1. Q1. After the hailstorm destroyed everything, what was Lencho's one hope that he expressed to his family, and how does it reveal his character?

   • A. Help from God, showing his deep and firm faith
   • B. A loan from the town bank, showing his practical mind
   • C. Help from the government, showing his trust in officials
   • D. Selling his house, showing his despair
   Solution

   Lencho's only hope was help from God, showing his unshakeable faith; he told his family that nobody dies of hunger when they have God's help.

2. Q2. Three of the following describe the storm in the story; one does NOT. Pick the odd one out.

   • A. The field left looking as if covered with salt
   • B. Hailstones that looked like new silver coins
   • C. Not a single leaf remaining on the plants
   • D. A gentle drizzle that saved the ripe corn
   Solution

   The storm brought first big raindrops, then hailstones 'like new silver coins', and left the field looking as if covered with salt; it did not bring a gentle drizzle that saved the crop.

3. Q3. Which word in the text describes Lencho as someone who worked the land himself but could read and write — an 'ox of a man' yet different from the usual farmer?

   • A. He had studied in the town
   • B. He owned the whole valley
   • C. He knew how to write
   • D. He never worked in the fields
   Solution

   The author says Lencho was an ox of a man, working like an animal in the fields, but he 'knew how to write' — that skill set him apart.

4. Q4. Match each event with the feeling Lencho had at that moment, then choose the correct pairing: (a) Seeing the field before the rain — (b) When hail fell for an hour — (c) Signing his first letter to God (1) Deep satisfaction (2) A great fear / sorrow (3) Complete trust

   • A. a-3, b-2, c-1
   • B. a-1, b-3, c-2
   • C. a-2, b-1, c-3
   • D. a-1, b-2, c-3
   Solution

   Before the rain Lencho was satisfied with his ripe field; the hail destroyed the crop and filled him with sorrow; writing to God, he showed complete trust.

5. Q5. Assertion (A): Lencho was not at all surprised on seeing the money inside the envelope. Reason (R): Lencho was confident that God always helps, so he had expected the reply. Choose the correct option.

   • A. A is false but R is true
   • B. A is true but R is false
   • C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
   • D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
   Solution

   Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A: his deep faith made the money seem natural, not surprising.
