III. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Gita and Anand knew that Teachers’ Day was just round the corner. They wanted to do something special for

their class teacher. But what could it be? “Mrs Jana likes flowers,” Gita thought. She said that they could use

their allowance money to buy their teacher some yellow roses. Anand thought their teacher would like

something sweet. “May be candy,” he thought. They could buy their teacher a box of chocolates. Gita and

Anand thought and thought, but couldn’t decide. “Flowers and chocolates are nice,” said Gita, “but they won’t

last long! I want her to have something that will last all year, at least, until the next Teachers’ Day.” Anand

said, “Let’s make her something that will last a long time!” Gita ran to her room and came out with crayons,

paper, ribbons, glue and scissors. She and Anand started their work. They cut and pasted, coloured and tied

ribbons. On Teachers’ Day, Gita and Anand quietly entered the staff room. “Surprise!” they shouted, with big

smiles on their faces, “Happy Teachers’ Day!” Then they gave their teacher the present that they had made. It
