Class VIII English Chapter 1 The Best Christmas Present in the World Solution is given below.
What jobs did Hans Wolf and Jim Macpherson have when they were not soldiers?
Answer:
Hans Wolf was from Dusseldorf. He played the cello in the orchestra. Jim Macpherson was a school teacher from Dorset.
Question 4:
Had Hans Wolf even been to Dorset? Why did he say he knew it?
Answer:
No, Hans Wolf had never been to Dorset. He had learned all about England from school and from reading books in English.
Question 5:
Do you think Jim Macpherson came back from the war? How do you know this?
Answer:
No, it is most likely that Jim Macpherson did not come back from the war. The notepaper sello-taped to the tin box mentioned the letter contained in the box to be the “last letter” from Jim. This was perhaps the last that Connie heard from Jim. While celebrating Christmas in no man’s land, the British and German soldiers played a game of football. Hans told Jim that he hoped the war would also be resolved by a football match. To this Jim replied that he wasn’t very good at football, but would be sure of winning if they played cricket. The match was won by the Germans. This perhaps indicates that the Germans might have also won the actual battle between the two troops.
