Answer 1

Answer:

Far far from gusty waves these children’s faces. Like rootless weeds, the hair torn around their pallor: The tall girl with her weighed-down head. The paperseeming boy, with rat’s eyes. The stunted, unlucky heir of twisted bones, reciting a father’s gnarled disease, his lesson, from the desk. At back of the dim class one unnoted, sweet and young.

a) The two phrases that tell us that the children are under-nourished are -‘paper- seeming’ and ‘with rat’s eyes’.
