Read the given passage, then give brief answers, to the questions placed at the end, in your own words: - (20)
There is indeed, something inexpressibly pleasing in the annual renovation of the world and the new display of the treasures of nature. The darkness and cold of winter with the naked deformity of every object, on which we turn our eyes, make us rejoice at the succeeding season, as well for what we have escaped, as for what we may enjoy. Every budding Flower, which a warm situation brings early to our view, is considered by us a messenger to notify the approach of more joyous days.
The spring affords to a mind free from the disturbance of cares or passions almost everything that our present state makes us capable of enjoying. The Variegated Verdure of the fields and woods, the succession of grateful Odours, the Voice of pleasure pouring out its notes on every side, with the gladness apparently conceived by every animal from the growth of liis food and the clemency of the weather, throw over the whole.earth an air of gaiety, significantly expressed by Smile of nature.
(Samuel John Son)

What Kind of help you are asking for....................?

In Comprehension, a paragraph is given followed by some questions normally related to that given paragraph to find out the answers of those given questions.

One has to read the given paragraph for at-least one or more time before writing answers of the given questions.

A paragraph may contain certain difficult words and therefore it is asked to write down the meaning of the given words. It is advisable to write down as for as the meaning is concerned from the given paragraph rather following traditional meaning, however this idea is not 100% applicable all the time.
