Sun -Tour — Practice Quiz

Gentleness and persuasion are more powerful than force

Step 1: The story contrasts two approaches — the Wind uses force and the Sun uses warmth (gentleness). Step 2: The Wind's aggressive blowing made the man hold his coat tighter — force failed. Step 3: The Sun's gentle warmth made the man willingly remove his coat — persuasion succeeded. Step 4: The story teaches that being kind, patient, and gentle gets better results than being aggressive or forceful. Step 5: While 'never boast' is also a lesson, the central moral is about gentleness being stronger than force.

5 billion years

Step 1: Activity 3 in the chapter lists interesting facts about the Sun. Step 2: Fact number 1 clearly states 'The sun is 5 billion years old.' Step 3: One billion = 100 crore, so 5 billion is an enormously large number, showing the Sun is very ancient. Step 4: Options like 5 million or 500 million are much smaller numbers — they would make the Sun much younger than it actually is. Step 5: 50 billion is too large and incorrect. The correct answer is 5 billion years.

15 crore kilometres

Step 1: Refer to the facts listed in Activity 3 of the chapter. Step 2: Fact number 2 states 'It is 15 crore kms away from the earth.' Step 3: 15 crore kilometres = 150 million kilometres, which is the approximate average distance from Earth to the Sun. Step 4: 15 lakh km is too small (that is the size of the Sun, not the distance). Step 5: 1.5 crore and 150 crore are incorrect figures. The correct answer is 15 crore kilometres.
