Short Answer Type Questions (30-40 words & 2 marks each)

Question 1.
What is the colour of the young woman’s hair ? Why do you think she wants to change it ?
Answer:
The young woman has yellow hair which she says can be dyed brown, black or carrot. She desires this change to improve her looks and appear beautiful in the eyes of young men.

Question 2.
What wisdom was imparted to the poet by an old religious man ? Do you agree with the opinion ?
Answer:
The old religious man quoted a text, that-It is only God who can love a person for himself regardless of his appearance and other attributes.
I agree that God’s love for his creation is unconditional; but people do get influenced by the appearance and other physical traits of a person. But the affection of parents for their children is unbiased and selfless like God’s love and is not affected by any unpleasantness of appearance.

Long Answer Type Question (4 marks)

Question 1.
‘Is it right to judge someone on the basis of his/her physical appearance. Elaborate.
Answer:
Physical appearance alone cannot give the true account of a person as me can change it through clothing, make-up etc. A person can be judged on the basis of his behaviour, which show the true characteristics of his personality. This is depicted by Anne in her reply to the first speaker that her beautiful hair colour is changeable, which attracts man. Men should not fall in love just looking at the physical appearance.
