It was a windy summer afternoon. Ranjan thought it was a good day to buy kites from the shop across his house. He bought two kites, one for himself and another for his sister Riya.
Ranjan and Riya went up on the terrace of their house to fly the kites he bought. Seeing them running around, their mother got upset and asked them to come downstairs. Then Ranjan’s father came to their rescue and showed them how to fly the kites. He also advised both Ranjan and Riya that kids should not try to fly kites alone on the terrace and that they should always ask elders in the house to be around them.
Ranjan and Riya had a lot of fun that day flying kites with their father. They also learned not to go to the terrace alone as it can be dangerous.

View AnswerAns: (d)
- It was a windy summer afternoon when Ranjan decided to buy kites.
- The presence of wind is crucial for flying kites, making it the ideal weather.

View AnswerAns: (c)
- Ranjan’s mother felt upset due to the fact that Ranjan and Riya were running around on the terrace.
- This behavior could be seen as unsafe and disruptive, which likely concerned her.
- While the other options mention kites or shouting, they do not directly relate to her feelings of being upset.

Q24: Ranjan’s father advised them against flying kites alone on the terrace because _______.

(d) Their teacher in school
View AnswerAns: (b)
- Ranjan and Riya need to communicate with the elders in the house before going to the terrace.

- Other options, like the shopkeeper or their teacher, are not relevant in this situation.

Q29: Rocky: Yesterday, I went _______ the beach for the first time.
(a) in
