Answers
Answer:
(a)The author had a high opinion about Mr Gessler as a bootmaker. He knew that Mr Gessler made only what was ordered, and the boots that he made never failed to fit. The author felt that to make such boots as Mr Gessler did seemed mysterious and wonderful.
(b)The story “Expert Detectives ” is a debate between the brilliant siblings Maya and Nishad whether a strange man Mr. Nath is a crook or a lonely man in need of kind friends. That has created a certain kind of tension in the story.
(c) The moment the volunteer swallows four drops of the new invention, he begins wrinkling and shrivelling up all over. His hair starts dropping off and his teeth start falling out. Before Mr Wonka knew it, the volunteer suddenly becomes an old man of seventy-five. The name of the invention was Vita-Wonk.
