Answer:
16. Postmaster read the letter which is written by lencho for god as he written "letter to god" in his letter and god's address nobody known therefore the postman open the letter and read it.
17. Probably, it was the narrator's own self that helped him through the storm. There was no other plane in the storm as the woman at the control centre could see only his plane on the radar. Also, no other plane was flying that night.
18. The poet suggests that if a large and tawny beast in the jungle in the east advances towards us, then it is an Asian lion. We can identify it when it roars at us while we are dying with fear. When while roaming we come across a wild beast that is yellow in colour with black stripes, it is a Bengal tiger.
19. For Mandela, courage does not mean the absence of fear but a victory over fear. According to him, brave men need not be fearless but should be able to conquer fear.
20. Ausable created a convincing story about the presence of the balcony. he said that twice in a month somebody has entered his room through the balcony. On being questioned by max about the bacony , he replied with extreme irritation that it was not his balcony. This reaction which looked natural , played a part in convencing max. He further told max explanatorily that his room was earlier a part of larger unit and the adjoining room was the one which had the balcony. He said that it extended under his window. His manner of description and speaking convinces max that there was indeed a balcony under his window.
21. Griffin was lawless because he had committed many anti-social deeds for which he never felt guilty . he Set Fire to his landlord house and ran away , he stole foodstuffs and clothes from a London store , stole Other goods from a theatrical company and also stole money from a clergymen's house to pay his bills.
