a.      Douglas refers to the incident at the Y.M.C.A. swimming pool where he almost drowned as a "misadventure." The author was about ten or eleven years old at the time and hadbarely begun to learn swimming.

b.      The peddler realised that he must not walk on the public highway with the stolen money in his pocket. He went into the woods. He kept walking without coming to the end of the wood. Then he realised that he had fallen in the rattrap.

c.       The content of the letter written by the peddler to Edla was that he was reformed by the considerate treatment given by Edla. Even after knowing that the peddler is not the captain, she treated him like a captain. He also returned the money to her which was stolen from the crofter and asked to return it back.

d.      The experience of the peddler at the manor of the Willmanssons made the peddler change his ways. Earlier he had never known a true sympathiser or well-wisher. He had no friend to steer him on the right path. Though the crofter was hospitable to him and even the ironmaster had almost offered him help, they failed to leave any impact on him. It was Edla who, through her genuine care and understanding, was finally able to change the peddler for the better.

e.      In the beginning, when he reached the third level, Charley was confused. Whatever he saw in the third level told him that he had travelled back to the past. This was confirmed when he saw The World, a newspaper of the past that was no more published.

f.        The Maharaja of Pratibandapuram was called as the Tiger King. At the time of his birth the astrologers predicted that the prince would have to die one day, and the death would come from a tiger. He, thus, got the name ‘Tiger King’.

Q.09. Answer the following question in 120-150 words:              6

            The peddler interprets the acts of kindness and hospitality shown by the crofter, the iron master and his daughter differently. He cheats the crofter as he provides him company in his loneliness and helps him pass time. ... He is touched by the kindness, care and intervention of Edla on his behalf.

When Douglas grew up, he took the help of an instructor to learn swimming. His training went on from October to April. For three months he was taken across the pool with the help of a rope. As he went under, terror filled him and his legs froze. The instructor taught him to exhale under water and inhale through raised nose. He made him kick his legs to make them relax. Then he asked him to swim. He continued swimming from April to July. Still all terror had not left. He swam two miles across Lake Wentworth and the whole length to the shore and back of Warm Lake. Then he overcame his fear of water.

Q.10. Answer the following question in 120-150 words:                6

 Within ten years the Maharaja was able to kill seventy tigers. Then the tiger population became extinct in the forests of Pratibandapuram. Then he decided to marry a girl in the royal family of a state with a large tiger population. Thus, he was able to find the required number of tigers to kill.

The modern world is full of insecurity, fear, war, worry, and stress. This is because the world has become competitive and people want to pull each other down. We fear failure. To overcome such insecurities, we must first accept that both good and bad come hand in hand. Hence, we need to create a balance between personal, professional, creative and economic spheres of life. It is important for us to spend quality time with family and friends, be creative in art, poetry or prose etc. Some sort of sport, vacations, indoor games and healthy eating all sum up to make life- stress-free and healthy. Life is all about balance.
