Answer 2

Answer:

a) Why has the word ‘engine’ been used to describe her family?)v.v imp)

The word ‘engine’ has been used to describe her family. The engine of the machine starts up and

there is noise, movement and energy signifying the excitement at the arrival of mother.

b) Who is ‘she’? How does she stoke the engine? (v.v imp)

‘She’ is the goldfinch who has her nest on the top of the laburnum tree. Just as the stoker feeds

coal to the engine, the bird feeds her young ones.

c) What does the bird look like? ( v.v imp)

The face which was earlier hidden in the thickness of the tree’s branches is now revealed

(disclosed) as she comes out at the end of the branch. She seems to be wearing a striped

mask.
