Q1.
B. Let’s unscramble the letters as per the meaning of the words given.
1. Hint: “a place or region beyond a boundary”
D E O T I U S
Answer

The word is OUTSIDE.

D E O T I U S  →  O U T S I D E

How to find it: The hint says “beyond a boundary”. Anything past the boundary line is outside. Now check the letters: O, U, T, S, I, D, E — all seven are there, and none is left over.

Where the word comes from in the story: Ravi says at the very start, “Let’s go and play outside; it’s a sunny day.” And Imran says the players “are not supposed to go beyond the boundary” — that is, not to go outside it.

Your own sentence: The ball rolled outside the boundary line.

Q2.
B. Let’s unscramble the letters as per the meaning of the words given.
2. Hint: “to raise your hand and move it from side to side as a way of greeting someone”
V E A W
Answer

The word is WAVE.

V E A W  →  W A V E

How to find it: Only four letters, and a word needs a vowel between them. Try the W first: W–A–V–E fits both the letters and the hint.

Where the word comes from in the story: “A few children were playing there. They waved at Ravi. Ravi waved back.” That is how the friends said hello before a single word was spoken.
Did you know? The same word wave also names the water that rolls on to a beach. One spelling, two meanings.

Your own sentence: I wave to my grandmother every morning from the bus.

Q3.
B. Let’s unscramble the letters as per the meaning of the words given.
3. Hint: “a sports competition or event in which two people or two teams compete against each other”
H M T A C
Answer

The word is MATCH.

H M T A C  →  M A T C H

How to find it: The hint says two teams play against each other. That is a match. The letters M, A, T, C, H are all there. Match is also one of the New Words on page 80.

Where the word comes from in the story: Guneet begins the whole story with it: “Tomorrow is the Lagori match.”

Your own sentence: We watched a cricket match on Sunday.

Q4.
B. Let’s unscramble the letters as per the meaning of the words given.
4. Hint: “a child of a person’s aunt or uncle”
I O U N S C
Answer

The word is COUSIN.

I O U N S C  →  C O U S I N

How to find it: Your uncle’s or aunt’s child is your cousin. Check the six letters: C, O, U, S, I, N. They all fit.

Where the word comes from in the story: “Ravi waved back and introduced Prakash as his cousin to all his friends.” That is why Prakash was new to the village and had never heard of Lagori.
Tip from the book: The word cousin is used for a boy and for a girl. So we do not say “cousin brother” or “cousin sister”. We simply say my cousin.

Your own sentence: My cousin from Jaipur is staying with us this week.
