1. " And out of its leprous hide" 

What does 'hide' refer to? Why is it called 'leprous'? How is the tree finally killed?

Ans: Here In the poem 'On Killing a Tree' by Gieve Patel the word 'hide' refers to the bark of the tree.

       It is called 'leprous' because the rough bark of the tree looks like a skin of a leprosy patient.

     According to the poet, a tree can not be killed by a simple jab of a knife or by hacking and chopping it. To kill a tree it's root is to be pulled out from the anchoring earth. After pulling out, it is kept in the sun and air to get schorched and choked. Next, it is left in the sun to make it hard and brown. Then it is twisted and withered in the sun. Thus the tree is finally killed. 

2. " But her next question removed my doubts." Who does "her" refer to? What "doubts" did the narrator have? How did the "question" remove the"doubts"? 

Ans: Here ‘Her’ refers to the young girl , the co-passenger of the narrator in the short story "The Eys Have It."

                The narrator had doubts whether she had noticed that he could not see.

                 This question removed his doubts because she would not have asked him to ‘look out of the window’ if she had known that he could not see. So her question removed the narrator's doubts.

PROSE

1. Discuss in brief the significance of the title The Eyes Have It.

Ans: The word ‘eyes’ in the title “The Eyes Have It” signifies the inner eyes. Here in this story, the author Ruskin Bond has presented two characters—the narrator and his only girl co-passenger, both of them are blind. But we see that both of them try to hide their blindness from each other. Also both of them speak with each other like an eye-sighted man and they describe the outside of the train, beauty of Mussoorie so fantastically as if they can see. The writer thinks that it has been possible for those two blind characters only by the power of their inner eyes. So, the title of the story may be interpreted in this way that the inner eyes have it i.e. the power to see the the unseen. The title of this story is very much apt.

POEM

2. The poem On Killing a Tree describes man's cruelty and violence to nature. Discuss

Ans: The poem 'On Killing a Tree' is a satirical poem, at man's violence and cruelty in killing a tree. The poet has described in detail how a tree having superior life force can resist onslaught and withstand. In the second part of the poem, the poet has narrated the deliberate and cold blooded of violence that a man undertakes in forcibly exposing the soft part of a tree's strength and unkindly kills it by scorching and choking in air and sunlight. 

DRAMA

3. Is the play, 'The Proposal' a farce? Justify your answer with close reference to the text.

Ans: A farce is a broad satire that includes ridiculous situation, witty dialogues, crude characters and buffoonery to produce laughter. Anton Chekhov's 'The Proposal' stuffused with funny situations. Lomov who turns up to talk marriage, actually talks about weather, Oxen Meadows and dogs. Natalya goes hysteric when she learns that Lomov had come with a marriage proposal up his sleeve. The characters are caricatures. Chubukov is maniac and hypocritic. The dialogues are innovatively witty.

4. "I shall try to be brief"- 

Who is the speaker? Is the speaker successful in his purpose? 

Bring out the irony of the situation.

Ans: Lomov the hero of Anton Chekhov's play 'The Proposal' is the speaker here. 

        Lomov has come with a marriage proposal to Chubukov's daughter Natalya. He tries to propose to Natalya. He is too much tensed. But he starts with a long introduction about the family relations of the both family. Thus he distracted from his purpose. 

        Firstly, Lomov's tension and incoherent speech can be enjoyed with fun. Secondly, he declares to express his proposal in brief and starts a long conversation. This becomes funny. The irony lies in this situation.
