5.Why was Mrs. Salmon so sure that the man in the dockwas the murderer?

A. Mrs. Salmon saw Adams, the man in the dock, on the steps ofMrs. Parkers house the night she was killed. She also saw

him drop the hammer with which he had killed his victim into the laurel bushes She noticed his most unforgettablefeature i.e., his bulging bloodshot eyes. No one would forgetthem even in a hurry. So Mrs. Salmon was quite sure thatthe man in the dock was the murderer.

6.Why was the accused in the Pekham murder caseacquitted?

A. The defence lawyer presented the twin of Adams, pleading

mistaken identity and confusing the witness. None of fourwitnesses (particularly Mrs. Salmon) was able to swear thatthe man she / he had seen was the accused, and not histwin brother. So Adam's, the accused, was acquitted. SinceAdam's twin had an alibi that he was with his wife at thetime of the murder, he was acquitted.

7.What happened to one of the twin brothers in the end?

A. The case was over and Adam's was acquitted. The proud Adam

twins banged out of the main door. Suddenly one of thetwins got pushed in front of a bus and was killed. He gave asqueal as his skull was smashed just as Mrs. Parkers hadbeen. The day ended thus. The end was extraordinary.

8.That extraordinary day had an extraordinary end. Howwas the endextraordinary?

6.What kind of attempts were made to separate Rex and

thenondescript dog ?

A. The owner of the non-descriptive dog with which Rex had afight threw both the dogs ten feet away.

A motorman tried to pry Rexs jaws open with a switch rod.

Finally the Oak Street Fire Department arrived to the spot and

turned on a powerful stream of water and it resulted inseparation of dogs.Posted by S.R. Prasad at 10:22 AMNo comments:

7. Fire in the forest

- NorahBurke

1.What did the Forest Department people do when theysaw the

smoke?(or) What did the forest department officialsdo to stop thefire?

A. The Forest Department people cleared the undergrowth and all

the trees and made a fire line. They lighted up the counterfire along the edge of the next fire line. Then it met theoncoming forest fire. When the two fires met, there wouldbe nothing to burn. So both fires would be extiquished.

4.There are two reasons why a landlord would give awaya part of hisland. What are they? Which of them wasacceptable to Vinoba?

A. The two reasons for which a land lord would give away a part

of his land are

1. His approach to the rich is in a spirit of loving conciliation.

2. He made landlords believe that they are blessed to give thanreceive and the gift must spring from a change of heart.

Land given from a change of heart was acceptable to Vinoba.

5.Do you think Vinoba was a true disciple of Mahatma

Gandhi?Why?

A. Vinoba lived the life of an ascetic. But he was different fromother ascetics. He resisted pride of poverty which was thesubtlest temptation of the saints. He goes on his own way calmly,never urging any one to follow his way of life. Thus Vinoba was adisciple of Mahatma Gandhi but not a blind follower.Posted by S.R. Prasad at 10:19 AMNo comments:

The beautiful white horse

9. The beautiful white horse

- WillimSaroyan

1.How didAramjustify the stealing of the horse?

A. It seemed to Aram that stealing a horse for a ride was not thesame as stealing something else, such as money. Further, itwouldnt become stealing since they hadnt offered to sellthe horse. Moreover, it wasnt stealing at all when one wascrazy about horses as he and his cousin had been. Aram,thus justified his cousins way of getting hold of a horse.
