concern genuine? How can you say so?

weakest child in their family while her brothers and sisters were healthy. He
was worried about her ugly looks because of the pock-marks all over her body
and also because of her stammering. He was worried that no one would come
forward to marry Bholi because of her being weak and ugly.
4.(b) “If Nan-kaka had not noticed this abnormality ... I
would have grown up to be an obscure fisherman....”. Who is the speaker of
these lines? What abnormality was he suffering from? How did that abnormality
turned into a blessing for him?
The speaker is Sunil
Gavaskar
He was having a black
dot on his left ear.
This was a blessing because the nurse had by mistake replaced baby Sunil Gavaskar with a fisher woman's child. So when Nan Kaka saw that the baby did not have a dot on his left ear. They asked the authorities. And soon they found baby Sunil Gavaskar sleeping besides the fisher woman. So the kids were handed over to their respective mothers.

5.(b) ‘Gerrad outwitted the Intruder and came out as a
clever person’. Do you agree with the statement ? Justify using examples from
the lesson.
Answer:
Gerrad
gets rid of the intruder in the play by fooling him. Gerrard crafted a story
tells the intruder that one of his men had been caught. He further added that
the things which should have been burnt have been found. Gerrard outwits the
intruder by confessing that he himself is also an intruder and is expecting the
police soon. He made up a story that his accomplice is already caught and any
time he will be arrested too. The intruder gets scared by hearing this and
started to run.
