His short story \u201cPlaying the Game\u201d is at once didactic and entertaining. Its gripping narration offers a pleasant reading experience. Alan is the lead character. He was a schoolboy. He loved cricket. His parents supported and encouraged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan\u2019s father actually helped Alan practise bowling. He commented that Alan was shaping as a good bowler. Then, Alan was selected to play in his school team. That was a well deserved opportunity. Hence Alan felt excited. That made Alan\u2019s parents doubly excited. That is just natural and justifiable on their part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 2.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Narrate the feelings of Alan as he was not able to reach the ground in time after meeting the old man on his way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cPlaying the Game\u201d, from the pen of Arthur Mee, pictures the humane angle of Alan. Alan was studying in a school. He got his long-awaited chance to play cricket in his school team. He was excited. On that important day, he started early. But on his way, he saw an old, lean and weak man. That old man was walking with difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man in Alan woke up. He helped the old man walk with his support. So, he couldn\u2019t reach the ground in time. His chance to play was given to another boy. Alan felt bad. He bit his lips. His sorrow knew no bounds. He couldn\u2019t even express his inability to go there in time. He walked back home slowly in disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Question 3.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Helping the old is as good ass playing the game.. Elucidate with reference to the story \u201cPlaying the Gamel..?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Arthur Mee is known for his humanism. He expresses it artistically. \u201cPlaying the Game\u201d exhibits that rare quality. Alan is the central character. He loved cricket. Once, he got a chance to represent his school in cricket. On the scheduled day, Alan started for the ground early. But on the way, he noticed an old man struggling to walk. He was move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He held his helping hand to that aged man. Hence, he couldn\u2019t reach the ground in time. He missed the much-awaited opportunity. He felt sad. But for this kind act, his parents presented him with his favourite bicycle. His classmates cheered him. The story proves, thus, that helping the old is better than playing the garmel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing the Game Summary in English<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"182\" src=\"https:\/\/boardscdn.manabadi.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/07114626\/TS-Inter-1st-Year-English-Study-Material-Chapter-11-Playing-the-Game-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Arthur Mee is an English writer, journalist and educator. His main contribution in the field of writing is towards the younger generation. No doubt that he is a moralist and humanist. Some of his writings are based on conversational style. As far as his style in writing is concerned it is worth easy, lucid and provides entertainment to the readers. The present article, \u2018Playing the Game\u2019 is written by him for I.P.C magazines, London. It is about a school boy, Alan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan was chosen to play in the school cricket match. He was proud of it. He had practised bowling with his father for weeks. He was a good bowler. He had to play in his school team. His father promised him a bicycle, if his team won the match. When Alan was going to the play ground, he saw an old man on the way. He was leaning heavily on his stick. He was weak and lean. The road was so hilly and the wond was too much for him. He could not walk easily on the way. So, he requested Alan to help him. He wanted to help him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He supported the old man by his arm. But the old man stumbled over a loose stone. Alan kept standing by him. He waited for someone who might help the old man. At last a policeman came there and promised, Alan to help him. He relieved Alan. The police man finally took him home. Now Alan ran as he could but all was in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Alan reached the playground, he found young Herold Banks playing in his place. The police man told Alan\u2019s father what had happened. He bought a bicycle from the market for Alan. Although he could not play on the cricket pitch, he was playing the game of helping an old man. On the next morning the school boys gave Alan three loud cheers as they had known about his kind out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meanings and Explanations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>playing the game (phrase): doing the right thing at the right time, \u0c38\u0c30\u0c3f\u0c2f\u0c48\u0c28 \u0c38\u0c2e\u0c2f\u0c02\u0c32\u0c4b \u0c38\u0c30\u0c3f\u0c2f\u0c48\u0c28 \u0c2a\u0c28\u0c3f\u0c1a\u0c47\u0c2f\u0c41\u0c1f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>see (n-pl) (someone) off (phrase) : send off, say goodbye, farewell, \u0c35\u0c40\u0c21\u0c4d\u0c15\u0c4b\u0c32\u0c41 \u0c2a\u0c32\u0c41\u0c15\u0c41, \u0926\u0947\u0916\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>meadow(n) \/ med\u01dd\u028a \/ (\u0c2e\u0c46\u0c21 \u0c09) (disyllabic): a field covered in grass, \u0c2a\u0c1a\u0c4d\u0c1a\u0c3f\u0c15 \u0c2c\u0c2f\u0c32\u0c41, \u091a\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0917\u093e\u0939<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>leaning (v+ing) \/ li:n\u0131\u014b \/ (\u0c32\u0c40\u0c28\u0c3f\u0c02\u0c17\u0c4d ) (disyllabic): bending, \u0c35\u0c02\u0c17\u0c41\u0c24\u0c42, \u0924\u093f\u0930\u091b\u093e \u0939\u094b\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cracked (adj) \/ kr\u00e6kt \/ (\u0c15\u0c3e\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c15\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c4d) (monosyllabic): sounding rough, \u0c2e\u0c4a\u0c30\u0c1f\u0c41\u0c17\u0c3e, \u0c26\u0c4d\u0c35\u0c28\u0c3f\u0c32\u0c4b \u0c39\u0c46\u0c1a\u0c4d\u0c1a\u0c41\u0c24\u0c17\u0c4d\u0c17\u0c41\u0c32\u0c24\u0c4b \u0c09\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c28 (\u0c15\u0c02\u0c20\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c35\u0c30\u0c02), \u0915\u0921\u093c\u0915\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>make up (phrasal verb): cover the loss or damage done, \u0c1c\u0c30\u0c3f\u0c17\u0c3f\u0c28 \u0c28\u0c37\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c3e\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c28\u0c3f \u0c2a\u0c42\u0c21\u0c4d\u0c1a\u0c41\u0c15\u0c4a\u0c28\u0c3f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>sturdy (adj) \/ st3:(r)di \/ (\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c1f(\u0c30\u0c4d)\u0c21\u0c3f) (disyllabic): strong and healthy, \u0c06\u0c30\u0c4b\u0c17\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c3e\u0c02\u0c17\u0c3e\u0c28\u0c41; \u0c26\u0c43\u0c21\u0c02\u0c17\u0c3e\u0c28\u0c41 \u0c09\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c28, \u0938\u094d\u0935\u0938\u094d\u0924<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>totter (v) \/ tat\u01dd(r) \/ (\u0c1f\u0c4b\u0c1f(\u0c30\u0c4d)) (disyllabic) : walk unsteadly, \u0c24\u0c42\u0c32\u0c41\u0c24\u0c42 \u0c28\u0c21\u0c41\u0c1a\u0c41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>obliged (adj) \/ \u01ddblard3d \/ (\u0c06\u0c2c\u0c4d\u0c32\u0c3f \u0c1c\u0c4d \u0c21\u0c4d) (disyllabic) : thankful, grateful, \u0c15\u0c43\u0c24\u0c1c\u0c4d\u0c1e\u0c24\u0c24\u0c4b \u0c09\u0c02\u0c21\u0c41, \u0935\u0927\u0928<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wonder (v) \/ w\u0245nd\u0259(r) \/ (\u0c35\u0c02\u0c21(\u0c30\u0c4d)) (disyllabic) : think about doubt, \u0c06\u0c32\u0c4b\u0c1a\u0c3f\u0c02\u0c1a\u0c41, \u0c38\u0c02\u0c26\u0c47\u0c39\u0c3f\u0c02\u0c1a\u0c41, \u0906\u0936\u094d\u091a\u0930\u094d\u092f \u0915\u0930\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>stumble (v) \/ stamb\u0259 \/ (\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c2e\u0c4d \u0c2c\u0c41\u0c32\u0c4d) (disyllabic) : fall, \u0c2a\u0c21\u0c3f\u0c2a\u0c4b\u0c35\u0c41, \u0920\u094b\u0915\u0930<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan bit his lip: Alan expressed his disappointment and helplessness by pressing his teeth against his lips, \u0c2a\u0c46\u0c26\u0c35\u0c41\u0c32\u0c28\u0c41 \u0c15\u0c4a\u0c30\u0c41\u0c15\u0c4d\u0c15\u0c4a\u0c02\u0c1f\u0c42 \u0c06\u0c32\u0c28\u0c4d \u0c24\u0c28 \u0c28\u0c3f\u0c30\u0c41\u0c24\u0c4d\u0c38\u0c3e\u0c39\u0c3e\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c28\u0c3f, \u0c28\u0c3f\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c38\u0c39\u0c3e\u0c2f\u0c24\u0c28\u0c41 \u0c35\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c15\u0c4d\u0c24\u0c40\u0c15\u0c30\u0c3f\u0c02\u0c1a\u0c46\u0c28\u0c41.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>bravo (interjenction) \/ bra:v\u01ddu \/ (\u0c2c\u0c4d\u0c30\u0c3e\u0c35\u0c4b) (disyllabic) : exprssing praise \u0c05\u0c2d\u0c3f\u0c28\u0c02\u0c26\u0c28 \u0c24\u0c46\u0c32\u0c3f\u0c2a\u0c47 \u0c06\u0c36\u0c4d\u0c1a\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c3e\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c25\u0c15\u0c02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>interrupt (v) \/ int\u01ddrapt \/ (\u0c07\u0c02\u0c1f\u0c30\u0c2a\u0c4d \u0c1f\u0c4d) (trisyllabic) : to stop others\u2019 action or words, \u0c07\u0c24\u0c30\u0c41\u0c32\u0c41 \u0c2e\u0c3e\u0c1f\u0c32\u0c28\u0c41, \u0c1a\u0c47\u0c24\u0c32\u0c28\u0c41 \u0c2e\u0c27\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c32\u0c4b\u0c28\u0c41 \u0c06\u0c2a\u0c41, \u0915\u094d\u0930\u092e\u092d\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pat (v) \/ p\u00e6t \/ (\u0c2a\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c3e\u0c1f\u0c4d) (monosyllabic) : tap with the hand as an expression of compliments, \u0c05\u0c2d\u0c3f\u0c28\u0c02\u0c26\u0c28 \u0c2a\u0c42\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c35\u0c15\u0c02\u0c17\u0c3e \u0c1a\u0c47\u0c24\u0c3f\u0c24\u0c4b \u0c24\u0c1f\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c41, \u092f\u092a\u0925\u093e\u092a\u093e\u0928\u093e \u0920\u094b\u0915\u0928\u093e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>mysterious (adj) \/ misti\u01ddries \/ (\u0c2e\u0c3f\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c1f\u0c3f \u0c05\u0c30\u0c3f \u0c05\u0c38\u0c4d) (trysyllabic) : unknown, difficult to understand, \u0c24\u0c46\u0c32\u0c3f\u0c2f\u0c28\u0c3f, \u0c24\u0c47\u0c32\u0c3f\u0c15\u0c17\u0c3e \u0c05\u0c30\u0c4d\u0c25\u0c02\u0c15\u0c3e\u0c28\u0c3f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paragraph Answer Questions (Section \u2013 A, Q.No. 5, Marks : 4) Question 1.
