Explanation:

• The short story "Uncle Podger hangs a Picture" is written by Jerome K. Jerome. We need to answer the questions based on this story.
• 1.Uncle Podger's spirit of understanding jobs is: option i) comical. It is because Uncle Podger was clumsy in his work and although he told he would do the work, he distributed the work to everyone in the house.
• 2. 'Don't you, any of you 'worry -Option iv)both (i) and (iii)- (i)  It is ironical and option (iii) he shifted his burden on others. It is because though he ordered that others may not look into the job of fixing the picture, he made everyone do it. Therefore it is ironical (Option i) and he shifted his burden on others (Option iii).

• 3. The members of the family were: Option (iv) Only involved in Uncle Podger's work. Inspite of Uncle Podger saying that he is going to do the work, the members of the family were the ones involved completely in the work.
• 4. Mr. Podger was virtuous as: Option (iv)- option(i) He was social and option (iii)  all listened to his instruction. As he was virtuous and confident (social), only, the others listened to his words/ demands.
• 5. Which part of speech is used? ‘Hand me up the picture': Option (ii) verb. Though, in general, the word 'hand' is a noun, in this place it is used as a verb, meaning that 'give me the picture'.
