Q1.
Select whether this statement is correct: The mother was surprised to know that Peepal Baba had planted trees all over the country.
Answer

Correct.

Her surprise is heard in her question: “How did he plant so many trees all over the country as a child?” She cannot believe that one boy managed to plant trees in city after city.

Q2.
Select whether this statement is correct: The mother disliked the work being done by Peepal Baba.
Answer

Not correct.

She admires him throughout. She says “That's wonderful” when she first hears about him, and at the end, “He is really doing great work. We should learn from him and plant more trees.”

Q3.
Select whether this statement is correct: The mother wanted to know more about Peepal Baba.
Answer

Correct.

She asks four questions one after another — “Who is he and what does he do?”, “Where did he get this idea from?”, “How did he plant so many trees…?” and “But how did he come to be known as Peepal Baba?” Only someone who wants to know more asks so many questions.

Q4.
Select whether this statement is correct: The boy decided to take care of trees by listening to Peepal Baba's journey.
Answer

Correct.

The story his teacher told him changes what Rahul intends to do. When his mother says, “We should learn from him and plant more trees,” he answers at once, “Yes, Maa. We must tell others to do the same.”

Q5.
Select whether this statement is correct: The boy was worried about what his teacher had told him.
Answer

Not correct.

Rahul is excited, not worried. He begins the conversation eagerly — “Maa, have you heard about Peepal Baba? Our teacher told us about him today” — and then happily explains everything he has learnt.

So the correct statements are 1, 3 and 4. Statements 2 and 5 are wrong.
