Do you think Shaana's Appa and Amma enjoyed themselves, just like children do? Support your answer with evidence from the text.

Correct Answer

Yes, Shaana's Appa and Amma enjoyed themselves just like children do. Several instances from the text support this.

In Kashmir, the text states that 'Appa and Amma love it here, and they like throwing snowballs at each other,' showing playful behaviour.

At the Sundarbans, they took Shaana boating and showed excitement about wildlife.

In Goa, Shaana mentions that 'Amma and Appa splashed water on each other and behaved like children,' and she humorously adds that 'It's a good thing I was there to control them.'

At the Narmada river, despite Appa being scared of rafting, they participated in adventurous activities.

These examples show that the parents were enthusiastic, playful, and fully engaged in the travel experience, enjoying themselves with childlike wonder and excitement.
