प्रश्न
Valli’s unique maiden bus ride experience could be possible because she belonged to a small village. Do you agree? Why?/Why not? (2 reasons)
Advertisements
उत्तर
Agree:
- A bus ride seemed like a fascinating means of recreation and adventure - unlike cities and bigger towns.
- She could travel alone safely - unfortunately, not recommended in larger townships or cities.
- There was only one bus that Valli observed several times - cities have varied means of transport that might seem more adventurous.
Disagree:
- Fascination for riding a bus or an automobile can exist in children of Valli’s age even in big cities.
- Travelling unnoticed is easier in large cities than in small towns or villages due to familiarity.
- Cities would offer more opportunities for a bus ride due to availability and frequency of several buses on the same route.
