Question 1.
Identify the stanza that talks of each of the following.
1. Individuality
2. Rationalism
3. Hypocrisy
Answer:
Before answering let us understand these terms.
Individuality is a person’s quality that makes him different from others or thinking for himself without following others’ thinking blindly.
Rationalism is a stage when an individual is able to analyse a situation using reason and come to his own conclusions.
Hypocrisy is a practice of engaging in the same behaviour or activity for which one criticises another. The poet has talked about the hypocritical behaviour of adults who preach something else and practise something else.
Individuality—stanza 3
Rationalism—stanza 1
Hypocrisy—stanza 2
