Class - X: Open Tex Book Evaluation

Q.1: Give the resons for the following statements:


(a) The poet faced an unexpected situation in the store.


Ans: The poet went to a store to buy something for him but there he saw a kitty and she was sleeping on a counter. This is the unexpected situation, the poet faced in the store.

(b) The poet counted his lucky stars.


Ans: The poet counted his lucky stars because the poet left of that store without buying anything and didn't get scratched by the cat lying on the counter.



Q.2: What are the similarities between the cat in ‘The Cat in the Store' and that in ‘The Cat'. [Lesson -7]


Ans : ‘The Cat’ is written by Andrew Barton Paterson. The story describes the life of a cat. The author seems to be fond of cat and potrays all the activity of cat in this story.
'The cat in the store' written by James sage. In this poem, the poet describes a kitty's behaviour who is lying in a store counter. 
We find some similarities between the cat in ‘The Cat in the Store' and that in ‘The Cat'. Both the cats are nice and gentle. Another similarity is that both cats like to sleep during the day, but they become very fierce when they are angry or in a hunting situation. They are independent and don't like more sympathy from humans. They don't even compromise with humans during meals. At that time, they can also attack humans with their sharp claws.

Q. 3: Do you support what the poet did with cat in the store. Give reason for your answer.


Ans: I disagreed with the poet's treatment of the cat lying in the shop. As the cat was resting, the poet should not have stroked her at all. At that moment the cat could have scratched the poet with its sharp claws.
