(Very short answer type question)
11. "In front of the child she would never lie" What

Ans.
It exhibits that she was suffering from duality in dealing with her all
affairs. Perhaps, she considers her son a lamb like pet animal. She wants to
see an ideal development of her son's personality but under cover and not under
the sun at its prime. She is a swindler in reality.

Ancient India.

negative value?
Ans.
Amartya Sen sees argumentation as a positive value. In every part of this
essay, he talks about positive aspects of dialogue and discussions. He talks
about positive effects of this culture, on the way democracy is being practised
in modern India.
14. Why does the poet in "Time and time Again" state
the city as old managed city?
Ans.
The term "Old" refers to vices like prejudices, inequality,
discrimination, stereotype etc. The city has been referred to society in its
largest form ie nation. The ailing society with infection of these malaises is
because it does not want to accept reforms, amendments or measures time to time
felt necessary by contemporary scholars. Orthodox, these people are, the poet
says categorically. The missionaries, in that state of ignorance adopt
"divide and rule" tactics.
(Long answer type question)
SECTION-D (2 × 5 = 10)
15. What was the conflict between the mother and the son?
Ans.
It is because he has understood the double deal or cheat of his mother. When h

height 1.11 mt. instead of 1.10 mt. Thus, an image of liar, swindler,
argumentative, rude, rustic and quarrel some had put its crown in his innocent
mind for his mother. He raised brows, tripped and started racing away from his
mother.
