Test: Mystery of the Talking Fan- 1 - Class 7 MCQ

Initially, the sounds of the fan are puzzling to the speaker, making it a mystery.

Whirling refers to moving quickly in a circular motion, which is synonymous with rotating. This can be seen in the context of:

• Fan blades turning around a central axis.

The fan’s sounds are metaphorically described as a "language," which aligns with the idea of it being mechanical or electronic.

The phrase "talking fan" uses a verb to describe the fan metaphorically, making it a verbal phrase.

The mystery of the noise was solved when the fan’s motor was oiled, stopping the sound.

The fan’s noise is described metaphorically as an attempt to communicate, symbolizing speaking.

The speaker hears only bits and pieces of the fan's "chatter," adding a mysterious or partial understanding.

After being oiled, the whirring motor ran more smoothly and quietly. This can be metaphorically likened to still water, which is calm and without disturbance.

Thus, all options A, B, and C describe aspects of the fan's improved operation, making option D correct.

The fan’s noise or “chatter” is caused by electrical vibrations or currents, hence termed "electrical."

Oiling the motor reduced the noise or 'chatter', resolving the issue.
