SUBJECTIVE PART
A. Translate the following paragraphs in Urdu. 10+10
i. Sweat popped out on the boy’s face and he began to struggle. Mrs. Jones stopped, jerked him
around in front of her, put a half-nelson about his neck, and continued to drag him up the
street. When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside, down a hall, and into a large
kitchenette furnished room at the rear of the house. She switched on the light and left the door
open. The boy could hear other roomers laughing and talking in the large house. Some of
their doors were open, too, so he knew he and the woman were not alone. The woman still
had him by the neck in the middle of her room.
ii. While she was stacking dishes, she turned abruptly, dried her hands, and took the package
from the bottom cabinet. Opening it, she set the button unit on the table. She stared at it for a

the button. How ridiculous, she thought. All this furor over a meaningless button.
B. Explain the following stanzas with reference to context. 5+5
i. Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
