C. 1.\u00a0 Long Answer Questions\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Q 1 –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u2018The life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination\u2019. Elaborate.<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>It has the clear meaning that the life of Negro is still like that of a disabled person because it is captivated with the handcuffs of separation (on basis of race) and the fetters of discrimination. The Negroes are thought to be inferior to the whites and so are not given the proper rights of a citizen but are tormented everywhere. In such circumstances, Negroes are like a disabled person who cannot do anything on and for its own. They are racially discriminated everywhere and are still fettered. They are tribulated, tortured, and tormented. They are not given the right to vote, they are not allowed to go to public places and are cut off from society as if they are not allowed to go to public places and are cut off from society as if they are not humans. This inhuman act done with them has crippled their life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q 2 –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>What would be fatal for the nation? Why? Explain.<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. It would be so because the sweltering summer of the Negro\u2019s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom. Negro is granted his citizenship rights and they will begin a revolt for their rights and justice. The whirlwinds of this revolt will continue to shake the foundations of the nation until the bright day of justice emerges and if the nation does not even understand them and do something for Negroes, this revolt will take a furious form and that could be seriously fatal and injurious for the nation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q 3 –<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>What was the \u2018dream\u2019? How many times \u201cI have a dream\u2019 appears in the lesson? Discuss the importance of this repetition?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The \u2018dream\u2019 is that someday the racial discrimination would come to an end, the son of slaves and owners will share the same table of fraternity, Mississippi state will calm down with justice and freedom, his children will never have to suffer racial discrimination, Albama has black and white children together hands in hands. \u2018I have a dream\u2019 phrase is repeated Nine times in the chapter. The importance of repetition is that the writer wants to draw the attention of people towards the dream because it is the dream after which they have to start the revolt and to see the dream come true, they have to fight against the brutality of the government. This repetition is done to signify its meaning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Q 4 –<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>What is the pledge? When will it be fulfilled?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The pledge is to always march ahead on the path of freedom and never to turn back but to move ahead with chest puffed. It will be fulfilled when the Negroes get their rights and freedom. They get justice and are not tortured, tormented, segregated, discriminated, and separated from the rest of society. It will be fulfilled when Negros are free from the clutches of slavery and are given citizenship rights.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Q 5 –<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Do you have a dream for your state? Narrate your dream in your own words.<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>I have a dream that my state is a clean and tidy state where all the people are employed. All children go to school. All the people are literate. The roads are plain without holes and ditches in them. Stray animals do not roam here and there around the city. The city is green and spotlessly clean.

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. Secularism.<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Secularism means that no religion is the state religion. All religions have equal status. In India, we follow secularism.
