Key Answers

I. Four alternatives are given below for the each of the following questions/ incomplete statements. Write the correct or the most appropriate answer: -                                                                                                  (2 x 1 = 2)
1. (c) Shanmukaananda Auditorium

2. (b) fastest runner

II. Answer the following question in 1 or 2 sentences each: -                                                                    (2 x 2 = 4)

3. For a moment, Smitha had forgotten that Ananth was very ill and not in a position to go to the concert.

4. Whenever Smita’s family came to Bombay for Aanat’s treatment they stayed in Aunt Susheela’s house. Her apartment was small but there was always room for them. By this, we can say that Aunt Susheela was a generous lady.

III. Read the given extract and answer the questions that follow: -                                                         (2 x 3 = 6)

5. (a) Smitha is considered as lucky.
(b) She is lucky because she was going to attend the music concert of Pandit Ravi Shankar, with her father. But
Anant could not go because of his ill health.

6. (a) Smitha
(b) The request was made to Pandit Ravi Shankar to come to the house and play for Anant.

IV. Answer the following question in 4 or 5 sentences each: -                                                                   (1 x 3 = 3)

7. Smita and Anant had done things together. Now Anant was ill and could not accompany Smita to the music concert. Instead of sitting home and repenting for the loss, she went to the concert with her father. She also gathered courage to request Panditji to come to her house and play for Anant. To everyone’s surprise, the maestros agreed to her request, came to her house, and played for him. It was unbelievable for everyone. Thus we can justify that ‘Where there is will, there is way’ is apt for Smita.
