From either of our two Indian epics, find out which battle/war lasted the longest? Write down about its cause, the enemy armies, its heroes, its duration and the final outcome.
Answer:
Mahabharat
1. Cause: Kauravas took possession of the kingdom of Hastinapur forcibly, which rightfully belonged to Pandavas and they were not ready to give even an inch of the land to Pandavas. So, it led to the outbreak of the war.

Kauravas: 100 Kaurava brothers and many friendly kings like Shakuni, Shalya, Kama, etc. with their armies.
Pandavas: 5 Pandavas, Kashiraja, King Drupad, King Virat, Dhrushtadhyumna, etc. and their armies.

(a) Paris had brought her to Troy.
(b) The Greeks waited to take revenge on Troy.
(c) The Greek armies sailed to Troy.

Here, we see that the ‘-ing’ form of the verb ‘fight’ is used as a subject in ‘The fighting went on’. It does the work of a noun. When the ‘-ing’ form of a verb is used as a noun, it is known as a gerund or verbal noun.

  1. Gardening is an art.
  2. Cooking is a science.
  3. I enjoy reading poems.
  4. I like writing, too.

Rewrite the above sentences using other appropriate gerunds in place of the ones given here.

Question 1.
Form pairs. Imagine you are a pair of Trojans and you have come to know about Odysseus’s plan. Make a counter plan to defeat the Greeks. Write down your plan as you explain to your fellow Trojans:
Answer:
While observing the large wooden horse, I heard some movements inside it. Friends, I am sure it is some trick to attack our city at night. Their great heroes must be inside the horse. They have not sailed away. They must be somewhere near and will return only when they will get the signal from the Greeks in the horse.

Friends, they will not get the signals from them. Look, we shall get bundles of ropes and tie the ropes tightly around the whole of the horse, so that no one would be able to come out and give signals. That Greek man also is in my custody. We shall arrange heavy barricades to close our wall gates. We shall take this opportunity to lift their siege.

We shall hold these heroes in the horse to ransom, in order to force them to lift the siege, surrender and leave our shore. Let’s come together and implement this plan immediately.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 My English Coursebook Solutions Chapter 3.2 The Fall of Troy

Language Study:

6. Refer to the Language Study pages and read the following entries:

Question (a)
Refer to the Language Study pages and read the following entries:

  1. word
  2. phrase
  3. clause
  4. sentence

Question (b)
A phrase is a meaningful group of words. Read the following phrases :

  • the wise Odysseus
  • a great horse of wood
  • a skilful engineer
  • the greatest heroes
  • the secret of opening and shutting the entrance
  • on the seashore outside the walls
  • in the darkness
  • watching for the return of the fleet
  • part of their strong wall

Question 1.
Write three phrases on your own.
All the above phrases are parts of sentences they do not form a complete sentence by themselves. A sentence expresses a complete idea. You know that it has a subject and a predicate. A sentence has at least one finite verb in it.

Read the following examples:

  • The tents had been burnt.
  • The shore was deserted.
  • The Greek ships had all gone.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 My English Coursebook Solutions Chapter 3.2 The Fall of Troy

2. Write three sentences using your own ideas.

Question (c)
When we read the story of ‘The Fall of Troy’, we see that here (as elsewhere), many sentences express two or more complete ideas linked together. For example,

  1. When the Trojans dragged him out, the man pretended to be very frightened of them.
  2. They wanted also to kill me and offer me as a sacrifice to the sea-god but I escaped and hid from them.
  3. In the darkness the fleet sailed back, and the leading ship, which was Agamemnon’s, bore a red light high on its mast.

All these sentences consist of clauses. A clause has a subject and a verb. Some clauses can stand by themselves as a complete sentence.
Example: The man pretended to be frightened of them.

But some clauses do not make complete sense by themselves.
Example: When the Trojans dragged him out
It is only when we read the entire sentence that we understand what is being said.

Thus, we have seen that a clause is a part of a sentence and there are two types of clauses:
(a) Main clause – It can stand by itself.
(b) Subordinate or dependent clause : It depends on the main clause, and is incomplete without it.

Note that a sentence can have two or more main clauses or a main clause and one or more dependent clauses, but we cannot have a sentence without a main clause.

Question 3.
Identify one example of a main clause and one example of a dependent clause from page 74.

Question 4.
How did the cunning Greek explain the presence of such a large wooden horse?

Personal Response:

Question 1.
Do you know one of the wars in ancient India was fought over a woman? Describe it in short.
Answer:
I know such a war was fought between Ram and Ravan. Ravan, the demon king of Lanka, came in disguise as a Sadhu and forcefully took away Seeta, the wife of Ram. Ram with his monkey army reached Lanka. He fought against Ravan, defeated him and killed Ravan and brought back Seeta to Ayodhya.

Question 2.
Why, do you think, did the Greeks burn their tents?
Answer:
The Greeks burnt their tents to show the Trojans that they have left for Greece and did not wish to continue the siege any more. They wanted them (Trojans) to be careless and carefree about the Greek attack and their army.

Question 3.
Was it enough to use the wooden horse to hide some soldiers? What was done to make the Trojans take it inside the city?
Answer:
No, it was not enough to use it for hiding some soldiers. The Greeks wanted their entry into the city with all their army men. Unless the walls around the city were broken down they would not have got that opportunity. That’s why they made the horse very large and lured the Trojans to take it inside the city by breaking the walls.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 My English Coursebook Solutions Chapter 3.2 The Fall of Troy

Question 4.
Was the big wooden horse really an offering to the god of the sea?
Answer:
No, the big wooden horse really was not an offering to the god of the sea. It was a false tale of the Greek who was found under the big horse by the Trojans. It was told to lure the Trojans for taking the horse inside the city for sudden attack without their knowledge.

Question 5.
Why, do you think, were the Trojans so excited?
Answer:
I think, the Trojans thought that the siege by the Greeks was lifted and there would be no war any more. Again they thought that they were bringing in good luck for the city by presence of the wooden horse. They did not think of the impending danger.

Question 6.
Do you think that the conquerors of war are happy after their victory?
Answer:
No, I don’t think so. Both defeated and victorious countries have to bear the brunt of war. Both have to suffer because of the disastrous consequences they face. Both suffer the loss of lives, money, peace and so many other things. It takes a long time for both to regain their normal life.

Dear Gogate madam,

I take this opportunity to thank you from my bottom of heart for whatever you have done for me and to improve my English skills. I think words fail me toexpress my gratitude.

Madam, when I saw this new book for the first time, I was worried as I didn’t understand how to study it and improve my writing and speaking skills. But while taking activities of every lesson and poem you not only boosted our courage but also made us confident to write and speak English fluently.

While taking activities, you gave opportunity to every one, so that we could think, imagine and express. At the same time by, taking activities based on vocabulary and grammar you laid a good foundation of it. Now, each and every student of our class wishes to learn English on their own. You created interest in learning the language.

I am really proud to say that throughout the journey of my life, I will be thankful for your efforts taken for the development of our language. I am sure, only because of your support and help I can now speak and write English fluently.

Thank you for the guidance you have given throughout the year and for making it so wonderful. I will forever be obliged to you.

Yours obediently,
Ishan More

7. Write a short note on your mother tongue and the attempts you make to study it well.

Question 1.
Write a short note on your mother tongue and the attempts you make to study it well.
Answer:
My mother tongue is Marathi. It is spoken all over Maharashtra. Konkani, Malvani, Ahirani, Varhadi are some of the dialects of Marathi. According to many writers and philosophers, it is the most beautiful language in India.

The moment when I heard the first Marathi word ‘Aai’, I have been learning this language till today. I learnt it from my parents, grandparents, neighbours and my Marathi teachers. I read a lots of books including novels of renowned authors in Marathi. People say Marathi is rich in its literature. By reading Marathi newspapers, magazines and by listening Marathi news bulletins I improved my vocabulary and even the beauty of structure. Being my mother tongue, I haven’t taken any special efforts to learn this language as I learnt it from my surroundings.

8. Write points and counter points on the following topics:

Question 1.
You should study all subjects in your mother tongue:
Answer:
Points:
1. Language is a symbol that reflects the culture of one’s community and ethnic identity and speaking in one’s own mother tongue can create a sense of personal identity for the students across the globe.
2. When students don’t understand the instructions given by the teachers in English they lose their confidence and they either choose to sit silently or repeat mechanically, leading to frustration and ultimately repetition, failure and school drop out.

Counterpoints:

1. India is a country with too many languages with some being state specific and Hindi being the national language. English being an international language has now become language connecting the whole of India. On the other hand, we have our mother tongues which teach the kids about our culture and about our past.

2. If the instructions are given in mother tongue then the question arises, “How will they cope up with English later on? The educationists and policy makers need to give it a thought.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 My English Coursebook Solutions Chapter 4.5 The Last Lesson

Question 2.
You must memorise the rules of grammar : Points:
Answer:
1. Language is the base of almost everything we do as human beings. We cannot communicate without language. If we want to understand linguistic dimension of our existence we need to learn the rules and regulations of grammar as it is fundamental organizing principle of language.
2. It has been observed that the explicit teaching of grammar rules leads to better learning and understanding and this lasts over time. Learning about grammar provides basic knowledge for learning other languages.
Counterpoints:
1. The difference between a literate and educated person is that an educated person knows to read and write. Anyone who knows to read and write knows grammar. It is a part of learning a language. Why to take it up as a separate thing to learn and add to the stress level of the students.
2. Language is a means of communication, people have been communicating with each other for ages. Functional grammar is still acceptable but learning rules looks like wastage of time and energy. There are pros and cons of everything and so is of learning grammar rules. I think that at least the basics of grammar should be taught till primary level and then we can shift to functional grammer.

    He told us a story that was funny. (Adjective clause)

Complex Factual Activities:

Question 1.
What does the narrator tell you about the two fences that you have to pass before speaking a word?
Answer:
The narrator tells us that if you have to speak even a single word, that word must pass through two fences (walls). The first one is of our two rows of the teeth and the second is of our two lips. Before a word can be spoken, it has to pass/ pierce through these two fences or walls. Therefore we must think carefully before we utter a word or speak something.

Question 2.
What were a wise man’s thoughts about our spoken word?
Answer:
The wise man thought that you are the slave of your spoken word. Once you have spoken a word you cannot get it back whatever you do. Therefore you must be careful about the word that you choose for speaking. Once the word has left your lips, you will not be able to get it back; you cannot take it back; you cannot change it or control it.

Question 3.
How did the spiritual teacher teach a lesson to the young man about his harsh and unkind words to his friend?
Answer:
The teacher gave the young man a sheet of paper and a pen and asked him to write down all the harsh, unkind words he had spoken to his friend. When he had written, the teacher asked him to tear up the sheet of paper into many small bits and throw them out of the window. As he did this he asked him to collect all the tiny bits of paper.

The young man tried his best but could not collect a single torn bit of paper because they were scattered far and wide. The teacher told the young man that the spoken words are like the bits of paper; they cannot be taken back and advised him to think before he spoke.

Personal Response:

Question 1.
Was Disraeli trying to give a scientific reason? Was he only trying to give a message in lighthearted but effective way?
Answer:
Disraeli was not trying to give any scientific reason about man having two ears and one mouth. It was good for mankind. If man had two mouths and one ear he would have talked more and listened less and appearance of his face would have strangely changed. He wanted to give a lighthearted and playful message that man should talk less and listen more.

Question 2.
Write the biological reasons why man’s ears and mouth have developed the way they are now.
Answer:
Ears are sense organs that interpret sounds. Two ears will function better by capturing sounds from everywhere. Mouth is basically for feeding in all animals. It should be a single one. It then leads to food pipe to carry swallowed food inside the body. With a single mouth, feeding is easier. However, ears should be two to gather all sound signals.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 My English Coursebook Solutions Chapter 3.4 Think Before You Speak!

Question 3.
What do you do when someone speaks to you angrily. Do you also speak angrily?
Answer:
When someone speaks to me angrily, I try to keep my calm because I know that angry words lead to quarrels and fights. Fire of anger always takes a bad turn and becomes worst. I at first try to pacify the person talking harshly to me or then keep quiet without speaking a word with him.

Question 4.
Have you ever passed on an empty remark or vain statement that might hurt someone else? What can you do to avoid doing it again ?
Answer:
I was very proud of my fair colour. Once I, jokingly, passed some nasty remark on one of my friends, about his dark colour. He was greatly hurt and stopped talking with me; he started avoiding me and our friendship was lost.

I realised that I shouldn’t have passed such a vain remark. I have now decided to avoid passing such remarks. I can avoid speaking without thinking. I can stop jeering at others. I can change my attitude and speak sweetly and kindly to everyone.

मालतीने आरडाओरडा करायला सुरुवात केली तेव्हा चोरानेही कांगावा केला की, मी तुमचा बैल कशाला घेऊ? मी या बैलाला लहानाचा मोठा केलाय. हा माझाच बैल आहे. मालतीच्या लक्षात आले की, चोर सहजासहजी आपल्याला बैल देण्यास तयार होणार नाही. म्हणून तिने बैल मिळवण्यासाठी युक्ती करायचे ठरवले.

प्रश्न (उ)
मालतीने कोणती युक्ती केली?
उत्तर:
गुरांच्या बाजारात मालती-मलण्णाला त्यांचा चोरलेला बैल दिसला. चोराला सांगूनही तो चोरीची कबुली दयायला तयार होईना, तेव्हा मालतीने झटकन बैलाच्या डोक्यावर हात ठेवला व त्याला प्रश्न विचारला, “सांग बरं, याचा कोणता डोळा अधूआहे, डावा की उजवा?” चोर म्हणाला, “माझ्या बैलाचा डावा डोळा अधूआहे.” यावर मालतीने ते तपासून घेऊ, असे चोराला म्हटले आणि चोर त्यात अडकला. कारण मालतीच्या बैलाचे दोन्ही डोळे चांगले होते. चोर पकडण्यासाठी मालतीने ही युक्ती केली.

प्रश्न (ऊ)
चोराची भंबेरी का उडाली?
उत्तर:
मालतीची युक्ती कामी आली आणि चोराची लबाडी उघड झाली. चोराने खोटेपणाने सांगितले की, “माझ्या बैलाचा डावा डोळा अधू आहे.” पण प्रत्यक्षात मात्र मालतीच्या बैलांचे दोन्ही डोळे चांगले होते. अशाप्रकारे लोकांसमोर चोराची लबाडी उघडकीस आल्यामुळे चोराची भंबेरी उडाली.

विठ्ठल चार वर्षांचा असताना दक्षिण भारतात महाभयंकर दुष्काळ पडला होता. पण त्यांच्या मळ्यात मात्र मक्याचे चांगले पीक आलेले होते. त्याचे आजोबा दानशूर होते. रोज सकाळी ते कट्ट्यावर बसत व गोरगरिबांना मक्याचे दाणे वाटत असत. त्यावेळी विठ्ठलही त्यांना या कामात मदत करत असे, या गोष्टीवरून आजोबांचा दानशूरपणा विठ्ठलमध्ये दिसून येतो.
