Answer 2

Answer:

• Velu is not a smart boy. He goes to Chennai and doesn't know what to do. He just sits on the bench with his head on his knees.
• Velu is too slow to decide. When Jaya offers him to find food if he goes with her, he takes too much time to think.
• Velu is also too hesitant. Jaya had to drag him across the road. He was hesitant and might have been run over by a vehicle. Even when Jya gives him a sack and a stick to go with her to work, he scratches his head.

Hope it helps :)
