The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

1. Kindness — f) Being kind

Kindness is the name of the quality. Kind is the word we use for the person. So kindness simply means being kind — gentle and helpful towards others.

Why this pair is easy: The same small word hides inside both — kindness and being kind. In a matching exercise, start with the pairs you can see at once. That leaves fewer choices for the hard ones.
From the lesson: “She ruled with kindness and wisdom and people loved her.” (page 127)

The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

2. Bravery — g) Being brave

Bravery means being brave — not running away when something is frightening.

Why -y here: Many describing words turn into naming words by adding a small ending. Brave becomes bravery, kind becomes kindness. The meaning does not change; only the shape of the word does.
From the lesson: Queen Ahilya Bai was “a warrior queen”. A warrior queen needs bravery.

The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

3. Wisdom — a) Being wise

Wisdom means being wise. A wise person knows the right thing to do, and does it.

Wise is not the same as clever: Clever means you learn things fast. Wise means you choose well. Ahilya Bai built temples, schools and wells for her people. That is a wise choice, not just a clever one.
From the lesson: “She ruled with kindness and wisdom” (page 127).
Q4.

4. Majestic (   )
A B
1. Kindness(   )a) Being wise
2. Bravery(   )b) Being royal
3. Wisdom(   )c) Being special
4. Majestic(   )d) Being devoted
5. Unique(   )e) Being strong
6. Fierce(   )f) Being kind
7. Dedicated(   )g) Being brave
The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

4. Majestic — b) Being royal

Majestic means grand and beautiful, the way a king’s or a queen’s things are. Royal means belonging to a king or a queen. So majestic is being royal in the way something looks.

Why not “being special”: Many things are special. Majestic says something more exact — it is grand, and it makes you look up at it. Keep being special for unique.
From the lesson: “the fort in the picture is the majestic Maheshwar” (page 125).
Q5.

5. Unique (   )
A B
1. Kindness(   )a) Being wise
2. Bravery(   )b) Being royal
3. Wisdom(   )c) Being special
4. Majestic(   )d) Being devoted
5. Unique(   )e) Being strong
6. Fierce(   )f) Being kind
7. Dedicated(   )g) Being brave
The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

5. Unique — c) Being special

Unique means being special — there is no other one like it.

A stronger word than “different”: Two things can be different from each other, and there may still be many like them. Unique means there is only one of its kind anywhere.
From the lesson: the fort has a “unique style of construction” (page 127), and the saree borders are “unique reversible borders” (page 131).
Q6.
C. Match the following.
6. Fierce (   )
A B
1. Kindness(   )a) Being wise
2. Bravery(   )b) Being royal
3. Wisdom(   )c) Being special
4. Majestic(   )d) Being devoted
5. Unique(   )e) Being strong
6. Fierce(   )f) Being kind
7. Dedicated(   )g) Being brave
The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

6. Fierce — e) Being strong

By the time you reach this one, five meanings are already used up — wise, royal, special, kind and brave. Only being strong and being devoted are left. Devoted belongs to dedicated, so fierce takes e) Being strong.

How to do the last few: In a matching exercise, cross off each meaning as you use it. The words you were not sure about become easy, because there are only one or two choices left.
A little more about this word: Fierce really means very strong and angry-looking — a fierce lion, a fierce storm. Of the seven meanings the book gives, being strong is the closest one, so that is the answer here.

Your own sentence: A fierce wind blew all the papers off the table.

Q7.
C. Match the following.
7. Dedicated (   )
A B
1. Kindness(   )a) Being wise
2. Bravery(   )b) Being royal
3. Wisdom(   )c) Being special
4. Majestic(   )d) Being devoted
5. Unique(   )e) Being strong
6. Fierce(   )f) Being kind
7. Dedicated(   )g) Being brave
The two columns exactly as they are printed on page 130. Column B is not in the same order as column A.
Answer

7. Dedicated — d) Being devoted

Dedicated and devoted mean the same thing. A dedicated person gives all her time and care to one work and does not give it up.

Why this fits the Queen: Ahilya Bai did not build one well and stop. She “protected her people and built temples, schools, and wells”. Doing that year after year is what being dedicated means.
