Answer: The others who got the money were the butler, the housekeeper and Miss Hayden got a seal ring and $10 each, who was the ward of Robert’s uncle. His nephew got 1,000 dollars.

Question 5.
Why was Old Bryson not serious in giving suggestions to Gillian ? What were the suggestions given ?
Answer:
Old Bryson did not like Gillian. Therefore, he was not serious in giving his suggestions. He suggested that Gillian could buy a house, provide milk for babies, spend in art galleries, spend for someone’s education, or buy a diamond pendant for Miss Lotta.

ओल्ड बायसन गिलियन को पसन्द नहीं करता था। इसलिए वह सुझाव देने के प्रति गम्भीर नहीं था। उसने सुझाव दिया कि गिलियन एक मकान खरीद सकता था, बच्चों के लिए दूध प्रदान कर सकता था, आर्ट गैलरियों में खर्च कर सकता था, किसी की शिक्षा पर खर्च कर सकता था, अथवा मिस लौटा के लिए हीरों का हार खरीद सकता था।

Question 6.
Which suggestion did Gillian accept? What did he do then ?
Answer:
Gillian accepted the suggestion to give a diamond pendant to Miss Lotta Lauriere. He phoned for a cab, and asked the driver to take him to the Columbine Theatre.

गिलियन ने मिस लौटा को हीरों का हार देने का सुझाव स्वीकार कर लिया। उसने एक बग्घी के लिए फोन किया और चालक से कहा कि वह उसे कोलम्बाइन थियेटर ले चले।

Question 7.
Who was Miss Lotta Lauriere ? Did she welcome Gillian’s coming ? Was she happy with his offer ? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer:
Miss Lotta was an actress. She did not welcome Gillian’s coming. She was not happy with Gillian’s offer. She wanted a much costlier pendant.

मिस लौटा एक अभिनेत्री थी। उसने गिलियन के आने का स्वागत न किया। उसे गिलियन की पेशकश पर प्रसन्नता न हुई। वह इससे कहीं अधिक कीमत का हार चाहती थी।

Question 8.
What did Gillian ask the driver of the cab ? Did he like his answer ? How do you know ?
Answer:
Gillian asked the cab driver what he would do if he had a thousand dollars. The driver said that he would open a saloon. At this Gillian said, “Oh, no.” It shows that he did not like the cab driver’s answer.


गिलियन ने बग्घी-चालक से पूछा कि यदि उसके पास एक हजार डॉलर होते तो वह क्या करता। चालक ने उत्तर दिया कि वह एक शराबखाना खोल लेता। इस पर गिलियन ने कहा, “अरे, नहीं।” इससे पता चलता है कि उसे बग्घी-चालक का उत्तर पसन्द न आया।

Question 9.
Who did Gillian talk to next ? Why ?
Answer:
Gillian next talked to a blind man, who was selling pencils. He wanted to know from him what he would do if he had a thousand dollars.

इसके बाद गिलियन ने एक अन्धे आदमी से बात की जो पेन्सिलें बेच रहा था। वह उससे जानना चाहता था कि वह क्या करता यदि उसके पास एक हज़ार डॉलर होते।

Question 10.
Why did Gillian give his money to Miss Hayden ? What did he ask her to give him and why ?
Answer:
Gillian gave his money to Miss Hayden because he wanted to spend the money in a lump and save himself the trouble of keeping accounts. He asked Miss Hayden to give him a piece of paper to write a note.

गिलियन ने अपने पैसे मिस हेडेन को इसलिए दे दिए क्योंकि वह पूरे पैसे एक ही बार में खर्च करना चाहता था और स्वयं को हिसाब रखने की मुसीबत से बचाना चाहता था। उसने मिस हेडन से कागज़ का एक टुकड़ा कुछ लिखने के लिए मांगा।

Question 11.
What did Gillian write in his note ?
Answer:
He wrote that he had paid one thousand dollars to the best and dearest woman on earth. He added that it would give him eternal happiness.

उसने लिखा कि उसने एक हजार डॉलर धरती पर की सबसे बढ़िया और प्यारी औरत को दे दिए थे। उसने यह भी लिखा कि इससे उसे अनन्त प्रसन्नता प्राप्त होगी।


Question 12.
Why did Gillian go to the lawyers again ?
Answer:
He went to the lawyers to give them the account of how he had spent the one thousand dollars.

वह वकीलों के पास यह हिसाब देने गया कि उसने एक हजार डॉलर कैसे खर्च किए थे।

Question 13.
What had Gillian’s uncle written in the postscript of his will ?
Answer:
He had written that if Robert had spent the money wisely, he would get another five thousand dollars. Or else, this amount would go to Miss Hayden.

उसने लिखा था कि यदि राबर्ट ने पैसे समझदारी से खर्च किए तो उसे पाँच हजार डॉलर और मिल जाएंगे। अन्यथा ये पैसे मिस हेडन को मिल जाएंगे।
Question 14.
Why did Gillian not get the rest of the money ? Was he sorry for his action ?
Answer:
Gillian told the lawyers falsely that he had lost the thousand dollars on the races. Thus he lost his right to the other five thousand dollars. But he was not at all sorry for it. Rather he was happy that the money would go to the lady he loved so much.

गिलियन ने वकीलों को झूठ ही कह दिया कि वह एक हज़ार डॉलर घुड़दौड़ों में हार गया था। इस प्रकार वह अन्य पांच हज़ार डॉलर पर अपना अधिकार खो बैठा। किन्तु उसे उस बात का बिल्कुल कोई खेद नहीं था। इसके विपरीत उसे तो खुशी थी कि पैसे उस औरत को मिल जाएंगे जिसे वह इतना प्यार करता था।

X- English Lesson 2 : Where is Science Taking Us? Short Answer Type Questions 1. Why does the author of ‘Where is Science Taking Us?’ say that Science is doing less than nothing? Ans. Because it is doing nothing for non-material (ਨੋਨ ਮੇਟਿਰੀਅਲ =ਅਭੋਤਿਕ ) things. Or Answer: Science has done nothing with regard to ethical and spiritual matters.

Instead of enriching spiritual life, science has actually harmed it b...
