Q1.
Now, add the descriptions/describing words for the following:
…………………………… mangoes
Answer

sweet mangoes

This time the naming word is given. You must put a describing word in front of it.

Other correct answers: ripe mangoes, juicy mangoes, yellow mangoes, tasty mangoes.

Why the describing word goes in front: In English, the describing word comes before the naming word — we say sweet mangoes, never “mangoes sweet”. Look at the poem: “rocky ground”, “cheerful children”. The describing word is always first.
Tip: Use your senses to find a describing word. How does it taste? sweet. How does it look? yellow. How does it feel? soft. Any of these works.

Your own sentence: We ate sweet mangoes under the tree in the afternoon.

Q2.
Now, add the descriptions/describing words for the following:
…………………………… baby
Answer

cute baby

Other correct answers: tiny baby, sleeping baby, happy baby, lovely baby, crying baby.

Why cute: A baby is small and lovely to look at. The word cute says exactly that in one short word.
Tip: A describing word need not always be a nice one. “Crying baby” and “sleepy baby” are also correct, because they too tell us more about the baby.

Your own sentence: The cute baby smiled at everyone in the bus.

Q3.
Now, add the descriptions/describing words for the following:
…………………………… nation
Answer

fit nation

Other correct answers: great nation, strong nation, proud nation, healthy nation, peaceful nation.

Why fit is the best answer here: Look at the name of your chapter — Fit Body, Fit Mind, Fit Nation. The book has already used this very pair. When children have fit bodies and fit minds, the whole country becomes a fit nation.
Tip: Words like nation, country and village take big, proud describing words — great, strong, beautiful, peaceful. Choose one that sounds respectful.

Your own sentence: Playing every day will make ours a fit nation.

Q4.
Now, add the descriptions/describing words for the following:
…………………………… winner
Answer

proud winner

Other correct answers: happy winner, swift winner, brave winner, cheerful winner, lucky winner.

Why proud: A winner feels happy about something she did well. The word for that feeling is proudly, one of the New Words on page 68. Shabana is exactly this — she wins a cycle race and “happily celebrates her fastest pace”.
Tip: Four words from this chapter itself make good answers here — proud, swift, cheerful and brave. Using a new word from your own chapter is always a smart choice.

Your own sentence: The proud winner held up her medal for all to see.

All four together:

Tip from your book: “A word that tells you more about a noun is known as an adjective. Example: Blue sky, hardworking children.” All eight words you have written in part B — happy, red, fierce, beautiful, sweet, cute, fit, proud — are adjectives.
