questions in about 60 words. 1 × 3 = 3
13. How does Juliet glorify the charm of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?
Ans: Juliet wishes for the night to come
because it allows her to be with Romeo without anyone seeing them. She
understands that their love must remain hidden due to the feud between their families,
and the night gives them the privacy they need. By imagining Romeo as stars
after his death, Juliet expresses her belief that his love and beauty will last
forever, even beyond life. She imagines that the stars, filled with Romeo’s
light, would make the night so beautiful that everyone would love the night
more than the day. This shows her deep understanding of love as something
eternal, transcending life itself. Her vision of Romeo as stars highlights the
lasting power of love and reflects her desire for their bond to remain strong,
even after death.
OR
14. Write a note on the gaming houses in Monaco as mentioned
in Too Dear!.
Ans: Monaco is a very small kingdom near
France and Italy, with only around 7,000 people. It is located along the
Mediterranean Sea. To run the kingdom, the Prince collects money from taxes on
tobacco, wine, and spirits. However, because Monaco is so small, he also
depends on a gambling house, where people play roulette. The Prince gets a
percentage of the money people lose at the gambling tables, which helps cover
the costs of running the kingdom and paying his officials and other expenses.
OR
15. Bring out the attitude of the King of Monaco in spending
money for punishing a criminal in Too
Dear!.
Ans: The main problem with executing the
criminal was that Monaco didn’t have a guillotine or an executioner. Bringing
one from France or Italy was too expensive for the small kingdom. To solve
this, the Prince and his ministers considered asking their soldiers to perform
the execution, but none of them were willing to do it. After trying different
options, they decided to change the criminal’s punishment from execution to
life imprisonment because it was a more affordable solution for the kingdom.
