Answers
Answer:
15.answer: The king wanted to know the answers to the three questions because he thought that he would never fail once he knew the answers to these questions. Messengers were sent throughout the kingdom to announce a reward for those who could answer the questions.
16.answer: The poet said the squirrel “wore a question mark for tail” because the shape of the tail of squirrel sitting on the ground looks very similar to question mark. I would describe it as fur of clothes clutched together or bushy shaped.
17.answer: The noise that startled Mridu and frightened Mahendran was that of 'kreeching' sound of Lalli's violin.
19.answer: When the king heard his courtiers talking about Hilsa fish, he lost his temper and warned them that they were courtiers and not fishermen. But the king soon felt guilty, looking at his nervous and humble courtier when he had rebuked.
20.answer: In order to prove that he was clever, Gopal was asked to buy a huge hilsa-fish and bring it to the palace without anyone asking anything about the fish.
