Question

He would greet the lady of the house with ‘Good Morning’ and then place his basket

on the vertical bamboo. We kids would be pushed aside with a mild rebuke and the

loaves would be delivered to the servant. But we would not give up. We would climb

a bench or the parapet and peep into the basket, somehow. I can still recall the typical

fragrance of those loaves. Loaves for the elders and bangles for the children.

Questions:

(a) Why does the baker rebuke the kids?

(b) What does the narrator still remember?

(c) The word ‘rebuke’ means.

(d) Which word in the passage means the same as ‘sweet smell.’?

(e)Why would the children peep into the basket?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) As the kids would be attracted to the fragrance of the loaves, and quite probably steal the bread, the baker rebuked them.

b) The narrator could still remember the fragrance of those loaves.

c) rebuke means expressing sharp disapproval or criticism of (someone) because of their behaviour or actions.

d) Fragrance (of the loaves)

e)  The fragrance probably attracted them to smell the fresh loaves.

                                                    OR

The tendency to smuggle some of the fresh loaves probably made them peep into the basket.
