Answers
Answer:
1) The first day of monsoon mist, all the birds fell silent as the mist came climbing up the hill. Perhaps that's what makes the mist so melancholy.
2) The plants seem to know that the it the rains this year are humid and warm, the first cobra lily rears its head from the ferns. The rains have heralded the arrival of some seasonal visitors a leopard, and several thousand leeches.
3) The speaker could feel when the rain drummed on his tin roof, when he listened to it. Tin roofs are given to springing unaccountable leaks, there is a feeling of being untouched by, and yet in touch with the rain. And when he is listening, he also looks out of the window to see the rain.
4) After the rain stopped, snowfalls appeared at high altitudes and monsoon rain becomes the winter rain.
5) The author is feeling lonely because of the climate.
6) The last day of August marked the peak of the lush monsoon growth. The reddening of the seeds of the lily cobra signified that the rains are about to come to an end and the ferns will now start turning yellow.
7) During the winter rain, snowfalls appear at high altitudes and a hailstorm in the evening hit the place. During monsoon rain, the environment is humid and warm. The atmosphere is surrounded by mist and endless rain.
