Class 7 English Poorvi Unit 3 Chapter 3 MCQs with Answer – North, South, East, West

Shaana shares her journey through postcards, mostly addressed to friends and classmates. This form gives readers short, personal accounts of each stop. Her descriptions include what she sees, what she does and how she feels about new experiences.

The introduction says that Shaana lives on Rameswaram island. She travels around India with her parents and eventually returns home. Knowing her starting point helps readers understand why she compares unfamiliar beaches and landscapes with places she already knows.

Shaana’s first postcard describes the Thajiwas glacier in Kashmir. She notices its white and blue appearance and the cold conditions. This northern stop introduces one of the many very different landscapes that she experiences during the family’s journey.

Although Shaana wears several layers of clothing, she has not put on gloves. Her hands shake in the cold, making writing difficult. The detail gives the postcard a personal touch and helps readers imagine how cold the glacier feels.

Shaana thinks she hears bears growling when it gets dark, but Amma explains that the sound is Appa snoring. The mistaken identification adds humour to the postcard and shows how Shaana’s excitement influences the way she interprets unfamiliar surroundings.

Shaana had assumed that the states sharing Pradesh in their names were neighbours. Travelling between Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh shows her otherwise. The journey teaches her that similar names do not mean that places are close together.

The family walks through a dense forest to reach a treehouse. Shaana describes the forest as so thick that someone could easily get lost. The setting makes this stop feel especially adventurous and different from their earlier mountain visit.

Shaana says she hopes to see red pandas while visiting Arunachal Pradesh. This is a wish rather than a report that she actually sees them. Reading carefully helps students distinguish something a traveller hopes for from something that has happened.

Amma explains that places like the Sundarbans are wetlands. Shaana is surprised by this unfamiliar landscape and by the trees growing in seawater. The visit adds another example of India’s varied natural environments to her growing travel experience.

Shaana describes the desert as hot, dry and sandy, like a beach without the sea. She uses a familiar place to explain an unfamiliar one. This simple comparison helps her classmates imagine the landscape through something they may already understand.

Shaana and her parents go rafting on the Narmada. She discovers that river water can move very quickly and finds the experience exciting. Her account contrasts her earlier idea of calm rivers with the movement she experiences at close range.

Appa is frightened by the rafting experience and decides that he does not want to do it again. Shaana, however, loves the water and wants to return. Their different reactions show that people can experience the same activity differently.

Shaana says that she used to fear tunnels but is no longer afraid. Travelling gives her repeated experience of them. The change suggests that encountering unfamiliar things can help a child become more comfortable and confident over time.

The family decides to learn surfing while travelling towards Puducherry. Shaana feels pleased with her progress because she falls only twice. This episode adds a new water activity to the journey and shows her enjoyment of learning through experience.

Shaana sees the ocean on both sides while crossing the Pamban bridge by train. She is amazed that a railway journey can pass across the sea. Her short postcard captures the excitement of approaching home through this unusual setting.

Amma wants to teach Shaana to dive, but a suit in her size is unavailable. Shaana instead spends the day floating and watching fish. The account shows that she still finds an enjoyable way to experience the water.

Shaana and her family find different pebbles on the beach, and she looks forward to giving them to her friends. The small gifts connect her travel experiences with people at home and show her continuing wish to share the journey.

The postcards describe glaciers, mountains, forests, wetlands, deserts, plateaus and beaches. These contrasting environments reveal geographical diversity. By following one family’s journey, students see how travelling across the country can bring very different natural settings into a single experience.

Amma and Appa are two people joined by and, so the subject is plural. The correct present tense verb is are. The language activity uses this sentence to show how a verb must agree with its subject.
