Answer 1

(a) Wanda Petronski was a poor Polish girl. She was different from other girls in many ways, her name was uncommon and she had no friends. She wore the same pale unironed blue dress everyday.

(b) Nelson Mandela was pained that he could not convey his gratitude to those people who suffered and sacrificed for freedom. They were no more alive to receive Mandela's thanks. He was more pained that these people could not see the results of their great sacrifices.
