Question 1:
Read the following text A (poem) and answer the questions that follow.
I took his hand and followed
My dishes went unwashed today
I didn’t make my bed
I took his hand and followed
Where his eager footsteps led.
Oh yes, we went adventuring
My little child and I Exploring all the great outdoors
Beneath the sun and sky.
We watched a robin feed her young
We climbed a sunlit hill
Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky
We plucked a daffodil.
That my house was so neglected
That I didn’t brush the stairs
In twenty years, no one on earth
Will know or even care.
But that I’ve helped my little child
To noble adulthood grow
In twenty years, the whole wide world
May look and see and know.
