Page no- 65<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda Petronski used to sit in the seat next to the last seat in the last row in Room Thirteen. She used to sit in the corner of the room where there was most scuffling of feet, most roars of laughter when anything was said, and most of mud and dirt on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She used to sit over there as she was very quiet and rarely said anything at all. She was not enough sound economically. Her legs were filled with mud. She used to come from far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda lived in Boggins Heights which is covered with mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think it is a rural area which is covered with mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. On Monday and Tuesday, Wanda didn\u2019t go to school, but no one noticed her absence. When Peggy and Maddie waited for her in order to make some fun out of her, they realised that she was absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. \u201cTo have fun of her\u201d means to laugh at her and cracking jokes on her. In the story, Peggy and Maddie used to have fun of Wanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oral Comprehension Check<\/p>\n\n\n\n Page no- 67<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda was different from the other students in a number of ways. Wanda Petronski, the name, itself, was quite uncommon from the rest. She used to wear a faded blue dress, which has never been ironed. But she claimed that she was having a hundred dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda was quite poor, so it was not possible for her to afford those hundred dresses. No, Wanda didn\u2019t have a hundred dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanda said so because her classmates used to tease her asking about how many dresses. So, these compelled her to say that she was having a hundred dresses and sixty pairs of shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Maddie was embarrassed by the questions as she was also poor like Wanda. She understood her feelings. She, herself, wore somebody\u2019s hand-me-down clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, she is the same as Wanda as she was also from a poor family and didn\u2019t want others to tease Wanda for her dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comprehension Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Page no- 70<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Peggy was the most popular girl in the school. If Maddie would tell her to stop teasing Wanda, they might make Maddie the new target. Maddie, like Wanda, was quite poor. She usually wore somebody\u2019s hand-me-down clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was afraid that Peggy, along with the other girls, would make her the new target and would make fun of her. \u00a0Moreover, she was wearing the old dress of Peggy and she might ask her from where she got those. It would be so embarrassing for her. Peggy was also the best friend of Maddie. She thought that Peggy couldn\u2019t do anything wrong as she was the best-liked girl in the whole room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Maddie thought that Peggy would win the drawing contest. This was because Peggy drew better than anyone else in the room. She was liked by everyone in the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Jack Beggles, among the boys and Wanda Petronski, among the girls won the drawing contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack drew an outboard motor. On the other hand, Wanda drew a hundred dresses of different colours and designs, each of which was capable of winning the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thinking about the Text<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Page no- 70<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda was different from the other students in a number of ways. Wanda Petronski, the name, itself, was quite uncommon from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was poor and had no friends. She used to wear a faded blue dress, which have never been ironed. But she claimed that she was having a hundred dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other girls used to make fun of her by asking the number of dresses she had. Moreover, they teased her by her name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Wanda never showed any expressions. But she must have felt bad. She was poor but it wasn\u2019t her fault. They compelled her to say that she was having the hundred dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other girls used to tease her as she wore the same dress every day. So, she was compelled to say about the hundred dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Peggy was the most popular girl in the school. If Maddie would tell her to stop teasing Wanda, they might make Maddie the new target. Maddie, like Wanda, was quite poor. She usually wore somebody\u2019s hand-me-down clothes. On the other hand, Peggy was quite rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was afraid that Peggy, along with the other girls, would make her the new target and would make fun with her. Moreover, she was wearing the old dress of Peggy ad she might ask her that from where she got those. It would be so embarrassing for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lines from the text are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. Miss Mason appreciated the efforts made by Wanda. She announced that Wanda had drawn a hundred dresses of different colours and designs, each of which was capable of winning the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other children of the classroom admired her drawings. Everyone burst into applause and even the boys were glad to have a chance to stamp on the floor and whistled. Even Peggy and Maddie appreciated her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be proved from the last line, \u201cAnd here\u2019s that green one, Boy, and I thought I could draw.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thinking about language<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Page no- 71<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They italicised clauses help us to identify a set of boys, a place, and at a time. They are answers to the questions \u2018What kind of rough boys?\u2019 \u2018Which corner did she sit in?\u2019 and \u2018What particular time outside of school hours?\u2019 They are \u2018defining\u2019 or \u2018restrictive\u2019 relative clauses. (Compare them with the \u2018non-defining\u2019 relative clauses discussed in Unit 1.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n II. The Narrative Voice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This story is in the \u2018third person\u2019 that is, the narrator is not a participant in the story. But the narrator often seems to tell the story from the point of view of one of the characters in the story. For example, look at the italicised words in this sentence<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank goodness, <\/em>she did not live up on Boggins Heights or have a funny name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whose thoughts do the words \u2018Thank goodness\u2019 express? Maddie\u2019s, who is grateful that although she is yet not as poor as Wanda, or as \u2018different\u2019. (So she does not get teased; she is thankful about that.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n III. Look at this sentence. The italicised adverb expresses an opinion or point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously, <\/em>the only dress Wanda had was the blue one she wore every day. (This was obvious to the speaker.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other such adverbs are apparently, evidently, surprisingly, possibly, hopefully, incredibly, luckily. Use these words appropriately in the blanks in the sentences below. (You may use a word more than once, and more than one word may be appropriate for a given blank.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Where in the classroom does Wanda sit and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
2. Where does Wanda live? What kind of a place do you think it is?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
3. When and why do Peggy and Maddie notice Wanda\u2019s absence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
4. What do you think \u201cto have fun with her\u201d means?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. In what ways was Wanda different from the other children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
2. Did Wanda have a hundred dresses? Why do you think she said she did?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
3. Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Why didn\u2019t Maddie ask Peggie to stop teasing Wanda? What was she afraid of?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
2. Who did Maddie think would win the drawing contest? Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
3. Who won the drawing contest? What had the winner drawn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. How is Wanda seen as different by the other girls? How do they treat her?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
2. How does Wanda feel about the dresses game? Why does she say that she has a hundred dresses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
3. Why does Maddie stand by and not do anything? How is she different from Peggy? (Was Peggy\u2019s friendship important to Maddie? Why? Which lines in the text tell you this?)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
