A Gift Of Chappals

Explanation:

Meena shares with Mridu that they found a kitten outside the gate that morning and have decided to keep it as a secret from their mother.

Explanation:

Ravi claims that the kitten's ancestors were Mahabalipuram Rishi-cat, which is not true.

Explanation:

I agree that Ravi is trying to impress Mridu.

Explanation:

Mridu and Mahendrar were startled by the sound of Lalli's violin, which was producing a screeching noise as she was learning to play it.

Explanation:

The passage does not provide any specific information or context to answer this question.

Explanation:

Explanation:

Yes, the beggar had visited Rukku Manni's house before. The evidence for this is that Ravi was asked to send the beggar away as he had been coming every day for the past week.

Explanation:

The appearance of a sharp V-shaped line between Rukku Manni's eyebrows suggests that she was angry and frustrated about the loss of the music-master's chappals and suspected the children of playing a trick on her.

Explanation:

The music teacher was a thin man with a bald head and black hair around his ears. He was wearing a gold chain around his neck and a diamond ring on his finger. While playing music, he kept tapping his big toe on the floor.

Explanation:

Mridu noticed that the beggar was walking barefoot and had blisters on his feet due to the hot weather. She concluded that the beggar couldn't afford to buy chappals. She suggested giving him a pair of old chappals that were lying in the verandah to help him.

Explanation:

Explanation:

Rukku Manni initially intended to ask the children if they had hidden the chappals somewhere. However, seeing the children were suspiciously quiet, she changed her question to ask if they had seen anyone lurking around the verandah. She suspected that something might have happened to the chappals, possibly someone had hidden or taken them.

Explanation:

The music teacher did not want to appear too happy because he didn't want to reveal that he knew about the children's prank of hiding his original chappals.

Explanation:

The beggar left quickly after receiving the gift of chappals because he didn't want to be caught by the elders, who may take the chappals back from him.

Explanation:

Rukku Manni found it amusing to imagine her brother's reaction upon learning that she had given away his chappals to the music teacher. This thought made her laugh while walking to the kitchen.

Explanation:

A teacher may give a warning to the student not to repeat the mistake or may impose some sort of punishment for not following the uniform policy.

Explanation:

The rebel may wish for rain instead of clear skies.

Explanation:

Other people in the group may commonly have a pet cat instead of a dog.

Explanation:

Rebels can act as watchdogs and keep the system in check, and challenge norms and practices that may not be working well.

Explanation:

Being a rebel can be difficult as it can lead to opposition and tension from those who do not share the same views or values.

Explanation:

I prefer not to be a rebel because rebels generally do not receive respect or admiration from others.
