Explanation:
The given statement implies that the speaker is talking about a physical attribute or characteristic that can be covered up or hidden by wearing trousers. The response of 'you' in this situation would be to try and alter the view of the speaker.
Reasoning:
Considering the options provided:
a) Tries to keep the speaker quiet: This option does not make sense in this context as there is no indication that the speaker needs to be kept quiet or silenced. The statement is simply highlighting the ability to cover up a physical attribute.
b) Tries to alter the view of the speaker: This option is the correct answer. The statement suggests that the speaker might have a negative or judgmental view towards the physical attribute being discussed. 'You' would respond by trying to change or alter the view of the speaker, possibly by explaining the reasons behind the attribute or sharing a different perspective.
c) Tries to alter the appearance of the speaker: This option does not fit the context of the statement. The speaker is not discussing altering their own appearance; rather, they are discussing the ability to cover up or hide a physical attribute with clothing.
d) None of these: This option is incorrect as 'B' is the correct answer based on the given statement and reasoning.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - 'Tries to alter the view of the speaker'.

Pranav Pillai answered |
Derry liked to be alone because of a combination of factors, including his burnt face, his inability to bear with people's comments, and his inferiority complex. These factors contributed to his preference for solitude as a means of coping with his personal struggles and finding solace within himself.
1. Burnt face:
Derry's burnt face played a significant role in his desire to be alone. The physical scars on his face made him self-conscious and insecure about his appearance. He may have felt embarrassed or ashamed of his disfigurement, leading him to withdraw from social interactions to avoid potential judgment or ridicule.
2. Inability to bear with people's comments:
Derry's burnt face also made him vulnerable to cruel comments and hurtful remarks from others. These negative experiences likely affected his self-esteem and emotional well-being, making it difficult for him to handle the opinions or reactions of people around him. As a result, he chose to isolate himself to protect his emotions from further harm.
3. Inferiority complex:
Derry's burnt face and the reactions it elicited from others may have contributed to the development of an inferiority complex. He may have felt inferior or unworthy due to his appearance, leading him to believe that he would never be accepted or valued by society. This sense of inferiority could have further reinforced his inclination for solitude, as he may have believed that being alone was better than facing rejection or feeling inadequate in the presence of others.
In summary, Derry's preference for being alone was influenced by the physical and emotional challenges he faced due to his burnt face. His desire to avoid judgment, protect his emotions, and cope with his feelings of inferiority led him to seek solace in solitude. It is important to note that each individual's reasons for preferring solitude may vary, and in Derry's case, it was a combination of his physical appearance and psychological struggles that contributed to his inclination for being alone.

Answer:
The correct answer is option 'B' i.e. 1, 2, 3.
Explanation:
The given sequence does not provide enough information about the relationship between the numbers. Therefore, we need to look for some pattern or logic that can be applied to the sequence to find the missing numbers.
- In the given sequence, we can see that the first number is missing. Therefore, we cannot infer anything from it.
- The second number is '2'. We can observe that this is the only even number in the sequence. Therefore, we can assume that the missing number is also even.
- The third number is missing. We can observe that the first two numbers are prime numbers. Therefore, we can assume that the missing number is also a prime number.
Based on the above observations, we can conclude that the missing numbers are '2' and '3'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' i.e. 1, 2, 3.

Answer:
The given quote is from the short story "Lamey-Lamb" by Anosh Irani. In this story, the protagonist is a young boy named Lamey-Lamb. He earned this nickname from the other children in his neighborhood because he had a tin leg.
Explanation:
Introduction:
- The children called the protagonist "Lamey-Lamb" because of his unique physical condition.
- The question asks for the reason behind this nickname.
He had a tin leg:
- The correct answer to the question is option 'C', which states that Lamey-Lamb had a tin leg.
- Lamey-Lamb's leg was made of tin due to a birth defect or an accident that caused him to lose his original leg.
- This disability made him stand out from the other children in the neighborhood.
Symbolism of the tin leg:
- The tin leg symbolizes Lamey-Lamb's physical difference and the challenges he faces.
- It represents his disability and the limitations it imposes on him.
- Unlike a normal leg, the tin leg is artificial and lacks the flexibility, strength, and natural appearance of a real leg.
Children's perception:
- Children often notice and react to physical differences more than adults.
- The other children in the neighborhood called Lamey-Lamb "Lamey-Lamb" because they saw his tin leg.
- They used this nickname to highlight his physical difference and draw attention to it.
Ability to hide the disability:
- The quote "But you can put on trousers and cover it up and no one sees, they don’t have to notice and stare" suggests that Lamey-Lamb can hide his tin leg by wearing trousers.
- Unlike a visible disability like having no legs or a golden leg, Lamey-Lamb's tin leg can be covered up.
- This ability to hide his disability allows him to avoid the staring and attention that often comes with having a visible physical difference.
Conclusion:
- The children called Lamey-Lamb "Lamey-Lamb" because he had a tin leg, which symbolized his physical difference.
- The tin leg was a visible reminder of his disability, and the children used the nickname to draw attention to it.
- However, Lamey-Lamb had the ability to cover up his tin leg with trousers, which allowed him to avoid unwanted attention.

Derry has one side of his face disfigured and burnt by acid. The old man has a tin leg because his real leg got blown off during the war. Apart from these physical disabilities, Derry finds signs of loneliness and disappointment in Mr Lamb's life.

Derry, a fourteen years old boy has developed inferiority complex in him because of his ugly face. He is afraid of seeing people since they look down upon him. So he has started thinking that he will do nothing in his life. Even his parents too remain worried about him. He likes to live in seclusion. Thinking the garden a suitable place, he climbs over the garden wall where he comes in contact with Mr. Lamb who has a tin leg.

Derry gets into his garden not to steal or pick up apples. He enters in it there because he likes the place and thinks it to be empty. He enters the garden by climbing over the garden wall though the gate is always open.

The lesson 'On The Face of It' aptly depicts the loneliness and sense of alienation experienced by Derry and Mr Lamb on account of disability. The actual pain and inconvenience caused by the disabilities is often much less than the sense of alienation felt by the disabled person.

Mr. Lamb is an old man who lived in a big house with a lovely and enormous garden. Due to a bomb explosion, he had lost one of his legs, and it was now replaced with a tin leg. He enjoyed talking to people and making them his friends, so he always kept his garden gates open.

The correct answer is option 'A', Derry.
In this quote, the speaker is addressing someone directly, telling them that they will look at the world, but the world itself won't look back at them. To understand who the speaker is referring to as "you," let's analyze the context of the quote.
The quote is taken from the short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene. The story revolves around a group of boys, including the main character, Trevor, who goes by the name "T." They form a gang and decide to destroy an old house owned by Mr. Thomas, who they refer to as "Old Misery."
Derry, whose real name is Mike, is one of the members of the gang and is the one being addressed as "you" in the quote. He is a quiet and thoughtful boy who often questions the actions of the gang. Derry is portrayed as being more sensitive and introspective compared to the other boys.
In this particular scene, Mr. Lamb, an old man who lives nearby, discovers the boys in the process of destroying the house. Derry hesitates and expresses his concerns about the destructive act. Mr. Lamb notices Derry's hesitation and tries to reason with him, telling him that the world is there to be looked at.
By saying, "So you will. But the world won't," Mr. Lamb is essentially telling Derry that while he may choose to look at the world and question its actions, the world itself will not reciprocate. He implies that the world remains unchanged and unaffected by individual contemplation or moral dilemmas. The world, as an entity, is indifferent to the actions and thoughts of individuals.
This quote highlights the contrast between Derry's introspection and Mr. Lamb's assertion that the world is indifferent to individual perspectives. It emphasizes the theme of moral ambiguity and the harsh realities of the world in which the story is set.

Understanding Derry's Choice of Living Arrangements
Derry's preference for vacant places to live can be attributed to multiple interconnected factors. Each aspect reflects his complex emotional and psychological state.
1. Preference for Solitude
- Derry often seeks solitude, which indicates his desire to escape social interactions.
- Living alone allows him to avoid the judgment and scrutiny of others, providing him a sense of peace.
2. Fear of People
- Derry's fear of social situations stems from his experiences with bullying and rejection.
- His physical appearance, particularly his burnt face, exacerbates this fear, leading him to avoid contact with others who might ridicule him.
3. Inferiority Complex
- Derry grapples with feelings of inferiority, which are intensified by societal perceptions of beauty and normalcy.
- His burned face creates a barrier between him and the world, fostering a deep-seated belief that he is less worthy of acceptance and love.
4. Interconnectedness of Factors
- These factors are deeply intertwined, as his fear of people is rooted in his feelings of inferiority, and his preference for solitude is a protective mechanism.
- The combination of these emotions drives Derry to continually seek isolated living spaces where he feels safe from judgment.
In summary, Derry’s choice to live in vacant places is a multifaceted response to his emotional struggles. Each reason—his desire for solitude, fear of social engagement, and feelings of inferiority—contributes to his overall sense of isolation and the need to retreat from the world around him.

Sharmila Chavan answered |
Physical impairment:
Derry and Mr. Lamb were victims of physical impairment. Derry, a young boy, was born with a deformed leg that caused him to walk with a limp, while Mr. Lamb, an elderly man, suffered from a severe case of arthritis that made it difficult for him to move around freely. Both characters faced challenges in their daily lives due to their physical impairments, which affected their mobility and independence.
Impact on daily life:
Their physical impairments had a significant impact on their daily lives. Derry struggled with feelings of self-consciousness and insecurity due to his limp, which made him the target of bullying and ridicule from his peers. Mr. Lamb, on the other hand, found it increasingly difficult to perform simple tasks like walking or climbing stairs due to his arthritis, causing him frustration and a sense of helplessness.
Struggle for acceptance:
Both Derry and Mr. Lamb faced a constant struggle for acceptance and understanding from those around them. Derry yearned to be treated like any other child, without being judged for his physical disability, while Mr. Lamb longed for companionship and support as he navigated the challenges of his advancing age and deteriorating health.
Overcoming obstacles:
Despite their physical impairments, Derry and Mr. Lamb showed resilience and strength in overcoming obstacles and adversity. Derry learned to embrace his uniqueness and found solace in his friendship with Mr. Lamb, who provided him with guidance and support. Mr. Lamb, in turn, found renewed purpose and joy in mentoring Derry and sharing his life experiences with the young boy.
In conclusion, Derry and Mr. Lamb's physical impairments served as a central theme in the story, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of individuals facing challenges related to their mobility and independence.
