Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.

Explanation:
Answer:
Have you <u>drùnk</u> all the water?
Explanation:
The sentence is in interrogative form of <u>Present Perfect</u> which consists of verb to have and verb past participle. The structure of tense can be written below as:
Have/Has + subject + past participle (V.3) + additional stuff
While the affirmative form can be written as:
Subject + has/have + past participle + additional stuff
In negative form, just add not after verb to have which becomes have not (haven’t) or has not (hasn’t)
From the sentence, our past participle of drink is drùnk. You may have to remember past participle verbs though.
**Please ignore the ù, it is u by the way but it won’t let me send so I use ù instead.**
