Test: Chapter - 3, Three Men in a Boat - Class 9 MCQ

Harris suggested that they make a list of what to take with them, and specifically mentioned a "grocery catalog."

Uncle Podger was described as causing a lot of commotion and mishaps when he did a job, such as hanging a picture on the wall. He would drop the picture, cut his finger, and lose his handkerchief, among other things.

Jim thought that Harris would be exactly like Uncle Podger when he grew up, implying that he would be clumsy and disorganized.

Jim opined that the boat of life should be light and that a person should only take along what is needed, such as one or two friends, a cat or dog, food, clothes, and drinks.

George suggested that they carry a boat cover instead of a tent.

Both George and Harris proclaimed that they loved an early morning swim, but Jim did not like to get up early in the morning and thus hated an early morning swim.

Harris said that an early morning swim always gave him an appetite.

George suggested that two suits of flannel would be enough and that they would wash them on the river.

Jim and Harris later found out that George was an imposter and that he knew nothing about washing and clothes, despite his suggestion to wash their clothes on the river.

"He should take with him one or two friends, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog and a pipe or two, enough food and sufficient clothes and drinks."
