CBSE Class 9 English - Chapter: Packing (Q & A)
Q1: Name the novel from where the extract is taken from?
Answer: Three Men in a Boat
Q2: Who is the author of the Novel?
Answer: Jerome
Q3: Justify the title of the chapter 'Packing'.
Answer: “Packing” is an appropriate title for this extract from the novel ‘Three Men in a Boat’. It forms one of the chapters of the novel. The three men are – Jerome, George and Harris. They have to go on a pleasure boat journey and have to pack for it. All three of them think they are ‘past masters’ in the art of packing, but all they end up creating is an utter mess. They blame each other for being poor at packing and each boasts of his packing acumen. Thus, the extract is all about packing and, therefore, the title is appropriate.
