उत्तर
| e.g. I need not worry about project deadlines. | As man advances in years he ceases to be innocent. | Man doesn’t show his real feelings. | He reveals only that part of his personality that is worthy of acceptance. |
| I can wear my pajamas the whole day. | As everyone involves in a “make-believe” relationship, even good people are forced to wear masks, for the sake of keeping links alive. | The face is no more the index of the mind. It is inscrutable. | Even loud laughter could conceal a plot to topple. |
| I can sleep as long as I like. | People keep on changing their face masks like dresses. | We don’t know who are our real friends. | If we are frank, we gain real enemies and false friends. |
