उत्तर
(i) "I", here, is Ricky Braithwaite. He has been appointed as a teacher to the Greenslade School. He enters the class in an anticipatory mood as he has just decided on an approach to teach a class of students who are unmotivated to learn.
(ii) At this moment, the narrator, Ricky Braithwaite, expected his students to interact with him like responsible, reasonable adults. He tells his pupils that he would like them to listen to what he has to say without interrupting him and he would, then, return the same favor.
(iii) Soon after the narrator had said this, Pamela Dare, a student rushed into his class. She was extremely late for the class and had entered the class in an extremely insolent manner. This behavior of Miss Dare angered the narrator. The narrator challenges Miss Dare to show the class how to enter a classroom in a controlled and dignified manner.
(iv)
(v) The narrator expected the boys to address the girls as 'Miss'. He expected the boys to be clean and tidy in their appearance and their general behavior and deportment must be 'top of the class'.
The children paid attention to the narrator while he was talking about his expectations and they one or two questions to ask the narrator afterward. The students mentioned how Mr. Weston, another teacher, is untidy in his appearance and murmured their dissent when the narrator stated that another teacher is not a topic of discussion for them.
