Advertisements
उत्तर १
Mr. Gilman was the principal of the Cambridge School for Young Ladies. Apart from Frau Grote, he was the only teacher who had learned the finger alphabet to instruct Helen in her studies. Mr. Gilman instructed her for a part of the year in English literature. Mr. Gilman's broad views on history and literature and his clever explanations made Helen's work easier and more pleasant. Mr. Gilman read all the papers to her by means of the manual alphabet. He sat beside her and read the examination papers sentence by sentence. He spelled out to her what she had written so that she could make the necessary changes. Mr. Gilman was the person who sent her written work to the examiners with the certificate that Helen, candidate No.233 had written the papers. However, he thought that Helen was overworked even though Miss Sullivan believed otherwise. In the end, Helen's mother withdrew her from the school due to a difference of opinion between the two teachers. Mr. Gilman had helped Helen but he underestimated her potential for hard work
उत्तर २
Mr Arthur Gilman, the principle of Cambridge school of young Ladies, was a thoughtful person and a kind teacher. Helen met him when she joined Cambridge while preparing to gain admission into Radcliffe. He helped Helen in many ways. He not only taught her but also interpreted texts for her. He was her mentor and her guide. He generously made concessions to allow Helen’s sister Mildred to study in Cambridge. He read texts with her like Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’. He constantly stoked Helen’s interest in studies and kept her motivated throughout her course. But their friendship fell apart due to the difference of opinion with Miss Sullivan.

Identify one example of a main clause and one example of a dependent clause from the content below:
Troy was filled with the sight of leaping flames and the sound of shouting and the noise of weapons and the cries of weeping women. The sleeping Trojans sprang out of their beds, but they were taken by surprise. Their enemies were right inside their walls, and many of the Trojans were killed before they could put on their armour and seize their weapons.
A bright light lit up the night sky as palaces and houses, temples and towers, went up in flames. The Trojans fought as well as they could, but it was all in vain. Old King Priam was killed with all his brave sons. Hector’s wife and his old mother and sister were carried off as slaves by the conquerors. Their fate was in contrast to Helen’s when King Menelaus rushed through the city, looking for her, and found her in her palace. She hung her head in shame and sorrow as she faced her former husband. Her voice was choked with emotion and she could not speak. But Menelaus forgave her and she went back with him, for it was only Aphrodite who had turned her heart away from her home and her husband and her child.
When morning came, nothing was left of the proud, rich city that had resisted attack for ten years.
