Answers
Answer:
1)Mandela mentions that every man has twin obligations. The first one is to his family- parents, wife, and children. The second obligation is to his people- his community and his country. Everyone fulfils his duties as per his inclination and interest.
2)Mrs Pumphrey was worried and distraught because Tricki would not eat anything. It even refused its favourite dishes. It had bouts of vomiting. It spent all its time lying on the rug and panting.
3)The 'dust of snow' means the fine particles or flakes of snow. The sudden shower in the form of the dust of snow changed the poet's mood. The poet's mood changed from sad to happy. He felt refreshed and wanted to enjoy the rest of the day.
4)He compares the raindrops with the new coins because the raindrops help him to grow and harvest the crops and it will also help Lencho to get more money which in turn enriches his lifestyle. ... So to get more money, he should harvest the crops correctly.
