Q1.
B. Rearrange the words to form meaningful sentences.
1. boundary / field / is / the / marked / a / with
Answer

The field is marked with a boundary.

How to build it:

  1. Find the naming word first — field. Put the in front of it: The field.
  2. Find the doing part — is marked.
  3. The rest tells us how: with a boundary.
Where you have read it before: This is Imran’s own line on page 76: “The field is marked with a boundary.” Rearranging is easier when you remember the sentence from the story.
Tip: Begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. The book has left the full stop on the dotted line for you.
Q2.
B. Rearrange the words to form meaningful sentences.
2. looked / prakash / at / surprise / everybody/with
Answer

Everybody looked at Prakash with surprise.

How to build it: Ask who did something — Everybody. Then what they did — looked. Then at whom — at Prakash. Then how — with surprise.

Where you have read it before: Page 74 says, “(Everybody looked at Prakash with great surprise.)” They were surprised because every child in Sundarpur knows Lagori, and Prakash had never even heard of it.
Spelling: The book prints prakash with a small p. A person’s name always takes a capital letter, so write Prakash.
Q3.
B. Rearrange the words to form meaningful sentences.
3. peacock / saw / a / dancing / I / the / in / rain
Answer

I saw a peacock dancing in the rain.

How to build it:

  1. Who? — I.
  2. Did what? — saw.
  3. Saw what? — a peacock.
  4. Doing what? — dancing.
  5. Where? — in the rain.
Why this order: English sentences usually run who → does what → to whom or what → where. Follow that order and the words fall into place almost by themselves.
Q4.
B. Rearrange the words to form meaningful sentences.
4. white / there / and / grey / are / the / clouds / sky / in
Answer

There are white and grey clouds in the sky.

How to build it: The words there and are go together at the start — There are. Then say what there are: white and grey clouds. Then where: in the sky.

Why we say “There are” and not “There is”: There is more than one cloud. For one thing we say There is a cloud. For many things we say There are clouds.
Q5.
B. Rearrange the words to form meaningful sentences.
5. fresh / need / every day / water / plants
Answer

Plants need fresh water every day.

How to build it: Who? — Plants. Need what? — fresh water. How often? — every day.

Where the word fresh goes: A word that describes a thing comes just before that thing: fresh water, grey clouds, flat stones. We never say “water fresh”.
