Answers
Answer:
1 ans : The old schools had an irregular teacher in the form of a human being. It was not a mechanical teacher. The old school teachers gave the students homework, asked them questions and gave them tests
2 ans : Bismillah didn't enter the celluloid world despite getting huge success because when he started getting lessons in playing instrument and would sit practising through out the day on the banks of the river ganga. the flowing waters of the ganga inspired him to improvise and invent ragas
3 ans : Literally, then, to say that the road "bent in the undergrowth" means that, at a certain point, the speaker can no longer see which direction the road goes. The undergrowth obscures the road's direction from the speaker's sight. Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, he cannot see where it leads or where it ends.
4 ans : On his way to the fair the child sees toys, balloons of different colours, garland of gulmohur, a swing and a snake-charmer playing a flute. He gets attracted towards all these things.
