Answers
Answer:
1) Slot is a part of the mechanical teacher in which Margie had to submit her homework. She hated it as the teacher always used to give her homework which she need to complete it and submit it in the slot.
2) The recurring themes of Bismillah Khan's music was the relationships between the human beings and the flowing waters of the Ganga. He thought that Benares and Dumraon were the most wonderful towns of the world.
3) Einstein's love for freedom dated back to his school days. He felt suffocated in his school in Munich because of excessive discipline. He opted to study in Switzerland in a school with a liberal environment.
4) The theme of the poem is the healing power of rain. The musical sound of raindrops falling on the rooftop at night has the ability to revive sweet memories and rouse fancies in an otherwise busy mind. The rain thus soothes and comforts an overworked mind by taking it back to its lovely past.
5) The child was watching the roundabout when he got lost.
