she never turned or left the sink. “Come on in, and be sure to close the screen door behind you. It is been a bad year for bugs. 6. I opened the door and stepped back in time. When I had announced my plan to go away for school, she had asked me how I thought I was going to pay for it. When the holidays came around, and I told her I wasn't going to be able to come home, she didn't ask why, and when I stopped calling on a regular basis, she didn't then either. How many nights I had spent, hating her for making those decisions so hard for me? Already I could feel the anger rising, that she could act so unconcerned at my arrival, standing at the sink shelling peas. Her only daughter whom she hadn't seen for a decade. 7. As I approached the sink, ready to demand an explanation, I saw that her hands were shaking, the peas falling into the sink as much as the bowl. She looked so much older, aged even more than I had thought, in the same faded dress she'd probably worn for five years. It suddenly hit me that all that time, she hadn't called not because she didn't care, but because she did. She had never been able to leave, but I had, and she understood that I needed to strike out on my own, far from here. Now here I was, in my fancy city clothes, with my college degree and impressive job, and she didn't know what to say. I bridged the gap the only way I knew how: I rolled up my sleeves, and started to help with the peas. (A) On the basis of your understanding of this passage answer the following questions with the help of given options: (i) The narrator considers the weather in Alabama during the summer time to be: 2 (a) Humid and extremely hot. (b) Unbearably hot and miserable. (c) Cool and Breezy. (d) Pleasantly familiar. (ii) The primary purpose of the first paragraph is to: 2 (a) Describe the narrator’s transition from her life in the city to her rural childhood.

(b) Daughter reminiscing about her distant childhood in Alabama. (c) Mother remembering her daughter’s visit to the family home. (d) Mother who long to visit her adult daughter but cannot. (iv) As revealed in the passage, the mother is best described as: 2 (a) Harsh and uncompromising. (b) Uneducated yet wise. (c) Altruistic and warm. (d) Distant but caring. (v) Approaching the sink the narrator felt: 2 (a) Affection towards her mother (b) Guilt on being selfish (c) Annoyance for state of the house (d) Anger on her mother for being unconcerned (vi) Find the words in the passage which means are: 2x2=4 i.

    M. Hamel was a true French man. Teaching at Alsace for forty years, he had become a part of its people. He was an honest teacher. He did not blame his students alone for poor learning. He also held himself responsible for the same. He was very patriotic as he appealed to his countrymen to hold fast to their mother tongue to be free from the Prussians. According to him the French language was the most beautiful, the clearest and the most logical language in the world. He appealed to his countrymen to guard it and never forget it. He was emotionally attached to the school and all his students. However, he was very brave and strong. He was really sorry for not making sincere efforts to teach French to his countrymen. At the end, he became so emotional that he could not speak.

    St Anthony school Dugawar   October 17, 2016   The Editor The Tribune Chandigarh   Dear Sir   Subject: Poor drainage in the city   I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the issue of water logging in the city. During the rainy season, even a little bit of rain causes a lot of problem making life difficult for the residents.    A brief shower of rain leaves a lot of water accumulated on the main roads. It not only disrupts the smooth flow of traffic but also causes vehicles to stall, thus increasing the probability of accidents. In many parts of city, neither the roads not the potholes are visible. People on two wheelers have an extremely harrowing time, as do school children on rickshaws.   Additionally, there are a lot of health issues related to water logging. Clogged gutters cannot effectively drain out the excess water, as a result of which, sewerage can be seen floating on the roads. As reported by your newspaper, it is no coincidence that the number of patients reporting to the government hospitals increases during the rainy season.   It is rather unfortunate that such issues need to be raised because it was only last year that the municipal corporation had undertaken the task of revamping the drainage system all over the city. Despite having spent a large amount on the said project, there seems to be little difference in the state of affairs.   I request the concerned authorities to kindly address the problem and take the necessary action before the rainy season sets in next year.   Yours truly, Maneesha

    CHARACTER SKETCH OF THE RATTRAP SELLER: The protagonist and central character of the story is an unnamed man who lives as a tramp wandering the countryside and selling rattraps, which he makes out of wire in his spare time. Because he does not make enough money from this to survive, the rattrap peddler also engages in petty thievery and begging—though even with this he still wears only rags and is constantly on the verge of starvation. At the beginning of the story, the peddler is cynical and opportunistic. He has a difficult lot in life, and takes whatever he can get and trusts no one. He even steals money from the crofter after the old man offers him his hospitality. Indeed, it seems that the peddler’s only pleasure in life comes from thinking of the world as one large, cruel rattrap, and ruminating on other people he knows who have been ensnared. After experiencing true kindness from Elda Wilmansson, however, the peddler seems to change his mindset. He returns the stolen money and declares that he wants to be nice, having been freed from the “rattrap” of life by Edla’s compassion and generosity. HoPe It HeLpS yOu??

    The last lesson’ written by Alphonse Daudet narrates about the year 1870 when the Prussian forces under Bismarck attacked and captured France. The French districts of Alsace and Lorraine went into Prussian hands. The new Prussian rulers discontinued the teaching of French in the schools of these two districts The French teachers were asked to leave. Now M. Hamel could no longer stay in his school. Still he gave lesson to his students with utmost devotion and sincerity as ever. One such student of M. Hamel, Franz who dreaded French class and M. Hamel’s iron rod, came to the school that day thinking he would be punished as he had not learnt his lesson on participles. But on reaching school he found Hamel dressed in his fine Sunday clothes and the old people of the village sitting quietly on the back benches. It was due to an order from Berlin. That was the first day when he realized for the first time that how important French was for him, but it was his last lesson in French. The story depicts the pathos of the whole situation about how people feel when they don’t learn their own language. It tells us about the significance of one’s language in one’s life for the very existence of a race and how important it is to safeguard it.

Man has to confront them all the times. The harsh realities of life make living quite unpleasant and even unbearable. So he wants to escape into a wishful world.

    Grand Central Station of New York has two levels namely New Haven and Hurtford. There does not exist any Third Level. It is only the imaginary discovery of the narrator and his psychiatrist, Sam who calls it a waking dream— wish fulfilment. One night he took the subway from Grand Central Station which was faster than the bus.

    On reaching there, he went down the steps to the First Level. Then he walked down another flight of stairs to reach the second level. He got into an arched doorway and was lost in a wrong corridor. He kept in walking along the corridor which went turning left and slanting downwards. At its end, he went down short flight of stairs. Then he came out. He found himself on the third level. For a moment, he thought he had again come back to the second level. There he got surprised to see everything different from old fashioned.

    The Third Level SUMMARY: The story revolves around a 31 year old man named Charley, who experienced something weird. One day after work coming from the Subway, he reached the third level of the Grand Central station (which doesn't actually exist). He reminisces the entire experience with his psychiatrist friend Sam. Charley thought he experienced time travel and had reached somewhere in the eighteen-nineties, a time before the world saw two of its most deadliest wars. As soon as he realised what time he is in, he immediately decided to buy two tickets to Galesburg, Illinois; one for himself and the other for his wife. Unfortunately, the currency used in that Century was different. Thus, the next day he withdrew all his savings and got them converted even if it meant bearing losses. He went looking for the third level but failed to find it. It worried his wife and the psychiatrist Sam who told him that he is hallucinating in order to take refuge from reality and miseries of the modern world which is full of worry. Charley thus resorts to his stamp collection in order to distract himself when suddenly one day he finds a letter from his friend Sam who had gone missing recently. Sam wrote that he always wanted to believe in the idea of third level and now that he is there himself, he encourages Charley and Louisa to never stop looking for it. HoPe It HeLpS yOu??
