Read the following passage and do the given activities:
A.1) True or False
State whether the following statements are true or false:
(i) The patient stirred and looked about in cheerful anticipation
(ii) The patient’s wife wanted to know the truth …………
The lady went away to the kitchen. She felt restless. She felt she must know the truth whatever it was. Why was the great man so evasive? The suspense was unbearable. Perhaps he could not speak so near the patient’s bed. She beckoned to him from the kitchen doorway.
The doctor rose and went over. She asked, “What about him now? How is he?” The doctor bit his lips and replied, looking at the floor, “Don’t get excited. Unless you must know about it, don’t ask now.” Her eyes opened wide in terror. She clasped her hands together and implored, “Tell me the truth.” The doctor replied, “I would rather not talk to you now.” He turned around and went back to his chair. terrible wailing shot through the still house; the patient stirred and looked about in bewilderment. The doctor got up again, went over to the kitchen door, drew it in securely and shut off the wail.

उत्तर
A.1)
(i) The patient stirred and looked about in cheerful anticipation. - False
(ii) The patient’s wife wanted to know the truth. - True
A.2)
(i) Her eyes opened wide in terror because the doctor was hesitant in disclosing the nature of her husband’s illness.
(ii) The lady went away to the kitchen because she was restless and wanted to know the truth.
A.3)
According to me, a doctor should be honest and upright to his duty. He plays an important role in the health condition of a person, so the doctor should always diagnose the patient with utmost care. But, nowadays the profession of a doctor seems to be high earning. The trust of the patient towards the doctors is decreasing day by day. It should not be continued.

For Want of a Nail
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost,
For want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For want of a horse, the rider was lost,
For want of a rider, the battle was lost,
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail!
