Question

A2: Listen the poem carefully to write:- (5)
1) Gist
(2)
2) Rhyming words (2)
3) Figures of speech (1)
Between Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose,
The spectacles set them unhappily wrong;
The point in dispute was, as all the world knows,
To which the said spectacles ought to belong.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rhyming words are

= arose - knows

wrong - belong

Answer 2

(1) Gist: The poem comically captures a fight between the nose and the eyes.

The reason for the fight is the pair of spectacles. Both the nose and the eyes feel that the spectacles belong to them, and are fighting over it.

2) Rhyming words: There are two pairs of rhyming words in the extract-

• arose-knows
• wrong- belong

3) Figures of speech:

• Personification- Both the eyes and the nose have been treated as humans. This is indicated by the way both the terms begin with a capital letter. Also, the dispute sounds like it is a fight between two individuals.
• Hyperbole- It is exaggerating things, like saying ‘all the world knows’. The poet uses hyperbole to make it sound like a major issue.
