Question 5.

Ausable remained calm and confident even when a gun was pointed at him. He created a fake story about the balcony and police, which made Max panic and fall into his own trap.
उत्तर:
ऑसिबल ने तब भी शांति और आत्मविश्वास बनाए रखा जब उस पर बंदूक तानी गई थी। उसने बालकनी और पुलिस की झूठी कहानी बनाई जिससे मैक्स डर गया और अपने ही जाल में फंस गया।

Question 6. (Long Question)

What qualities of Ausable make him an intelligent secret agent?
ऑसिबल की कौन-सी विशेषताएँ उसे एक बुद्धिमान गुप्त एजेंट बनाती हैं?

Answer:
Ausable was smart, quick-thinking, and composed. Even in danger, he never panicked. He used his brain instead of force, which helped him trick Max easily. His ability to stay calm and think logically shows he was a true secret agent.
उत्तर:
ऑसिबल चतुर, तेज सोचने वाला और शांत स्वभाव का व्यक्ति था। खतरे की स्थिति में भी उसने घबराने के बजाय बुद्धि का उपयोग किया। उसने अपनी समझदारी से मैक्स को आसानी से मूर्ख बनाया। उसकी शांत और तर्कसंगत सोचने की क्षमता उसे एक सच्चा गुप्त एजेंट बनाती है।

  1. The Thirsty Crow One hot summer afternoon, a thirsty crow flew here and there looking for water. After a long search, he saw a pot under a tree. He flew down and looked inside. There was a little water at the bottom, but his beak couldn't reach it. He tried to push the pot, but it was too heavy. The clever crow got an idea. He picked up small pebbles and dropped them into the pot one by one. Slowly, the water level rose. At last, the water came near the top. The crow drank the water and flew away happily, feeling refreshed. Moral : Where there is a will, there is a way. 2. The Greedy Dog Once there was a hungry dog. He found a juicy bone and was very happy. Holding it in his mouth, he ran to a quiet place to enjoy it. On his way, he had to cross a small bridge over a stream.

He barked at the “other dog,” and as he opened his mouth, his...
