How to Tell Wild Animals NCERT Text Book Questions and Answers<\/h3>\n

How to Tell Wild Animals Thinking about the Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nDoes \u2018Dyin\u2019 really rhyme with \u2018lion\u2019? Can you say it in such a way that it does?
\nAnswer:
\nNo, \u2018Dyin\u2019 does not rhyme with lion. If we try to change the pronunciation of lion a bit by speaking it as \u2018line\u2019 then it may rhyme with the word \u2018dyin\u2019.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nHow does the poet suggest that you identify the lion and the tiger? When can you do so according to him?
\nAnswer:
\nAccording to the poet the lion roars while his prey is dying whereas the tiger is quiet. They can be guessed at the time of eating.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nDo you think the words \u2018lept\u2019 and \u2018lep\u2019 in the third stanza are spelt correctly? Why does the poet spell them like this?
\nAnswer:
\nThe words \u2018lept\u2019 and \u2018lep\u2019 are not spelt correctly. The correct spelling of the words \u2018lept\u2019 is \u2018leapt\u2019 and \u2018lep\u2019 is leap but the poet is creating a sense of humour by making it closer to the word \u2018Leopard\u2019.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nDo you know what a \u2018bearhug\u2019 is? It\u2019s a friendly and strong hug – such as bears are thought to give, as they attack you! Again, hyenas are thought to laugh and crocodiles to weep (\u2018crocodile tears\u2019) as they swallow their victims. Are there similar expressions and popular ideas about wild animals in your own language(s)?
\nAnswer:
\nA bearhug is when the bear clasps his prey tightly with both hands or paws to press him to death. There are similar expressions in our language as in English, for example:
\nHathi ke daant dikhane ke aur, khane ke aur.
\nKoulhu Ka Bel
\nGirgit Ki tarah rang badalana.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nLook at the line \u201cA novice might nonplus\u201d. How would you write this \u2018correctly\u2019? Why is the poet\u2019s \u2018incorrect\u2019 line better in the poem?
\nAnswer:
\nThe line \u2018A Novice might nonplus\u2019 would be written correctly as \u2018A Novice might be nonplussed\u2019? The poet has made an effort to use \u2018nonplus\u2019 as a rhyming word with \u2018thus\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nCan you find other examples of poets taking liberties with language, either in English or in your own language? Can you find examples of humorous poems in your own language(s)?
\nAnswer:
\nYes, the poet sometimes takes liberties with language.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nMuch of the humour in the poem arises from the way language is used. Although the ideas are funny as well. If there are particular lines in the poem that you especially like, share these lines with the class, speaking briefly about what it is about the ideas or the language that you like or find funny.
\nAnswer:
\nThe poet has written the poem with a good sense of humour either due to ideas or language. The lines which appear to be very humorous are \u2018just notice if he eats you\u2019. The very idea of noticing at the time when he is about to eat is very funny. The language in the line, \u201cHe\u2019ll only lep and lep again\u201d is also very humorous. The concept of \u2018lep\u2019 from the word \u2018leopard\u2019 generates humour.<\/p>\n

How to Tell Wild Animals Long Answer Question<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\n\u2018Appearances are deceptive.\u2019 Cite examples from the poem, \u2018How to Tell Wild Animals\u2019, to corroborate this statement.
\nAnswer:
\nEncountering the Asian Lion will be by hearing its roar while dying. Meeting an animal with black stripes on a yellow ground he should ensure that he is not eaten, as he has encountered a Bengal Tiger. When a beast with skin peppered with spots leaps on the person that would be an encounter ‘ with a leopard. Roaring in pain is futile, because the animal will \u2018lep and lep\u2019. Similarly, a hug in the dark, would be a bear. When confused between a crocodile and a hyena, the former would emit a merry smile, while the latter would weep tears. Chameleons appear not like lizard-like creatures with no ears, but as nothing on a tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
