Observation

This was not a popular question. The few who attempted the question gave very scanty answers and gave a mere narration of events in the text.

The required answers should include:

• • Relation of the cave and shrine to the theme.
• • Location of the cave.
• • Cultural importance of the cave and shrine to the people of Mando land.
• • The significance of the cave and shrine to the people of Mando land.
• • The attitude of the main characters towards the cave and shrine.

Candidates’ performance was poor.
