The answer should be 'colder' as the sentence " I remember the days when winter used to be cold" is like saying that winter isn't cold now, which does NOT make sense as winter is definitely cold now.Option 'A' would only make sense if you're an old person and global warming has gone out of hand

Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow :
When I’m An Old Lady
When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with each kid, And bring so much happiness just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they’ve provided. Returning each deed. Oh, they’ll be so excited! I’ll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues, And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes, I’ll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I’ll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they’ll shout. When they’re on the phone and just out of reach, I’ll get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they’ll snap their fingers and then shake their head, And when that is done, I’ll hide under the bed. When they cook dinner and call me to eat, I’ll not eat my green beans and salad or meat. I’ll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, And when they get angry I’ll run if I’m able. I’ll sit close to the T.V., through the channels I’ll click I’ll cross both eyes just to see if they stick I’ll take off my socks and throw one away, And play in the mud till the end of the day. And later in bed, I’ll lay back and sigh, I’ll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes. My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping. And say with a groan, “She’s so sweet when she’s sleeping!”
–Barbara Hall
Who is the narrator of the poem?

A A young girl
B An old lady
C The grandmother
D None of these


I wrote option d but they say its option c...but the Pom starts by aging when I’m an old lady...so its a mother who is thinking and thus she is the narrator

Ans 1:

Venya from CHIREC International, Hyderabad
Class : Class 9
The answer must be D. She can't have been a young girl as not only would she not have kids but also in the first lines of the poems she says she will 'return the deeds'. She also says that she will live with her kids, hence indicating that whatever her kids did to her, she will do it to them WHEN she becomes an old lady. Again, all of this is in future tense so we cannot determine whether she is actually an old lady or if she is literally using future tense. The most apt option will be that we cannot determine her age and it is safe to say that she is a frustrated mother imagining all the things she would do when she becomes an old lady. HENCE OPTION D IS JUSTIFIED AND OPTION B IS NOT CORRECT

Ans 3:

Abhinav from BVM Global Bollineni Hillside, Chennai
Class : Class 8
No, the answer is D. This poem came in the ASSET exam and what they said the right answer was it was by a frustrated mother whom her kids kept annoying and that makes the most sense in context.

Dhairya Vinayak from Loyola High School, Patna
Class : Class 8

Ans 5:

Rishith Sunil from BVM Global BHS, Chennai
Class : Class 8
If the narrator was a young girl,she wouldn’t have children.The title of the poem is,’When I am an old lady’.So,she can’t eat an old lady/grandmother either.So,the answers none of the above(The narrator is probably a mother....)

Ans 6:

Shivapriyaa from Delhi Public School, Chennai
Class : Class 9
The name of the poem itself is “When I am an old lady”. So according to that and the first line, the answer is clearly young girl

Ans 7:

Sara Gandhi from Rustomjee Cambridge International school, Mumbai
Class : Class 8
The answer is young girl because the title says 'when I am an old lady' which means that the narrator is not yet an old lady and the poetry is in future tense.

Ans 8:

Anusha Gupta from St. Kabir, Gandhinagar
Class : Class 10
Guys The answer should be A a young girl because the title says that WHEN I AM AN OLD LADY so she is saying that she would do all this nuisance when she is a old lady and then of course it is obvious that right now she is a young girl and all this is just her imagination .But the answer key says that the answer is B an old lady So guys how can an old lady say that when i am an old lady when she IS an old lady?please clear my doubts friends

It should be a young girl1)cause of the imagination and creativity2)because of the line”when I’m an old lady”

If the narrator was a young girl,she wouldn’t have children.The title of the poem is,When I am an old lady.So,she can’t ™t eat an old lady/grandmother either.So,the answers none of the above(The narrator is probably a mother....)

Ans 20:

Chada Lakshmi Chaitra from Timpany School, Visakhapatnam
Class : Class 8
The answer must be NONE OF THE ABOVE. The title of the poem "When I'm An Old Lady" clearly states that the narrator cannot be an old lady yet as she says 'when'. She cannot be an young girl because then she wouldn't be having kids.Therefore, she must be an mother with kids.So, the answer is NONE OF THE ABOVE

Fill in the blanks with indirect forms of speech :
Ghost : Ha, ha! I have a glorious past of terrifying people.
Mr. Otis : Mr. Ghost, why don't you oil your rusty chains? The clanking noise doesn't let me sleep.
Mrs. Otis : Uf! How miserably you are belching! Take this tincture to cure your stomachache.
The ghost laughed furiously and said that ________. Mr. Otis asked the ghost ________? He further told him that ________. Mrs. Otis exclaimed with disgust and told the ghost that ____?____! She, then, advised him ________.

A how miserably he was belching
B he was belching very miserably
C he was belching how miserably
D how miserably you are belching


I say its option b but they are saying that it is option a.Is it not wrong English to say”Mrs Otis exclaimed.....the ghost that how miserably he was belching?”.....shouldn’t the right answer be option b?

Ans 1:

Advika Narkar from The Shishukunj International School, Jhalaria Campus, Indore
Class : Class 8
Option A, if applied to the sentence, will sound odd,"Mrs.Otis exclaimed with disgust and told the ghost that how miserably he was belching.". In this case, Option B sounds much better,"Mrs.Otis exclaimed with disgust and told the ghost that he was belching very miserably." Option A when applied to the sentence sounds like a question, not an assertive statement. Option D is excluded since pronouns in the second person will change into third person in indirect speech. And Option C doesn't make any sense. Hence, Option B is the correct answer. ADMIN FROM REVISEWISE NOIDA IS KINDLY REQUESTED TO RECTIFY THIS ERROR AND EVERY SINGLE ERROR IN OTHER TESTS, SO THAT STUDENTS DON'T HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY SOLVING THE TESTS AND DON'T HAVE TO GET THEIR MARKS UNFAIRLY CUT DUE TO THE WRONG OPTION BEING MARKED AS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND THE CORRECT ANSWER BEING MARKED AS THE WRONG ANSWER.

Ans 2:

Bipasana from KV IIT Kanpur, Kanpur
Class : Class 9
B

Ans 3:

Ayush Gorain from Sarala Birla Public School, Ranchi
Class : Class 8
When changing from direct to indirect voice, an exclamatory sentence (or any type of sentence for that matter) is changed to an assertive sentence. Option (A) and option (D) are thus excluded, because if they are filled into the respective blank, the sentence would be an exclamatory one. Additionally, the 'you' in option (D) is not acceptable, as personal and possessive pronouns change along with the tense when converting from direct to indirect.Option (C) simply doesn't make sense. The word 'how' advocates that Mrs. Otis is asking a question, while Mrs. Otis is simply exclaiming the manner in which Mr. Ghost was belching. Thus, by deduction, option (B) is the correct answer (in my opinion).
