Q. (16-18) Write answers in 20-30 words. (VSA).

Q. (16) Why was Saheb not happy working at the tea- stall? Explain

Answer. Saheb was fond of tennis, and he used to go to the club to watch the playing boys. After some time, Saheb starts working at a tea stall where he was earning 800 rupees, but he was not happy as he was no longer his own master.

Q. (17) What does “The Third Level” refer to in the story ?

Ans. Jack Finney is the author of The Third Level. The author addresses the human nature of running away from a problem and seeking solace in an imaginary world in The Third Level. The author or narrator of The Third Level creates a character named Charley who wishes to escape the problems in his life and travel to an imaginary world known as the third level. There are generally two levels: the ground level and the basement. The third level refers to a means of escape from the modern world’s problems. We call it escapism.
Q. (18) Who is the Tiger King? Why does he get that name? (SAT, JULY 2019, PRE-BOARD 2020)

The Tiger King was the king of Pratibandapuram. His real name was Jang Jang Bahadur. He got this name because he had killed so many innocent tigers in different states. The author gave this name to the king to prove the feudal attitude of kings towards wild animals. The astrologer declared that one day they would die. The small child asked the chief astrologer to disclose the way the death would come. The astrologer was surprised to hear this and replied that the death would come from a tiger. The young prince growled and warned, “Let tigers be aware!” Therefore, he decided to kill a hundred tigers and got the name “The Tiger King.”

Q.(19-21) Write answer in 30-40 words.

Q. (19) Who is Dr. Sadao Hoki? Where did he live?

Ans. Dr. Sadao was an eminent surgeon and a scientist. Sadao’s house was located on the Japanese coast. He lived there with his wife, Hana, and two children, as well as his servant. He did not want to treat him, but his medical profession required him to do so. As a doctor, it was his responsibility to save lives first, regardless of the person’s identity. The general summoned Sadao and ordered him to murder the American soldier. It did not occur. Sadao assisted the soldier in fleeing in a boat. As a result, we think the doctor’s final solution to the problem was the best possible one in the circumstances.

Q. (20) Why was Saheb not happy working at the tea- stall? Explain.

Answer.  “Garbage to them is gold”. They make both ends meet by collecting garbage. Children had a different angel for collecting garbage. “I sometimes find a rupee, even a ten-rupee note.” After some time, Saheb starts working at a tea stall where he was earning 800 rupees, but he was not happy as he was no longer his own master. The tin was very heavy, and he was not the master of his will and was compelled to work at fixed hours.

Q. (21) What is the theme of the poem ” An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum” ?

Ans. Stephen Spender, a poet, discusses the injustice and inequality in our educational system. In the school system, social justice reigns supreme. Students in slum schools face discrimination in a variety of ways. The infrastructure of slum schools is deteriorating.

The poet describes the differences in schools, and students in slum schools are extremely poor and physically weak. Their eyes are like rats’ eyes, which indicates that they are physically very weak. The girls’ bodies are frail, and their necks are unable to support the weight of their heads. The rooms are dark and lack natural light. Their gaze is constantly drawn to dreams that cannot be realised under these conditions. Rich people live and move in a comfortable city. They simply donate something to such schools and are unconcerned about the future of students in slum schools.

As a result, the future of students in such schools is as bleak and dim as the light in their classrooms. They also have the right to move freely in open spaces to enjoy the sun and nature. The sun is a symbol of progress, and these students deserve to have the sun in their lives as well.
