Question

Read the passage and answer the questions given below it.
The rush of the wind, a door on the slam
The boom of the thunder, the crash of the waves
The din of a river that races and raves,
The Crack of a rifle, the clank of a pail,
The strident tattoo of a swift slapping sail,
From any old sound that the silence destroys
Arises a gamut of soul-stirring Joys
I like noise.
Questions :
49. Pick out the natural elements mentioned in the stanza.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The din of a river that races and raves.

Answer 2

The natural elements in the passage are -

• The rush of the wind, the sound made by a gust of wind as it blows; a natural element.
• Boom of thunder, the onomatopoeia used for sound of thunder.
• Crash of waves as they approach the beach or the contours carved in sand, seldom rocks.
• The racing and raving din of a river, the torrents of which sound beautiful almost anywhere, especially in the middle of a forest.
• The other sounds made by inanimate objects involve an artificial element. Hence, they may not be categorized under natural elements.
