When we meet people we begin the communication process by greeting each other. Sometimes we may have to introduce a friend or a colleague who is with us. At the end we take leave or bid farewell. We use formal language when we meet someone in authority, business associates, strangers and people in official positions. Informal language is used when we meet close friends, relatives and members of the family.

Answer the following question
Narayanpur Incident Lesson Notes KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 1.
Why had students been marching How was it an unusual march?
Answer:
The students were marching to serve a notice to the Collector, a representative of His Majesty’s government. Their demand was to ask the British to quit India or face the consequences. It was an unusual march because the students, who were the marchers, marched in complete silence as if the police, some of whom walked in front of the students and some by their sides, did not exist. After serving the notice, except for shouting once, ‘Mahatma Gandhi ki jai’, they briskly marched back in the same manner as they had come.

Narayanpur Incident KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 2.
A police officer was seen talking to the student leaders. Can you guess what the officer had been talking to them?
Answer:
Really the police officer has not expected this type of March. They might think that there were shouts, slogans and people will violate. To control the situation they might use their lottery etc. So he came to students and asked about this. There was less work for them.

Narayanpur Incident Question Answer KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 3.
Babu and Manju were a bit disappointed with the way students were marching. What was the reason?
Answer:
The students were totally silent and they went back peacefully. For young children, the significance of the silent march wouldn’t have made much sense. They would have taken slogans, lathi-charge, and bloodshed as indicative of heroism and patriotism. So, Babu and Manju were a bit disappointed with the way the students were marching.

Narayanpur Incident Notes KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 4.
What had the police expected about the way of protest? How did the student leaders manage the protest?
Answer:
The police expected that there will be so much protest against the British. So many people including a teacher were arrested. The angry people might destroy the public property’. The revolt people could do anything and disturb the peace of the people. But the intention of the student’s leaders was completely different. They planned to do more things and give more troubles to police officers. If they get arrested easily, there was of no use? They had to awaken the people by distributing the copies of Mahatma’s speech., etc. So they managed their march so silently and showed their protest against British rule non – violently.

The Narayanpur Incident Questions And Answers KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 5.
What was there in the ‘mysterious parcel’? What suspicion did the police have about that?
Answer:
There was a cyclostyling machine in the mysterious parcel. The higher officer knew about the cyclostyle machine and a number of copies of Mahatma’s speech were distributed in that town. They wanted to know, where that machine was, and who were the people doing all these things. So they talked to themselves, that night they may attack their house with a search warrant.

Narayanpur Incident Summary KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 6.
Why had Patil, the sub-inspector come there? Who believed him? What was the result?
Answer:
Patil, the sub-inspector of police was the friend of the teacher. So he wanted to help them. He came and explained the situation, it was a safer side if they handed over (gave) that machine to him. They may escape from arrest. Amma believed him and handed over that machine to a police officer before the other police come.

Narayanpur Incident Pdf KSEEB Solutions Class 10 Question 7.
What do you think is the writer of the incident trying to impress upon the readers?
Answer:
The writer of the Narayanapura incident tries to impress upon the readers how different people fought against the British in different ways. Leaders like the Mahatma fought selflessly and inspired thousands of Indians like the teacher, his family, and other young college students like Suman. More significantly, there were people like Patil, who belonged to the system but had their hearts in the freedom struggle. In fact, their situation was pitiable. For the sake of their livelihood, they would have taken up the job of the police. But secretly they were with the freedom fighters and tried to do their bit risking their own safety.

Dog Finds his Master Summary in English

Dog Finds His Master Notes Pdf KSEEB Solutions

The lesson ‘Dog finds his Master’ is story about how dogs wilfiily become the servants of Man i.e., How dogs become domesticated. It is ironical that ‘Dog’ which were once a free animal in the wild, wilfiily became domesticated by accepting human beings as their master.

Long, Long ago, Dogs like foxes lived in packs but hunted alone. They lived in freedom until a dog was bom who was not pleased with this way of life. The dog was tired of wandering in search of food and being frightened of other stronger animals. So he decided to become the servant of the strongest person on this earth.

He started searching for such a master. He met a wolf and asked it if he would become the dog’s master. The wolf readily agreed and as they were walking along the forest path, the wolf darted quicky off the path and hid among the bushes deep inside the forest.

The surprised dog asked the wolf why, he was frightened. The wolf told the dog that a ‘bear’ was out there and he might eat up both of them. The dog, then realized that the bear was stronger than the wolf and decided to become the bear’s servant. The bear asked the dog to join with him to hunt cows so that both of them could eat to their fill. As they approached the cows, a terrible noise stopped them.

The bear ran away and hid in the forest. The bear said to the dog that the terrible noise was made by a ‘lion’ who was the mler of the forest and that the lion was the strongest being on the earth. Later the dog became the Lion’s servant. He was happy in the Lion’s service because no one dared to touch him or offend him. One day. the Lion and the dog were walking in the forest.

The Lion stopped suddenly and rared and struck the ground in anger with his paw. Then he walked away very quietly. The dog asked the lion if anything was wrong. The lion told the dog that he could smell a ‘Man’ coming towards them and they better run away and hide from him.

So the dog bid goodbye to the Lion because he wanted to serve a master who was the strongest being on the earth. Eventually, the dog went to the ‘Man’ and stayed with him and served him faithfully, Since then the dog has been the most loyal servant of Man and knows no other master.

The Lighthouse Summary in English

KSEEB Solutions for Class 6 English Prose Chapter 1 The Lighthouse 7

One day Rajiv’s father Madhav took him out on a visit to the Lighthouse. They started at 5 pm and reached the shore at 6 pm. The Lighthouse was a tall, strong building in the shape of a tower with powerful lights.

Rajiv was curious to know about the uses of lighthouses. This father explained that lighthouses help sailors to know where the land is and what place they are near. The lighthouses also warn sailors and guide them away from places dangerous to ships.

When Rajiv wanted to know how lighthouses work his father told him that modern lighthouses used powerful electric lights. Then Rajiv wanted to know about the days when there was no electricity. His father explained that wood fires would be lit in high places on the shore and a later large number of candles were lit in glass enclosures.

Mr. Madhav added that in the days before lighthouses were built, sailors got lost in the sea and there was also the danger of ships wrecking against high rocks in the dark seas, being unable to see a safe place to land. The Lighthouses guided them to safety.

When Rajiv asked Mr. Madhav when we’re the first Lighthouses built he replied that he believed that some enterprising young men might have set fire to huge logs to guide the fishermen to return to the shore safely. The fishermen were guided by the dire light to the safety of the beach. They went back home after having an Icecream.

  3. He vividly describes Mussoorie in October.
  4. He sits in front of the window and pretends to see outside, and makes a general comment about trees.
  5. He makes a non-committal remark about her face.

Paragraph: Initiating the conversation and hoping to keep her from realizing that he was blind, he described the scenery from his memories. He also asked the girl a question, and she told him to look out the window for himself. To continue the ruse, the narrator told the girl that she had an interesting face since he did not actually know how she looked.

Question 2.
Everyone thinks, he could out-wit anyone but sometimes, he himself is out-witted by others. Substantiate this with reference to the story.
Answer:

  1. The narrator plays this game of pretense with strangers.
  2. He never talks about his blindness and takes it for granted that the others are normal-sighted.
  3. Throughout the encounter, he is bothered about what he should say and hence doesn’t pay much attention to what the other person says.

Paragraph: After listening to the parent’s conversation with the daughter, the narrator could not distinguish any unusual advice or information that led him to believe the girl had any handicap herself. The narrator fooled himself. Apparently, he also misled the girl because she did not realize that her fellow traveler was blind either.

Question 3.
The story ends with the new fellow- traveler telling the narrator that the girl was completely blind. What do you think, would be the feelings and thoughts of the narrator after knowing the truth?
Answer:

  1. Narrator is still thinking about the girl who was left.
  2. when the new traveler comes into the compartment, the narrator is getting ready for another round of his favorite game.
  3. the surprising remark by the traveler would surely shock the narrator, and ultimately make him feel ashamed about himself.

Paragraph: Both the readers and the narrator ultimately learn a very valuable lesson about the influence of initial assumptions on the ways we perceive (or fail to perceive) the world and other persons.

The Eyes are not Here Summary in English

A blind man was traveling all alone in a train compartment when at Rohana a girl got in.

It was clear that her parents had come to see her off as they were giving her instructions as what to do and what not to.

When the train left the platform, he asked her where she was going. She was startled on hearing his voice and said that she had not noticed that anyone was there.

The narrator decided that he would try his best not to make it apparent that she was blind.

Both started talking and the narrator spoke about Mussoorie. Then they discussed the scene outside the window.

Listening to the girl talk the narrator thought that her voice was like the sparkle of a mountain stream.

When they reached Saharanpur the girl said good-bye and went away leaving a lingering perfume behind her.

A man had got in at that station. He spoke to the narrator and told him that he would not find him as interesting a traveling companion as the girl who had left.

The narrator enquired of him whether she had long hair or short hair. The man replied that he hadn’t noticed.

He only knew that she had beautiful eyes, but of what use was that as she was blind. He further asked the narrator if he hadn’t noticed it.
