Answers
answer a :Margie's mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography and her mother had asked the County Inspector to look into it. Margie had hoped that her mechanical teacher would be taken away for some time as Tommy's had been when it had malfunctioned.
answer b: Bismillah Khan was a perfect example of India's cultural heritage as he could never even think of leaving Dumrao(Benaras) and also the river Ganga. Not only this he was the one who brought Shehnai ( an indispensable component of our tradition) to a classic level or stage.
answer c:The swallow also had feeling for people when he stayed with happy prince. He became more sympathetic and did his duty with obedience. Therefore, we can tell that both were similar in nature after the bird stayed with the happy prince.
answer d:Albert Einstein left the school in Munich because he hated the school's strict and controlled environment, and often had disagreements with his teachers. According to Einstein, Switzerland was more liberal than Munich. Hence, he wanted to study in Switzerland.
answer e: Toto and Nana never became good friends because Toto was a very mischievous animal while Nana was a very calm one. Toto was a very destructive monkey who always used to disturb others. Nana was the family donkey who used to be very calm and silent.
