Answers for 2-Mark Questions | www.WithTeachers.in

Answer 🎯.1 Timothy was discovered by Grandfather hiding among the intricate roots of a banyan tree in the Terai Jungle near Dehra. Answer 🎯.2 Grandfather accompanied the party to advise on the land and the direction the beaters should take because he knew the forests of the Siwalik hills very well. Answer 🎯.3 The camp was sumptuous with seven large tents, a dining tent, servants' tents, hot-water plates, finger-glasses, and fifteen elephants. Answer 🎯.4 No, the sportsmen never saw or shot a tiger; they only saw deer, peacocks, and wild boar. Answer 🎯.5 Grandfather had the distinction of being the only member of the party to have bagged any game, dead or alive, by finding the tiger cub. Answer 🎯.6 Initially, Timothy was given entirely milk in a feeding bottle by the cook, Mahmoud. Answer 🎯.7 Timothy's companions were Toto, the monkey, and a small mongrel puppy found on the road. Answer 🎯.8 Toto was bold enough to pull the young tiger by the tail and then climb up the curtains if Timothy lost his temper. Answer 🎯.9 At first, Timothy appeared to be quite afraid of the puppy and darted back with a spring if it came too near. Answer 🎯.10 Timothy's favourite amusement was to stalk anyone who played with him. Answer 🎯.11 With a crafty look and crouching body, he would creep closer, suddenly dash for the writer's feet, roll on his back, and pretend to bite his ankles. Answer 🎯.12 His favourite place was the drawing room, reclining on the long sofa with great dignity and snarling at anyone who tried to get him off. Answer 🎯.13 Timothy had clean habits and would scrub his face with his paws exactly like a cat. Answer 🎯.14 Grandfather prophetically declared that one day they would find Timothy sitting on Mahmoud's bed with no sign of the cook except his clothes and shoes. Answer 🎯.15 At six months old, Timothy grew steadily less friendly, started stalking pets, killed poultry at night, and stalked the cook. Answer 🎯.16 Grandfather transferred him because Timothy began stalking Mahmoud around the house with villainous intent, becoming too dangerous to keep. Answer 🎯.17 Grandfather reserved a first-class compartment for himself and Timothy and took him by train to the nearest zoo at Lucknow. Answer 🎯.18 About six months later, while visiting relatives in Lucknow, Grandfather visited the zoo to see how Timothy was getting on. Answer 🎯.19 Grandfather climbed the railing with ease, put his arm through the bars, stroked the tiger's forehead, and tickled his ear. Answer 🎯.20 The tiger allowed Grandfather to put both hands around his head and affectionately licked his hands. Answer 🎯.21 A leopard in the next cage snarled at the tiger and kept frightening him, making him slink back to his corner. Answer 🎯.22 The surprised keeper told Grandfather that he had never been able to touch the tiger himself because the animal was always very bad-tempered. Answer 🎯.23 The second keeper revealed that the tiger Grandfather was petting was not Timothy; Timothy had died two months ago. Answer 🎯.24 According to the keeper, the original Timothy died of pneumonia. Answer 🎯.25 Grandfather mumbled "Goodnight, Timothy," gave the keeper a scornful look, and walked briskly out of the zoo.

Section B: 3-Mark Questions (20 Questions)

(Questions with immediate answers for www.WithTeachers.in)

Question ❓.1 Describe the hunting expedition in the Terai Jungle. Answer 🎯.1 The hunting expedition consisted of very important persons from Delhi camping in the Terai Jungle. The camp was extremely sumptuous with large tents, fine dining, and fifteen elephants. However, the sportsmen failed to shoot any tiger until Grandfather found a cub.

Question ❓.2 How did the diet of the tiger cub evolve over time? Answer 🎯.2 Grandmother named the cub Timothy, and he was initially fed only milk from a bottle. When the milk proved too rich, he was put on a diet of raw mutton and cod liver oil, and later given a tempting diet of pigeons and rabbits.

Question ❓.3 Detail the relationship between Timothy and the mongrel puppy. Answer 🎯.3 Initially, the powerful tiger cub was quite afraid of the small mongrel puppy and would dart back if it came near. Eventually, they bonded, and Timothy allowed the puppy to crawl on his back and rest there.

Question ❓.4 How did Timothy behave when he was taken out for walks? Answer 🎯.4 When he reached the size of a full-grown retriever, taking him for walks became challenging. People on the road would give them a wide berth, and the writer had difficulty keeping up when Timothy pulled hard on his chain.

Question ❓.5 What led Grandfather to realize that Timothy could no longer be kept as a pet? Answer 🎯.5 When Timothy turned six months old, he grew less friendly. He began stalking neighbourhood cats and dogs, caused frenzied cackling in the poultry house, and finally started stalking the cook with a villainous intent, forcing Grandfather to send him to a zoo.

Question ❓.6 How did the zoo authorities react to receiving Timothy? Answer 🎯.6 The nearest zoo in Lucknow was two hundred miles away. When Grandfather brought Timothy there in a first-class compartment, the zoo authorities were only too glad to receive a well-fed and fairly civilized tiger as a gift.

Question ❓.7 Describe the reunion scene between Grandfather and the tiger at the zoo. Answer 🎯.7 Arriving at the cage, Grandfather put his arms through the bars, stroking the tiger's head and tickling its ears. The tiger, in return, approached the bars and affectionately licked Grandfather's hands, making it look like a heartwarming reunion.

Question ❓.8 What role did the leopard play during Grandfather's visit to the zoo? Answer 🎯.8 The leopard in the adjacent cage acted as an aggressor. Every now and then, it would snarl and rush at the bars, causing the tiger to spring away and slink back to its corner until Grandfather 'shoed' the leopard away.

Question ❓.9 Why was the first keeper surprised by Grandfather's actions? Answer 🎯.9 The first keeper pushed through the crowd and was stunned to see Grandfather petting the tiger. He was surprised because he had never been able to touch the beast himself, noting that the tiger was always very bad-tempered.

Question ❓.10 What shocking truth did the second keeper reveal to Grandfather? Answer 🎯.10 When Grandfather asked the second keeper to transfer the tiger away from the leopard, the keeper stammered that it was not his tiger. He revealed that Timothy had died of pneumonia two months ago.

Question ❓.11 Why was the tiger currently in the cage considered dangerous? Answer 🎯.11 The keeper explained that the tiger currently occupying the cage was not the civilized Timothy, but a wild beast that had been trapped in the hills only last month, making it extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

Question ❓.12 Explain Grandfather's reaction at the end of the story. Answer 🎯.12 Grandfather was stunned and could think of nothing to say. Realizing he was petting a wild, dangerous tiger that was licking his arm with "increasing relish," he slowly withdrew his hand, mumbled goodnight, and briskly left.

Question ❓.13 Discuss the irony in the tiger licking Grandfather's hand with "increasing relish." Answer 🎯.13 Initially, it seemed like an act of affection from a recognized pet. However, the irony lies in the fact that it was a wild, hungry tiger tasting Grandfather's hand, meaning the "relish" was predatory rather than affectionate.

Question ❓.14 How does the author create suspense during Grandfather's zoo visit? Answer 🎯.14 Suspense is built gradually. First, the tiger acts docile, but the first keeper warns of its bad temper. Then, the second keeper looks at him with "some alarm" before dropping the shocking revelation that Timothy is dead and this tiger is a wild killer.

Question ❓.15 What does the character of Mahmoud add to the story? Answer 🎯.15 Mahmoud, the cook, highlights Timothy's transition from a harmless cub to a dangerous predator. He lovingly feeds the cub at first, but later becomes the target of the growing tiger's "villainous intent," prompting Timothy's removal.

Question ❓.16 Why is the title "A Tiger in the House" appropriate for the first half of the story? Answer 🎯.16 It perfectly describes the surreal situation of domesticating a wild apex predator. The story humorously details the tiger sleeping in the cook's quarters, lounging on the sofa, and playing with a monkey and a puppy like a regular house pet.

Question ❓.17 What does the interaction between Toto and Timothy show about the cub's early nature? Answer 🎯.17 It shows that Timothy was initially very tolerant and harmless. Toto was bold enough to pull the young tiger by the tail, showing that the cub lacked its natural wild aggression during its early days in the house.

Question ❓.18 Contrast Grandfather's knowledge of the jungle with the other shikaris. Answer 🎯.18 The important persons from Delhi had expensive gear and elephants but failed to spot any game. In contrast, Grandfather, who was not a shikari but knew the Siwalik hills intimately, effortlessly found the tiger cub while strolling on a forest path.

Question ❓.19 What is the significance of the first-class compartment journey? Answer 🎯.19 It highlights Grandfather's eccentric nature and deep affection for the tiger. Booking a first-class train compartment for a growing, dangerous tiger shows how thoroughly Timothy was treated as an esteemed member of the family rather than a beast.

Question ❓.20 What does the ending suggest about Grandfather's connection with animals? Answer 🎯.20 Despite the extreme danger, Grandfather managed to calm a ferocious, newly-trapped wild tiger simply through his confident and affectionate touch. It proves he had an extraordinary, almost magical way of understanding and handling wild animals.
