Read the passage from Speech on the Weather
we hadnt our bewitching autumn foliage, we should still have to credit the weather with one feature which compensates for all its bullying
vagares the ice storm: when a leafless tree is clothed with ice from the bottom to the top-ice that is as bright and clear as crystat when every
bough and tuig is strung with ice beads, frozen dewdrops and the whole tree sparkles cold and white like the Shah of Persia's diamond plume.
Then the wind waves the branches and the sun comes out and turns all those myriads of beads and drops to prisms that glow and burn and flash
with all manner of colored fres which change and change again with inconceivable rapidity from blue to red, from red to green and green to gold
the tree becomes a spraying fountain a very explosion of dazzling jewels and it stands there the acme, the climax, the supremest possibility in
ator nature of bewildering intoxicating intolerable magnificence. One cannot make the words too strong.

Ajourney with my father adapted from my reminiscences by sir rabindranath tagore probably in order to teach me to be careful, my father placed a little small change in my charge and required me to keep an account of it. he also entrusted me with the duty of winding his valuable gold watch for him. he overlooked the risk of damage in his desire to train me to a sense of responsibility. when we went out together for our morning walk, he would ask me to give alms to any beggars we came across. but i never could render him a proper account at the end of it. one day, my balance was larger than the account warranted. "i really must make you my cashier," observed my father. "money seems to have a way of growing in your hands! " that watch of his i wound up with such indefatigable1 zeal that it had very soon to be sent to the watchmaker's in calcutta. i am reminded of the time when, later in life, i was appointed to manage the estate and had to lay before my father, owing to his failing eyesight, a statement of accounts on the second or third of every month. i had first to read out the totals under each head, and if he had any doubts on any point, he would ask for the details. if i made any attempt to slur over or keep out of sight any item which i feared he would not like, it was sure to come out. so, these first few days of the month were very anxious ones for me. as i have said, my father had the habit of keeping everything clearly before his mind—whether figures of accounts, or ceremonial arrangements, or additions or alterations to property. he had never seen the new assembly hall built at bolpur, and yet, he was familiar with every detail of it from questioning those who came to see him after a visit to bolpur. he had an extraordinary memory, and when once he got hold of a fact, it never escaped him. my father asked me to copy the favourite verses, with their translation, from the book he liked reading every day. at home, i had been a boy of no account. here, when these important functions were entrusted to me, i felt the glory of the situation. 1. tireless 7 how does the narrator support the idea that his father keeps everything clearly before his mind? a. by giving the example of his father's response when his account did not tally with the money that he had in hand b. by mentioning that his father was interested in everything that happened around him c. by giving the example of his father knowing every detail of the new assembly hall at bolpur d. by mentioning that his father had marked his favorite verses from his favorite book
