Question

corporal turnbull attempt to transform the self promoting quelch was futile. what values can be drawn out from this statement

Answer 1

Corporal turnbull attempted to transform Quelch was futile. This was evident from the last paragraph wherein Quelch was lecturing his fellow cooks about the wrong way of peeling of potatoes and yet again proving his knowledge in front of everyone. Thus, this attempt wasn't really helpful.

Answer 2

it can be seen in the last part if the ch that private quelch ( PQ ) was sent for cookhouse duties because of his habit of giving long lectures and showing off his knowledge on everything. He didn't spared even the Corporal Turnbull and started lecturing as an honor for him. But the corporal sent him for cookhouse duties to give him a good lesson. One day the narrator and one of his frnd were passing nearby the kitchen and heard him lecturing on ' Unscientific and unhygienic ways of pealing potatoes. ' So, this was also of no use as PQ didn't learned anything from this incident.

Hope it helps ^_^
