उत्तर
(a) Saheb's name meant "lord of the universe," and ironically this lord ran about barefoot across the city, searching garbage bins and was abject to extreme poverty.
(b) Gandhi opposed to C.F. Andrew helping him in Champaran because of the following possible reasons
(i) he wanted to mould 'a new free Indian' and wanted them to stand on their own feet.
(ii) he didn't want Indians to take the help of an Englishman in their struggle for freedom. So he taught a lesson in self-reliance.
(c) The trembling hands of Aunt Jennifer because of the weight of the 'wedding ring' shows that she still is a victim of male chauvinism. Even her death won't free her from her ordeal as she will still be wearing the ring that symbolizes her failed marriage.
(d) The poet wants the children to be taken out from the slums they are living in and venture into the outside world. He wants them to be taken where they not only get the opportunity to study from books and to play in the open field. The poet wants freedom for the slum children from the present confines.
(e) The astrologers declared that the death of the prince would come from the tiger. It was terrifying to hear the prince utter the words “Let tigers beware!”. He then decided to kill one hundred tigers, and later received the title of 'Tiger King'. This proves the irony of the prophecy made when he was only ten days old.
(f) Sadao's education was the chief concern of his father. He sent Sadao to America at the age of twenty-two learn medicine and surgery. Sadao came up to his father's expectations. It made his father proud to see his son come back not just as a doctor, but also as a well-knew scientist in Japan.
