Question

Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow :

I can make you a present of them myself because they’re mine! Your behaviour, Ivan Vesilevitch, is

strange, to say the least! Up to this, we have always thought of you as a good neighbour, a friend: last

year we lent you our threshing-machine, although on that account we had to put off our own threshing

till November, but you behave to us as if we were gypsies.Giving me my own land, indeed! No, really,

that’s not at all neighbourly! In my opinion, it’seven impudent, if you want to know.

a. What had Lomov offered to gift Natalya?

b. Why did she say that ‘it’s even impudent'?

c. What did the speaker lend to Lomov last year?

d. Pick out the word which means the same as "a nomadic or free-spirited person".

e. How did he behaved?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: Lomov told Natalya and Chubukov that his aunt's grandmother gave the Meadows for the temporary and free use of Chubukov's grandfather's peasants. So he is the rightful owner of the open meadows.
