Answers
The questions refer to Sarojini Naidu's poem "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad".
1a. 'Call' here means to shout out loud.
1b. The pedlars are in a busy bazaar. They need to draw the attention of the customers to their wares. So, they need to shout in order to be heard.
1c. The pedlars are selling things related to leisure- pieces that are used to play chess and dice, made of ivory.
2a. The goldsmiths make the bells.
2b. The bells are meant for pigeons. Humans used to tie the bells to the feet of blue pigeons.
2c. Since the bells are meant for pigeons, they have to be light and delicate, so that they do not get heavy for the birds. Also, presumably the bells are made of gold. Dragon-fly wings are golden in colour and also delicate. Thus, both the bells and dragon-fly wings share the same attributes of being golden and delicate.
3a. The flower-girls make the crowns for the bridegroom.
3b. The crowns are made of flowers.
3c. The king and queen queen wear crowns that are made of precious metal and gemstones. Their crowns are meant to be long lasting. The bridegroom wears crowns made of flowers which completely wilt away in a few days. Also, the flower crowns are not expensive.
