c.The girl, fetching water from the well every day.
d.The girl’s decision to leave Paradise and join the
man to go back to Earth.

•A nameless man who "had no useful work" ends up in Paradise by mistake.
This "Paradise" seems to be a commentary on what Tagore believes would
be the "Paradise" embraced by his times in this Paradise, only "good, busy
souls" are allowed. The man is constantly in the way of people trying to
quickly get places and do things (things that are never concretely defined).
At this point, he meets a "very busy girl" and attempts to take her pitcher
from her. She is confused because, rather than wanting to use her pitcher for
something useful, he wants to paint patterns on it. He presses on about this
until she finally lets him. When it is returned to her, she notes that "it has no
meaning." Does this make it useless to her? No.
When the girl returns home, she is faced with something meaningless
having value, which is contrary to the bounds of "paradise" (and modern
life). The man continues his loving revolt against meaning by weaving a
colored ribbon for the girls hair. Again, she is presented with something
beautiful without meaning.

Rapidly backwards and forwards: We call
this
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling
the flowers:
They call it easing the spring
They call it easing the Spring: It is perfectly
easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like
the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking piece, and

Shouldstrubies find; I by the tide

Vaster than empires, and move slow;
An hundredyears should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;
Twohundredto adore each breast,

again and she could hear it whipping in the eaves above her head. “Ma’am,” the man’s voice

she thought wildly, but he had moved and brushed against her, and where his touch had fallen,
her flesh leaped, and she recalled how his hands had looked that first day, lain tenderly on the
edge of her desk and about the wooden bird (that looked like a moving, shining dove) and she
turned to him: with her ruffles wet and witted, in the dark she turned to him.

Spreading its leafless bloomsin a damp nook, 3
To please the desert and the sluggish brook. 4
The purple petals fallen in the pool 5
Made the black water with their beauty gay; 6
Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool, 7
And court the flower that cheapens his array. 8
Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why 9
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, 10
Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing,11
Then beauty is its own excuse for Being; 12
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose! 13
I never thought to ask; I never knew; 14
But in my simple ignorance suppose 15
The self-same power that brought me there, brought you. 16-GOD

483.A Grade 7 ESL teacher speaks the target language at a level
above the students’ skills and understanding. The technique used by
the teacher relates to which of the Krashen’shypotheses about
second-language acquisition?
A. The natural order hypothesis-learners acquire parts of language in a predictable
order.For any given language, certain grammatical structures are acquired early while others are acquired
later in the process.This hypothesis suggests that this natural order of acquisition occurs independently of
deliberate teaching and therefore teachers cannot change the order of a grammatical teaching sequence.
B. The monitor hypothesis-explains how acquisition and learning are used; the acquisition
system, initiates an utterance and the learning system ‘monitors’ the utterance to inspect and correct
errors.Krashenstates that monitoring can make some contribution to the accuracy of an utterance but its use
should be limited.He suggests that the ‘monitor’ can sometimes act as a barrier as it forces the learner to
slow down and focus more on accuracy as opposed to fluency.
C. The input hypothesis
D. The affective filter hypothesis-one obstacle that manifests itself during language
acquisition is the affective filter; that is a 'screen' that is influenced by emotional variables that can prevent
learning.This hypothetical filter does not impact acquisition directly but rather prevents input from reaching
the language acquisition part of the brain.According to Krashenthe affective filter can be prompted by many
different variables including anxiety, self-confidence, motivation and stress.
