Q1.
Write whether True or False. The man tells his plan to his wife.
Answer
True.
When the wife whispers, “What should we do?”, the man answers, “I'll tell you. Listen…” — and from that moment the two of them begin the pretended conversation about naming their child ‘Rama’. The plan is his idea, and he explains it to her under the blanket so that the thief cannot hear.
Q2.
Write whether True or False. The thief wants to know where they kept their jewels.
Answer
False.
The thief is thinking about their money, not their jewels. Hiding behind the wooden chest he thinks, “I wonder where they keep their money,” and a little later, “I wish they would stop this silly game and talk about their money instead.” The word jewels never appears in the story.
Tip: In a True/False question, look for the one word that has been changed. Here everything is right except jewels — and that single word makes the whole statement false.
