Answer

1 — b) Apples

When Minam packs her bag, the story says she took “her favourite fruit, apples”. Later, by the river, she “laughed with joy while eating an apple”.

How to be sure: The story uses the word favourite itself. When the book gives you the exact word, take the answer straight from that line.

“After a while, they reached a small river with clear water. Minam’s grandfather said, ‘This is where we will have our lunch.’”

They sat by the river, ate their rotis and watched the fish swim.

Tip: Column B has only one place that is not a mountain — the river. The other choices are animals or a mountain. Spotting the odd one out makes matching quicker.

Answer

3 — a) Yaks

As Minam and her grandfather climbed higher, “soon they could see yaks”. Her grandfather said, “Yaks are very important to the people living in the mountains. They give us milk, wool, and help carry heavy loads.”

Why yaks and not mountain goats here: Both live in the mountains. But item 5 asks for the animals that are good at climbing rocks, and that is the mountain goats. So the yaks belong to this blank.

From the top of the hill, Minam’s grandfather “pointed to the highest mountain and said, ‘That is Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Many brave people have tried to climb it.’”

Did you know? Mount Everest stands in the Himalayas — the same mountains Minam can see from her village.
