Q1.
Circle the odd one. The characters are: husband, wife, children
Answer
Circle: children
Only two people are lying awake in the house — the husband and the wife. There are no children in the story at all. In fact the couple are still hoping for a child: the wife asks, “What should we name our child?” and the husband answers, “If he is a boy we'll call him Rama.” That imaginary child is the heart of their trick.
Q2.
Circle the odd one. Who entered the house? guest, robber, Kotwal
Answer
Circle: guest
Two people enter the house that night, and neither of them is invited. First the robber digs a hole through the wall and creeps in — “Some thief has dug his way into this house.” Later the kotwal Rama crawls in through the same hole to catch him. A guest is someone who is welcomed at the door, and nobody like that comes to the house at all.
