Anita Menon answered |
The poet's state of mind at that time was a 'depressive mood' as indicated by the phrase "Of a day I had rued." The phrase suggests that the poet was regretting or having a negative feeling about the day. However, the incident of the crow shaking down the dust of snow from a hemlock tree brought about a change in his mood.

Khushi Pandey answered |
Lencho wrote in his letter to God that he badly needed one hundred pesos to sow his fields again and for his family to live until the crop.
Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money; such was his confidence — but he became angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested.
Immediately, Lencho went up to the window to ask for paper and ink. On the public writing-table, he started to write, with much wrinkling of his brow, caused by the effort he had to make to express his ideas. When he finished, he went to the window to buy a stamp which he licked and then affixed to contentment satisfaction the envelope with a blow of his fist. The moment the letter fell into the mailbox the postmaster went to open it. It said: “God: Of the money that I asked for, only seventy pesos reached me. Send me the rest, since I need it very much. But don’t send it to me through the mail because the post office employees are a bunch of crooks. Lencho.”
Why was Lencho angry?
- a)Because postman lost the money
- b)Because Lencho started counting money
- c)Because he could not arrange hundred pesos
- d)Because Lencho didn’t came to collect the letter

Lencho's Faith in God
Lencho, the protagonist of the story "A Letter to God" by Gregorio Lopez y Fuentes, has complete faith in God. He believes that God is the only one who can provide him with the much-needed help.
Evidence from the Story
- In the story, Lencho writes a letter to God asking for a hundred pesos to sow his fields, as his crops have been destroyed by hail. He is confident that God will help him in his time of need.
- When the postmaster and his employees read Lencho's letter, they are amused by his innocence and faith in God. However, they decide to collect money to help him, as they are moved by his sincerity.
- Lencho receives the money from the post office, but he is disappointed to find that he has received only seventy pesos. He is convinced that the postman must have stolen the rest of the money. However, he still thanks God for sending him the money and writes another letter to God, asking him to send him the remaining thirty pesos.
- In the end, Lencho is surprised to receive another letter from God, which contains the exact amount of money he had asked for. He is overjoyed and thanks God for his kindness and generosity.
Conclusion
Lencho's complete faith in God is evident throughout the story. He believes that God is all-powerful and can help him in his time of need. Despite the obstacles he faces, he remains steadfast in his belief and is rewarded for his faith.

Explanation:
The fact that the tiger is ‘stalking the length of his cage’ tells us that he is restless.
Reasons:
- The term restless is used to describe a state in which a person or living organism is on such an extent of boredom or anxiety that they are unable to rest.
- When the tiger is kept in a cage, he is anxious to get out, as his home is the forest.
- He is habituated to move around the forest at its own free will.
- However, in the cage he gets restless, because he has nowhere else to go.
