Question 7 of 23beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Write whether the following sentences are True or False.

(a)

The bird changed its house two times.

Answer

False. The bird changed its house more than two times—from the shell to the nest, then from the nest to the world of leaves, and finally beyond the tree.

(b)

The neighbours tell the bird about the world.

Answer

False. The neighbours do not tell the bird about the world; they are equally unaware of how the world is made.

Explanation

(a) The poem describes the bird's journey through multiple homes: first the 'little house' (shell), then the 'little nest' made of straw, then discovering the world of leaves, and finally flying beyond the tree. This represents three or more changes, not just two. (b) The last stanza clearly states: 'I don't know how the world is made, And neither do my neighbours.' This indicates that both the bird and its neighbours are ignorant about the true nature of the world.
