Analysis

Following is the analysis of this chapter –

  1. In previous 4 years, there are 10 questions that came in the board examinations & only 2 questions were repeated in previous 4 years.
  2. You will find it surprising that term Valli can be found in each question. This signifies that whole chapter is revolving around Valli. Hence student must learn the character-sketch of Valli i.e. her hobbies, pastime, fantasy, nature and behavior. This will help answering maximum questions from this chapter.
  3. This chapter is a boon for all students who found themselves weak in sentence formation, Maximum questions that were asked in board examinations were short-answer type in nature.
  4. Question 7 & 8 were repeated in year 2020. In these questions – we must understand that Valli was travelling alone in the bus hence she kept the confidence and attitude intact. This was the reason Conductor called her madam. She did not come out from the bus to take any drink because she does not have extra money. This means she plans the trip effectively.
