Explanation:
1. Sadao and Hana found a wounded soldier:

- They decided to take him in and hide him in their house.
2. The potential consequences of hiding the soldier:
- Hiding the wounded soldier in their house would put all of them in danger.
- The soldiers in the area were searching for the wounded soldier, and if they were to find out that Sadao and Hana were hiding him, they would be considered traitors and could face severe consequences.
3. Fear of police suspicion:
- Sadao and Hana were well aware that harboring the enemy soldier would arouse suspicion from the police and the authorities.
- They knew that if they were caught, it would not only bring trouble upon themselves but also their family and servants.
4. The risk to their safety:
- By keeping the wounded soldier in their house, Sadao and Hana were risking their own safety as well as the safety of their family.

They were aware of the potential risks, including police suspicion and the severe consequences they could face if caught. Their decision to hide the soldier was driven by compassion but also carried significant risks to their own safety and the well-being of their family.

Srishti Chavan answered |
The correct answer to the question is option 'C': the servants in Sadao's household were very critical of him. Let's delve into the details to understand why this is the correct answer.
1. Sadao's Background:
Sadao is a wealthy Japanese doctor who lives in a small coastal village. He studied medicine in America and returned to Japan to work as a surgeon. Despite his high social status, Sadao is shown as a compassionate and caring individual.
2. The Servants' Perspective:
The story depicts the servants in Sadao's household as individuals who strongly disapprove of their master's actions. They believe that Sadao's kindness towards the injured American soldier, who washes ashore near their house, is a betrayal of their country and its values. The servants express their criticism openly and vocally, questioning Sadao's loyalty to Japan.
3. Conflict of Loyalties:
The servants' critical attitude towards Sadao stems from their deep-rooted nationalism and loyalty to their country. They view Sadao's decision to help the enemy soldier as a direct defiance of their national identity. Their loyalty to Japan overshadows any gratitude or appreciation they may have towards their master for his kindness and medical expertise.
4. Cultural Context:
To fully understand the servants' perspective, it is important to consider the historical and cultural context of the story. "The Enemy" is set during World War II, a time when Japan was at war with America. The Japanese people were heavily influenced by nationalist propaganda, which emphasized the importance of loyalty and patriotism.
5. Limited Character Development:
It is worth noting that the story does not provide extensive character development for the servants. They are depicted as a collective representation of the general attitude prevalent in Japanese society during the war. Sadao's wife, Hana, is the only character who challenges the servants' critical stance and supports her husband's decision to help the wounded soldier.
In conclusion, the correct answer 'C' reflects the servants' critical attitude towards Sadao due to their strong nationalist beliefs and loyalty to Japan during a time of war.

Heading: Calculation of the price of the parrot
- The shopkeeper sold the parrot to the Tiger King.
- The price of the parrot is given in rupees.
- The options provided are 30, 60, 120, and 300 rupees.
- The correct answer is option 'D', which is 300 rupees.
Explanation:
- The story "The Tiger King" by Kalki revolves around the life of a king who is passionate about hunting tigers. In the story, the king purchases a parrot from a shopkeeper.
- The price of the parrot is not explicitly mentioned in the story. However, the options provided in the question help us to calculate the price based on the context of the story.
- It is evident that the parrot is not an ordinary one. It is said to be a talking parrot that can mimic the voice of anyone. Hence, it is reasonable to assume that it is a valuable bird.
- The options provided in the question are 30, 60, 120, and 300 rupees. It is unlikely that a rare and valuable bird like the talking parrot can be sold for such low prices.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', which is 300 rupees. This price seems reasonable for a bird with such unique abilities.

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 Maharaja doubled the land tax in his rage when he could not find the 100th tiger. He was furious about the disappearance of sheep in the village (which had suggested a tiger’s presence) but when the tiger could not be found, his anger and obstinacy mounted so high that he ordered the Dewan to double the tax immediately.

Jhanvi Sengupta answered |
Explanation:
Situation: Sadao removed the bullet from close to soldiers.
Solution: Sadao's expertise as a surgeon helped him remove the bullet from close to the soldier's kidney.
Reasoning:
Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer.
Situation: Sadao removed the bullet from close to soldiers.
Solution: Sadao's expertise as a surgeon helped him remove the bullet from close to the soldier's kidney.
Reasoning:
- When a bullet enters the body, it causes damage to the organs it passes through.
- The location of the bullet in the body can determine which organ has been affected.
- The heart, liver, lungs, and kidney are all vital organs that can be affected by a bullet wound.
- The proximity of the bullet to the organ can also determine the severity of the damage.
- In this case, the bullet was close to the soldier's kidney, which could have caused severe damage if not removed immediately.
- Sadao's experience as a surgeon enabled him to locate the bullet accurately and remove it without causing further damage to the kidney or other organs.
- The successful removal of the bullet from the soldier's kidney helped save his life.
Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer.

Athul Patel answered |
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'.

Although the loneliness of Derry dominates the play, there are evident traces of Mr. Lamb’s loneliness throughout the first scene of the play. The old man says that having heard the bees for a “long time” he knows that they “sing”, not buzz. It not only depicts how his perception was different from others but also illustrates that he was lonely and that he did not have any one to be with. Another evidence of his loneliness is the fact that whole day he sat in the sun and read books. This proves that books were his only true friends. He says that his “empty house” is full of books, underlining the way in which the void of his empty life was filled in by books.

Gowri Menon answered |
The unusual thing that the narrator sees at the Grand Central Station is the third level.
Explanation:
Heading: The Setting
The Grand Central Station is a major transportation hub in New York City. It is a busy place where people come and go, catching trains or buses to various destinations. The narrator is also present at the station, watching the hustle and bustle of the people around him.
Heading: The Unusual Thing
As the narrator observes his surroundings, he notices something unusual - a third level in the station. This is unexpected because he had never seen or heard of it before. He describes it as "a whole secret city" above the regular station.
Heading: The Details
The narrator provides some details about the third level, such as the fact that it has a bar with a view of the main concourse, a tennis court, and even a movie theater. He also mentions that it is not accessible to the general public and seems to be reserved for the wealthy and privileged.
Heading: The Significance
The discovery of the third level is significant because it reveals a hidden side of the Grand Central Station that is not visible to everyone. It also highlights the class divide and the inequality that exists in society. The fact that only a select few have access to this exclusive space suggests that some people have more power and privilege than others.
In conclusion, the narrator's observation of the third level at the Grand Central Station is an unexpected and fascinating discovery that sheds light on the hidden aspects of the station and the inequalities that exist in society.

In conclusion, the narrator's observation of the third level at the Grand Central Station is an unexpected and fascinating discovery that sheds light on the hidden aspects of the station and the inequalities that exist in society.

Mansi Nair answered |
The correct answer is option 'A': Sadao was very skilled.
Explanation:
Sadao was the only surgeon in Japan with the necessary skills and expertise to perform the complex surgery that the General required. Here is a detailed explanation of why Sadao's exceptional skills were the primary reason why the General wanted him to operate:
1. Sadao's expertise and experience:
- Sadao was a highly skilled and renowned surgeon who had spent many years studying and practicing medicine.
- He had obtained his medical education from prestigious institutions both in Japan and abroad, which had provided him with a comprehensive understanding of advanced surgical techniques.
- Sadao's reputation as a skilled surgeon was well-known, and he had successfully performed numerous complex surgeries throughout his career.
2. The complexity of the General's condition:
- The General's condition necessitated a surgery that required specialized knowledge and expertise.
- It is implied in the question that no other doctor could match Sadao's skills, indicating that the surgery was highly intricate and required exceptional surgical abilities.
- The General's life was at stake, and it was crucial to have the best surgeon available to ensure the highest chances of success.
3. Lack of other suitable options:
- The question states that the General did not like any other doctor, suggesting that Sadao was the only surgeon the General trusted.
- Going abroad for surgery would have been a time-consuming and risky option, as it would have involved traveling in the midst of a war, potentially delaying the surgery and increasing the General's vulnerability.
- By choosing Sadao, the General could ensure that the surgery would be conducted promptly and with the utmost care, without having to depend on unfamiliar doctors or facilities.
In conclusion, the General's decision to have Sadao operate on him was primarily based on Sadao's exceptional surgical skills and expertise. The complexity of the General's condition and the lack of other suitable options made Sadao the most reliable and qualified choice for the surgery.

Advait Ghosh answered |
Possible answer:
The servants refused to help the American Soldier due to a combination of fears and superstitions. Let's examine each factor in more detail.
Fears:
- The British Raj, which controlled India during World War II, had strict rules about fraternizing with enemy soldiers.
- The Indian caste system also placed limits on who could touch or serve whom, reinforcing social hierarchies that were based on birth rather than merit.
- The soldiers themselves were often seen as intimidating figures, with guns, uniforms, and unfamiliar languages and customs.
- The servants may have been afraid of being punished or ostracized if they were caught aiding a foreigner, especially one who was wounded or ill.
- They may have also feared for their own safety, as the war created widespread disruption and violence in many parts of India.
Superstitions:
- India has a rich and diverse tradition of religious and folk beliefs that can shape people's attitudes and actions.
- Some superstitions may have led the servants to believe that helping a wounded or sick person could bring bad luck or evil spirits into their homes.
- For example, the soldier's blood, sweat, or breath may have been seen as contaminated or polluting.
- Similarly, touching a foreigner's belongings or body parts could violate taboos related to purity or hygiene.
- Some superstitions may have also reinforced prejudices against certain groups, such as Americans, who were seen as outsiders or aggressors.
Overall, the combination of fears and superstitions likely contributed to the servants' refusal to help the American Soldier. However, it's worth noting that not all Indians shared these views, and many risked their lives to assist Allied troops during the war. The story of the soldier and the servants highlights the complex and diverse nature of Indian society during a tumultuous period in history.

Derry’s face was burnt by acid on one side. When people saw Derry’s acid burnt face they tried to console him by telling him fairy tales. They said that it was not important what he looked like. Derry knew that people lied and showed sympathy only to comfort him and that he would not change and would continue to look like a ‘monstrous beast’.

Bama, the author of the book "Karukku," is a Dalit woman from Tamil Nadu, India. Born into a marginalized community, Bama faced discrimination and oppression from a young age. However, she was fortunate enough to have a brother named Annan who played a significant role in her life.
- Role of Annan in Bama's life:
Annan, which means "elder brother" in Tamil, was a strong advocate for social justice and equality. He was well-educated and exposed to different ideologies that challenged the prevailing caste system. Annan was deeply influenced by revolutionary thinkers like Ambedkar, Periyar, and Marx, who fought against caste discrimination and advocated for the upliftment of the oppressed.
- Annan's awareness:
Annan's awareness and understanding of the social inequalities faced by the Dalit community made a profound impact on Bama. He recognized untouchability as a crime against humanity and saw the need for social change. Annan was determined to fight against untouchability and uplift his community.
- Conversations with Annan:
Bama recalls several conversations with Annan, where he enlightened her about the oppressive nature of untouchability. He explained how the caste system was designed to maintain power and privilege for the upper castes while subjugating and marginalizing the lower castes. Annan also emphasized the importance of education and urged Bama to pursue her studies to challenge the status quo.
- Influence on Bama:
Through these conversations, Annan instilled in Bama a sense of pride in her Dalit identity. He taught her to question and resist the oppressive practices she witnessed daily. Annan's teachings inspired Bama to become a writer and voice the experiences of her community through her powerful book, "Karukku."
- Bama's realization:
As Bama grew older, she began to understand the significance of Annan's teachings. She recognized the injustice and discrimination she faced as a Dalit woman and resolved to fight against it. Bama realized that untouchability was not a natural order but a social construct that perpetuated inequality.
- Conclusion:
In conclusion, Bama's brother, Annan, played a crucial role in her life by enlightening her about the crime of untouchability. Through his teachings, Annan inspired Bama to challenge the oppressive caste system and work towards social justice and equality. Annan's influence ultimately shaped Bama's perspective and motivated her to become a prominent Dalit writer and activist.

Chirag Joshi answered |
Both Bama and Zitkala were individuals who shared several common experiences and struggles, which can be summarized in the statement "all of these." Let us delve into each option to understand why it is correct.
a) Belonged to minority:
Both Bama and Zitkala belonged to minority groups in their respective societies. Bama, a Tamil Dalit woman, faced discrimination and social marginalization due to her caste. Zitkala, a Native American woman, encountered racism and prejudice as a member of the Sioux tribe. Their experiences as minorities influenced their lives and shaped their perspectives.
b) Victims of cultural differences:
Both Bama and Zitkala were victims of cultural differences. Bama, in her autobiography "Karukku," recounts her struggles as a Dalit woman trying to navigate the dominant caste society's expectations and prejudices. Zitkala, in her memoir "American Indian Stories," describes the challenges she faced as a Native American woman assimilating into white American culture at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. They both experienced conflicts between their own cultural backgrounds and the mainstream society they were a part of.
c) Were struggling because of class:
While the question does not provide specific details about their class struggles, it is evident that both Bama and Zitkala faced socioeconomic challenges. Bama, coming from a marginalized Dalit background, had limited access to educational and employment opportunities. Zitkala, growing up on a reservation, faced poverty and limited resources. Their class positions influenced their experiences and the obstacles they had to overcome.
d) All of these:
Given the explanations above, it is clear that all the options mentioned – belonging to a minority, being victims of cultural differences, and struggling due to class – apply to both Bama and Zitkala. These shared experiences and challenges make option "d" the correct answer.
In conclusion, Bama and Zitkala, despite their different cultural backgrounds and contexts, shared commonalities in terms of belonging to a minority, being victims of cultural differences, and facing struggles related to class. These shared experiences shaped their identities and had a significant impact on their lives.
