Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • For the first question: The word "sulking" implies a negative emotion, often associated with being punished. There is no indication in the text that he likes sitting in the corner (no prior mention of preference), no clues about him being spoiled (no behavior like demanding things), and he is described as "sulking" not reading (so no indication of looking for a reading place).
  • For the second question: The mother has a "cool rag lying across her forehead" which is a common sign of not feeling well (like having a fever or headache). There is no mention of her reading (so can't infer she fell asleep while reading), no information about her working in the garden (no garden - related activities described), and just this one instance of resting doesn't imply she takes naps each day.

Answer:

  • First question: He is being punished.
  • Second question: She is not feeling well.
