The correct answers are -
(a) In the poem, My Mother at Sixty-Six, the poet's childhood fear is that of having to lose either her mother or her business. Through the poem, the poet has tried to show how the time is coming that her worries will turn into reality, and this at the same time makes her feel depressed and nervous, for her mother has already reached her old age and is entering her last days.
(c) Gandhiji had denied taking C.F. Andrew's help during the Champaran campaign, because he wanted to teach a lesson in self-belief and independence to his Indian brothers. He didn't want an Englishman to help them in whatever struggles they faced, and he hoped to achieve his goals through independence and strength alone.
(d) Mr. Lamb and Derry have similar psychological difficulties in seeing their physical conditions. While Derry faced constant humiliation, rejection and isolation due to his burnt face, Mr. Lamb was a secluded, mocked and laughed.When it came to themselves, they both had physical deformities, and both faced similar emotional trauma at the hands of people who cared and people that didn't.
(f) The Maharaja was of the opinion that the hundredth tiger had already been killed, but otherwise the fact was - the tiger was wounded but not dead. Since the King couldn't destroy the hundredth tiger despite multiple attempts, his ministers crafted a plan to let the King kill the hundredth. They themselves killed an old tiger, and presented it to the king as the one he had hunted, and the king believed them. He thought in this way he had finally reversed his death's prophecy.
