Q.29 Douglas was determined to overcome his fear of water because this phobia had ruined his fishing trips. Moreover, he had also never

Q.30
Character of M. Hamel
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.
OR
The Iron master and his daughter,
Edla Willmanson both were agreeable and kind-hearted. However, the daughter was
kinder than her father. Unlike her father she was a better judge of the human
character. The Iron-master not only mistook the rattrap seller for an old
companion, but he also failed to see through the lies that he told him. He was
also not successful in persuading the vagabond to accompany him to his mansion. The Iron-master also lacked forbearance that her
daughter had.

Q.32 The Maharaja
of Pratibandapuram was known as ‘Tiger King’. Ten days after his birth, a renowned astrologer prophesied
that his "death comes from the Tiger." Thus he got that name.
Q.33 The
Maharaja of Pratibandapuram, Sir Jilani Jung Jung Bahadur, had many titles and
sub-names. However, he was popular as the Tiger King. The chief astrologer
foretold that his death would come from a tiger.
Crown Prince Jung Jung Bahadur grew taller and stronger each
day. An English governess took care of him and he was tutored in English by an
Englishman. When he was twenty he took the reign in his hands.
The Maharaja continued his campaign of tiger hunting with rare
single-mindedness. Within ten years he killed seventy tigers. He wanted to
marry a girl of a state which had a large tiger population so that he was able
to kill 99 tigers in all.
OR
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.
