Question

Q.1) Read this short passage and answer the question below:

Answer 1

Answer:

D) is too shy to try and talk to the prince  .

B) “Here she would sit and watch the young prince, who thought himself quite alone In the bright moonlight.”

Explanation:

The fairytale of "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Anderson is a famous children's tale that everyone is familiar with. It tells the story of a young mermaid Ariel, who fell in love with a human prince and ends up taking a 'gift' from the evil witch Ursula to try to get Prince Eric to fall in love with her.

As seen in the given passage from the story, we see Princess Ariel and her sisters swimming along the shores to get a glimpse of the Prince's palace. Ariel would "peep out from among the green rushes" just to "sit and watch the young prince [. . .] in the bright moonlight". This shows she has been greatly affected by the Prince but is too shy to talk to the him.

Thus, the correct answers are options D(first question) and option B (second question).
