He is always lost in thought and has deep, sunken eyes. He has lines on his forehead because of all the thinking, and his head is shaped like a dome. This shows that he is very intelligent.<\/p>\n<p>Lost in thought, he has no time for the practical things in life like combing his coat. So, his coat is dusty and uncombed. He moves stealthily like a snake from side to side. And even when he seems to be sleeping, he is wide awake, and is completely aware of what is happening around him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/NCERT-Solutions.png?resize=180%2C18&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Honeydew Poem 3 Macavity : The Mystery Cat\" width=\"180\" height=\"18\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nSay \u2018False\u2019or \u2018True for each of the following statements.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Macavity is not an ordinary cat.

If so, why does he call Macavity a fiend and monster?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nYes, the poet is fond of cats. He talks about Macavity in an endearing manner. He gives a depth of character to an ordinary ginger cat and makes it seem like an extraordinary one. He calls it a fiend and monster to make us believe that the cat has supernatural powers and is not an ordinary cat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/NCERT-Solutions.png?resize=180%2C18&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Honeydew Poem 3 Macavity : The Mystery Cat\" width=\"180\" height=\"18\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 7.<br \/>\nHas the poet used exaggeration for special effect?
