Question 6: How did Janaki manage the funds required to travel to England? (рмЗрмВрм▓рмгрнНрмб рмпрм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмЖрммрм╢рнНрнЯрмХ рмЕрм░рнНрме рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнА рмХрм┐рмкрм░рм┐ рмпрнЛрмЧрм╛рмбрм╝ рмХрм░рм┐рмерм┐рм▓рнЗ?)

Answer- The substantial amount of money Janaki needed for her attempt in England was contributed by the government, a few private agencies, and several of her friends.

Question 7: Why were the officials of the English Channel Swimming Association shocked upon seeing Janaki? (рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрнБ рмжрнЗрмЦрм┐ рмЗрмВрм▓рм┐рм╢ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓ рм╕рнБрмЗрморм┐рмВ рмЖрм╕рнЛрм╕рм┐рмПрм╕рмирм░ рмЕрмзрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрморм╛рмирнЗ рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐ рмЖрм╢рнНрмЪрм░рнНрмпрнНрнЯ рм╣рнЛрмЗрмЧрм▓рнЗ?)

Answer- The officials were deeply shocked because, in their entire experience, it was the very first time a physically handicapped person with paralyzed legs was attempting to swim the challenging English Channel.

Question 8: Why was Janaki placed in a relay team instead of being allowed a solo attempt? (рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрнБ рмПрмХрм╛рмХрнА рмкрм╣рмБрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмЕрмирнБрмормдрм┐ рмжрнЗрммрм╛ рмкрм░рм┐рммрм░рнНрмдрнНрмдрнЗ рмПрмХ рм░рм┐рм▓рнЗ рмжрм│рм░рнЗ рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐ рм░рмЦрм╛рмЧрм▓рм╛?)

Answer- She was placed in a relay team because the Association did not have a special safety boat available to accompany her for a solo attempt, which was strictly necessary in case she needed to be lifted out of the water quickly.

Question 9: Who was Stella Streeter and what was her role? (рм╖рнНрмЯрнЗрм▓рм╛ рм╖рнНрмЯрнНрм░рм┐рмЯрм░ рмХрм┐рмП рмерм┐рм▓рнЗ рмПрммрмВ рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмнрнВрморм┐рмХрм╛ рмХ’рмг рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)

Answer- Stella Streeter was a famous English Channel coach. Janaki spent about three weeks training under her guidance in the channel waters before the actual swim.

Question 10: What does 'Janaki's Maritime Express' refer to? ('рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрм╕рнН рморнЗрм░рм┐рмЯрм╛рмЗрморнН рмПрмХрнНрм╕рмкрнНрм░рнЗрм╕рнН' рмХрм╛рм╣рм╛рмХрнБ рммрнБрмЭрм╛рмП?)

Answer- 'Janaki's Maritime Express' was the name given to the six-member relay team. The other mostly American swimmers named it to honor Janaki, recognizing her unique courage as the only handicapped member.

Question 11: How did the salt water of the English Channel affect Janaki during her swim? (рмЗрмВрм▓рм┐рм╢ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓рм░ рм▓рнБрмгрм┐рмЖ рмкрм╛рмгрм┐ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрнБ рмкрм╣рмБрм░рм┐рммрм╛ рм╕рморнЯрм░рнЗ рмХрм┐рмкрм░рм┐ рмкрнНрм░рмнрм╛рммрм┐рмд рмХрм░рм┐рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)

Answer- The water of the English Channel was extremely salty. Whenever it entered her mouth, it made her feel sick and nauseous, adding to the difficulty of her swim.

Question 12: What specific problem did Janaki's paralyzed legs cause in the sea? (рм╕рморнБрмжрнНрм░рм░рнЗ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмЕрмХрм░рнНрмормгрнНрнЯ рмЧрнЛрмбрм╝ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмирм┐рм░рнНрмжрнНрмжрм┐рм╖рнНрмЯ рм╕рморм╕рнНрнЯрм╛ рм╕рнГрм╖рнНрмЯрм┐ рмХрм░рм┐рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)

Answer- Because her legs were paralyzed, she could not control them. They kept moving uncontrollably to the left or right, completely at the mercy of the strong sea waves.

Question 13: What made the channel swim an agonizing experience for Janaki's parents? (рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмХрмерм╛ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХ рмкрм┐рмдрм╛рморм╛рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓ рм╕рмирнНрмдрм░рмгрмХрнБ рмПрмХ рмпрмирнНрмдрнНрм░рмгрм╛рмжрм╛рнЯрмХ рмЕрмирнБрмнрнВрмдрм┐ рмХрм░рм┐рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)

Answer- Standing on Dover beach, her parents knew she was undertaking a highly dangerous task in the freezing, rough sea. Their intense worry for her safety made the experience agonizing, preventing them from even eating a single morsel.

Question 14: How much time did the relay team take to cross the channel, and what was Janaki's share? (рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓ рмЕрмдрм┐рмХрнНрм░рмо рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рм░рм┐рм▓рнЗ рмжрм│ рмХрнЗрмдрнЗ рм╕рморнЯ рмирнЗрмЗрмерм┐рм▓рм╛ рмПрммрмВ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХ рмнрм╛рмЧ рмХрнЗрмдрнЗ рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)

Answer- The relay team successfully crossed the English Channel in a total of 14 hours and 45 minutes. Out of this, Janaki swam her share for two and a half hours.

Question 15: What is Janaki's view on the word 'impossible'? ('рмЕрм╕рморнНрмнрмм' рм╢рммрнНрмж рмЙрмкрм░рнЗ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмормд рмХ’рмг?)

Answer- Janaki firmly believes that the word 'impossible' is meaningless for a determined person. She states that it is only applied to something that has not been tried yet.

Section B: Long Answer Type Questions (5 Marks Each) - 7 Nos

**Question 16: Describe the rigorous training Janaki underwent in India to meet the conditions set by the English Channel Swimming Association. (рмЗрмВрм▓рм┐рм╢ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓ рм╕рнБрмЗрморм┐рмВ рмЖрм╕рнЛрм╕рм┐рмПрм╕рми рмжрнНрн▒рм╛рм░рм╛ рмирм┐рм░рнНрмжрнНрмзрм╛рм░рм┐рмд рм╕рм░рнНрмдрнНрмд рмкрнВрм░рмг рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнА рмнрм╛рм░рмдрм░рнЗ рмирнЗрмЗрмерм┐рммрм╛ рмХрмарнЛрм░ рмкрнНрм░рм╢рм┐рмХрнНрм╖рмгрм░ рммрм░рнНрмгрнНрмгрмирм╛ рмХрм░ред) **

Answer- To meet the strict conditions of the Association, Janaki underwent grueling training in India. First, she trained in Bangalore for four years, pushing her limits until she was successfully able to swim for ten hours continuously at a stretch in a swimming pool, a feat certified by NIS coach Mr. Gopal. Following this, she needed to practice marathon swimming in the sea. With the help of the Thimaiah National Academy of Adventure, she went to the coastal town of Malpe. There, under the guidance of coach Dinesh Suvarna, she spent three tough weeks in the Arabian Sea, swimming a minimum of 20 kilometers every day to build the immense stamina required for the rough channel waters.

**Question 17: Elaborate on the various difficulties and physical challenges Janaki faced while swimming in the English Channel. (рмЗрмВрм▓рм┐рм╢ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓рм░рнЗ рмкрм╣рмБрм░рм┐рммрм╛ рм╕рморнЯрм░рнЗ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнА рм╕рморнНрморнБрмЦрнАрми рм╣рнЛрмЗрмерм┐рммрм╛ рммрм┐рмнрм┐рмирнНрми рмЕрм╕рнБрммрм┐рмзрм╛ рмПрммрмВ рм╢рм╛рм░рнАрм░рм┐рмХ рмЖрм╣рнНрн▒рм╛рми рммрм┐рм╖рнЯрм░рнЗ рммрм┐рм╕рнНрмдрнГрмд рмнрм╛рммрм░рнЗ рм▓рнЗрмЦред) **

Answer- Swimming the English Channel was an extreme physical challenge for Janaki. Firstly, the channel waters were freezing cold, requiring her to expend a massive amount of extra energy just to keep her arms moving. Secondly, the water was highly saline; the salt water entering her mouth constantly made her feel extremely sick. Thirdly, marine life like seaweeds and jellyfishes kept sticking to her body, making her highly uncomfortable. The most significant challenge, however, was her paralyzed legs. Since she had no control over them, the strong sea waves unpredictably tossed her legs left and right, making it incredibly difficult to maintain balance and direction in the open sea.

**Question 18: Justify the title of the chapter, "The Swimmer Who Does Not Need Her Legs!". (рмЕрмзрнНрнЯрм╛рнЯрм░ рм╢рнАрм░рнНрм╖рмХ "рмжрм┐ рм╕рнБрмЗрморм░ рм╣рнБ рмбрмЬрнН рмирмЯрнН рмирм┐рмбрнН рм╣рм░рнН рм▓рнЗрмЧрм╕рнН!" рм░ рмпрмерм╛рм░рнНрмермдрм╛ рмкрнНрм░рмдрм┐рмкрм╛рмжрми рмХрм░ред) **

Answer- The title is highly appropriate and deeply inspiring. Normally, swimming requires the coordinated use of both arms and legs, especially in challenging environments like the English Channel. Janaki, having lost the use of her legs to polio at age two, defied this basic physical requirement. She swam the treacherous channel relying entirely on the strength of her upper body, her immense courage, and her indomitable spirit. The title beautifully encapsulates her triumph over a severe physical disability, highlighting that true strength lies in the mind and heart. She literally proved to the world that she was a champion swimmer who successfully crossed the sea without needing her legs.

**Question 19: Discuss Janaki's philosophy of life as revealed at the end of the chapter. How can it inspire students? (рмЕрмзрнНрнЯрм╛рнЯрм░ рм╢рнЗрм╖рм░рнЗ рмкрнНрм░рмХрм╛рм╢рм┐рмд рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмЬрнАрммрми рмжрм░рнНрм╢рми рммрм┐рм╖рнЯрм░рнЗ рмЖрм▓рнЛрмЪрмирм╛ рмХрм░ред рмПрм╣рм╛ рмЫрм╛рмдрнНрм░рмЫрм╛рмдрнНрм░рнАрморм╛рмирмЩрнНрмХрнБ рмХрм┐рмкрм░рм┐ рмкрнНрм░рнЗрм░рмгрм╛ рмжрнЗрмЗрмкрм╛рм░рм┐рмм?) **

Answer- At the end of the chapter, Janaki reveals a powerful life philosophy: she believes that physical handicap is no bar to success. She strongly states that the word 'impossible' only applies to something that has not been tried. She credits her success to hard work, strong determination, courage, and self-reliance, adding that "God helps those who help themselves." This philosophy can deeply inspire students by teaching them never to use their limitations or circumstances as excuses. It encourages them to face academic and personal challenges with resilience, proving that any obstacle can be overcome if they possess the sheer will to try and the dedication to work hard.

**Question 20: Explain the circumstances that led to the formation of 'Janaki's Maritime Express' and the significance of its success. ('рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрм╕рнН рморнЗрм░рм┐рмЯрм╛рмЗрморнН рмПрмХрнНрм╕рмкрнНрм░рнЗрм╕рнН' рмЧрмарми рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмжрм╛рнЯрнА рмкрм░рм┐рм╕рнНрмерм┐рмдрм┐ рмПрммрмВ рмПрм╣рм╛рм░ рм╕рмлрм│рмдрм╛рм░ рморм╣рмдрнНрмдрнНрн▒ рммрнНрнЯрм╛рмЦрнНрнЯрм╛ рмХрм░ред) **

Answer- Janaki initially aimed for a solo swim across the English Channel. However, the Channel Swimming Association officials, shocked by her physical condition, refused a solo attempt because they lacked a dedicated safety boat to immediately lift her out of the water in an emergency. Consequently, she was placed in a relay team comprising five other, mostly American, normal swimmers. Amazed by her courage and to honor her special spirit, they named the team 'Janaki's Maritime Express'. The team's success—crossing the channel in 14 hours and 45 minutes—was significant because it represented a beautiful synergy of teamwork, inclusivity, and the triumph of a differently-abled athlete performing equally alongside able-bodied peers.

**Question 21: Imagine you are a journalist interviewing Janaki after her successful swim. Write a short interview focusing on her feelings and struggles during the event. (рмХрм│рнНрмкрмирм╛ рмХрм░ рмпрнЗ рмдрнБрморнЗ рмЬрмгрнЗ рм╕рм╛рморнНрммрм╛рмжрм┐рмХ рмПрммрмВ рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХрм░ рм╕рмлрм│ рм╕рмирнНрмдрм░рмг рмкрм░рнЗ рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХ рм╕рм╛рмХрнНрм╖рм╛рмдрмХрм╛рм░ рмирнЗрмЙрмЫред рмЗрмнрнЗрмгрнНрмЯ рм╕рморнЯрм░рнЗ рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмЕрмирнБрмнрнВрмдрм┐ рмПрммрмВ рм╕рмВрмШрм░рнНрм╖ рмЙрмкрм░рнЗ рмзрнНрнЯрм╛рми рмжрнЗрмЗ рмПрмХ рмХрнНрм╖рнБрмжрнНрм░ рм╕рм╛рмХрнНрм╖рм╛рмдрмХрм╛рм░ рм▓рнЗрмЦред) **

Answer- Journalist: Congratulations, Janaki! How does it feel to conquer the English Channel?

Janaki: It feels surreal. It is the realization of a childhood dream. I am overjoyed.

Journalist: What was the most terrifying part of the swim for you?

Janaki: The freezing water and the strong waves. Since my legs are paralyzed, I couldn't control them. The waves tossed them around helplessly, and the jellyfishes sticking to my skin made it an agonizing fight against nature.

Journalist: What kept you going during those difficult two and a half hours?

Janaki: The thought of my parents waiting anxiously on Dover beach, and my firm belief that 'impossible' is just a word. I had to prove that my determination was stronger than my physical handicap.

**Question 22: Analyze the role and feelings of Janaki's parents during her entire journey, especially on the day of the channel swim. (рмЬрм╛рмирмХрнАрмЩрнНрмХ рм╕рмормЧрнНрм░ рмпрм╛рмдрнНрм░рм╛рм░рнЗ, рммрм┐рм╢рнЗрм╖ рмХрм░рм┐ рмЪрнНрнЯрм╛рмирнЗрм▓ рм╕рмирнНрмдрм░рмг рмжрм┐рми, рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХ рмкрм┐рмдрм╛рморм╛рмдрм╛рмЩрнНрмХ рмнрнВрморм┐рмХрм╛ рмПрммрмВ рмЕрмирнБрмнрммрмХрнБ рммрм┐рм╢рнНрм│рнЗрм╖рмг рмХрм░ред) **

Answer- Janaki's parents, Mr. Nagappa and Mrs. Indiramma, were the silent pillars of strength throughout her journey. Despite her severe disability from age two, they supported her seemingly impossible dream instead of discouraging her. However, the actual day of the channel swim tested their endurance immensely. Standing on Dover beach, fully aware of the freezing, treacherous channel waters, they were consumed by parental anxiety. The text notes that it was an agonizing experience for them, to the point where they couldn't eat a single morsel. Their worry highlights the massive risks involved in Janaki's attempt, making her eventual safe and victorious return even more emotionally powerful.
