CBSE Solutions for Class 8th English Chapter 2 The Tsunami PART-6

Class VIII English Chapter 2 – The Tsunami Solution is given below.

Question 3:
How are Meghna and Almas’s stories similar?

Answer:
Both Meghna’s and Almas’ families were washed away. Both of them kept floating in the sea for days. Meghna floated in the sea for two days holding on to a wooden door. She was brought to the shore by a wave. Similarly, Almus climbed on to a log of wood and fainted. She woke up in a hospital. Both the girls were traumatised after the incident. While Meghna was seen walking on the seashore in daze, Almus does not talk about the incident to anyone.

Question 4:
What are the different ways in which Tilly’s parents could have reacted to her behavior? What would you have done if you were in their place?

Answer:
Not taking her seriously, Tilly’s parents could have tried to calm her down thinking that she had been frightened by something. As a result, they could have been washed away by the tsunami waves.
If I were in their place, I too would have listened to her and realised that there was a danger approaching. Consequently, I too would have rushed away from the beach.
