The correct answers are -
(b) Mukesh belonged to the Firozabad family of bangle-makers. They lived in poor conditions, and their father could not give them a better standard of living. He didn't even go to a school. All the bangle makers were trapped in a vicious circle of middlemen in Firozabad.If they even filed a complaint with the police they'd be the ones that had to suffer. Mukesh tells of his vision of becoming his own master, as he wants to become a mechanic and also wants to drive a car.
(c) Sophie and Jansie contrast dramatically with each other personages. As best friends, Jansie needs to see Sophie come out of her fantasy world and face reality. She admits they are supposed to work and earn a living in the biscuit factory. Sophie dreams of owning a boutique or becoming an actress or a fashion designer, but she is unaware that money is needed for all this. Jansie has a realistic lifetime outlook and has no far-fetched aspirations that can't be achieved. Sophie is facing deceptions as she becomes a victim of her own delusions.
(d) Evans had tried to escape thrice from the jail before being finally put into the Oxford prison. Following his third escape attempt, he was transferred to the prison's most safe institution in the north wing . The governor had described Evans as' Evans the break' to the Examination Board Secretary. He assured the Secretary he was not a dangerous person and he was just a kleptomaniac. Evans wanted to take an O level exam in German but the Governor doubted his motives and warned him not to try to escape again.
(f) The tale Jack told was about a small creature called Roger Skunk who had a foul smell that he couldn't find any friends in the jungle and felt lonely about. So, for advice, he visited the owl who had led him to the sorcerer. The wizard cast a spell, transforming his foul smell into the one of roses. Mommy Skunk didn't appreciate his odour when he returned home, and became furious. She took him back to the sorcerer, beat him with a stick and begged him to return the natural odour to Roger. The witch took her spell off, and gave Roger back his scent.
