Q.9(a). Rewrite the following passage using the correct form of the words given in brackets.
তলৰ অনুচ্ছেদখন ঠিক শব্দৰ ৰূপ ব্যৱহাৰ কৰি পুনৰ লিখা।
Given Passage:
A person is judged not from his (appear/appearance) but from his behaviour. Handsome is that handsome does. This is the (true/truth) of all living things- men, birds and animals. A snake has a (glass/glossy) body, but it is hated because of its poison. A dog, a fox and a wolf belong to the (same/similar) family. They look almost the same. But (when/while) a dog is loved, a fox is hated and a wolf is feared. Both the bee (or/and) the wasp have a bright body. But we hate the wash and love the bee. Why? It is one’s (nature/natural) that makes one hated or loved.
Rewritten Answer:
A person is judged not by his appearance but by his behaviour. Handsome is that handsome does. This is the truth of all living creatures—men, birds, and animals. A snake has a glossy body, yet it is disliked due to its poison. A dog, a fox, and a wolf are part of the same family. They look nearly alike. But while a dog is loved, a fox is disliked, and a wolf is feared. Both the bee and the wasp have shiny bodies. But we dislike the wasp and admire the bee. Why? Because it is one’s nature that determines whether one is liked or disliked.
