answer for 5 marks ​

Answer 1

Earlier, she could see only her grief. when she went from door to door the second time, she understood that everyone was dealing the with  the loss of beloved one. there was not a single house in the town, where death had not  taken a  father, a mother, a sister, brother, son, daughter. everyone at some point or the other, have experienced the death of their loved ones. Gautam Buddha helped her to understand all this, as he told her to bring a handful of mustard seeds from a house where death had never knocked at  the door. this way she got aware that death is common to all human beings.
