The people accepted at once that Ernest himself was the noblest and the greatest man bearing the likeness of the stone face.

There was a rumour in the valley that the great man, who would look like the Great Stone Face, had appeared at last. A young man, named Gathergold had left the valley. He had grown a rich merchant by the time he became old. He had decided to return to his native valley. He had the living likeness of the Great Stone Face. It made the people of the valley think that the prophecy was about to come true for the first time.

(1) What prophecy is meant by you, dear Mother ?

(2) He was told a story by his mother.

(3) It was taken to be nothing but idle talk by others.

(4) The story that was told by his mother was never forgotten by Ernest.

(5 ) The valley was still being gazed up by the boy.

(6) Nothing remarkable in his way of life was seen by them.

(7) That the Great Stone Face had become a teacher to him was not known by them.

a. The sky has a magical quality because it has scurrying clouds, twinkling stars and a beautiful moon.

b. because it can teach us how to love.

c. We should believe that we are | strong and courageous so that we can recover after we have gone through difficulties and shocks, and return to our normal lives again.

The words ‘To believe is to ….’ are repeated at the beginning of each stanza. This provides emphasis to the message in the poem and gives rhythm to the stanzas.

We should believe that we are strong and courageous so that we can recover after we have gone through difficulties and shocks, and return to our normal lives again.

(i) The Great Stone Face was a work of nature. It was formed naturally on the side of a mountain by some huge rocks. They had been thrown together in such a position so that, when viewed from some distance, they resembled the face of a human face. If the spectator approached too near, the outline of the face would disappear into a heap of gigantic rocks. It was the belief of many people that the valley owed much of its fertility to the kind face of the Great Stone that was continually looking over it. 

(ii) Young Ernest gazed at the Great Stone Face. It smiled to him. Ernest wished that it could speak because it looked very kind. He thought its voice must be pleasant. He would love the man dearly whoever bore such face.

No, Ernest did not believe that the old prophecy had come true. Even though everybody had agreed that he was the likeness of the Great Stone Face, he himself hoped that some wiser and better man than himself would appear, bearing a resemblance to the Great Stone Face.

No, Ernest himself did not believe so because he was very humble and also an ideal person.

The Anti-Slavery Society’s latest publication : ‘A Pattern of Slavery : India’s Carpet Boys’ did so.

एन्टी स्लेवरि सँसाईअटि का नवीनतम प्रकाशन : अ पैटॅन ऑव स्लेवरी : इंडियाज कापिट बोइज’ ने ऐसा किया।

It is so because human rights won’t be properly understood and respected in a cultural and economic vacuum. People who live below the minimum subsistence level, their human rights are least regarded.

ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि सांस्कृतिक व आर्थिक शून्य में उनके मानव अधिकारों को न तो ठीक से समझा जायेगा व न ही सम्मान दिया जायेगा। वे लोग जो न्यूनतम जीवन निर्वाह स्तर से नीचे रहते हैं। उनके मानव अधिकारों को न्यूनतम सम्मान दिया जाता है।

C. ‘my gifted guest’.

The concept of human rights has found its way through the subsoil of human consciousness with speed and strength. The slow drip of Amnesty International has begun to work. Human rights inspections and publicising of abuses are the driving forces.

मानव अधिकारों की अवधारणा ने मानव संचेतना की अवमृदा के माध्यम गति वै ताकत से अपनी जगह बनाई है। अमनेस्टि इंटेरनेशनल की धीमी ड्रिप ने भी काम करना आरम्भ कर दिया है। मानव अधिकारों का निरीक्षण व इसके दुरुपयोगों का प्रचार भी एक महत्त्वपूर्ण ताकत है।

The first is the human rights and the second is the growing solidarity on the human rights.

प्रथम है मानव अधिकार व द्वितीय है मानव अधिकारों पर बढ़ती एकता।।

They are first the totalitarian states and second, the free democracies.

ये, पहले तो सत्तावादी राष्ट्र हैं तथा दूसरे, स्वतंत्र लोकतंत्र हैं।

This awareness has increased since the human rights movement started as a world movement.

यह जागरूकता तब से बढ़ गई है जब से मानव अधिकार आन्दोलन विश्व आन्दोलन के रूप में आरम्भ हुआ है।

(d) rights to operate against the government.

Measures to put end to the violation of human rights:

1. Respect the freedom or rights of others.
2. Not to violate the rules or laws.
3. Have veneration for the dignity of others.
4. Not to encroach over the public property/place.
5. Avoid quarreling over petty issues.

Human rights sound like empty rhetoric to the people who live in economic chains.

मानव अधिकार व्यर्थ की वाक्पटुता जैसा उन लोगों को लगता है जो आर्थिक बंधन में रहते हैं।

The primary idea of human rights involves rights against the government. Modern liberalism has included the rights to be satisfied by the government. Claims or entitlements fall under human needs. People have economic and social needs.

मानव अधिकारों का प्रधान विचार सरकार के विरुद्ध अधिकारों को सम्मिलित करता है। आधुनिक उदारवाद ने उन अधिकारों को भी सम्मिलित किया है जो सरकार द्वारा पूर्ण किये जाते हैं। दावे व हकदारी मानव आवश्यकताओं के अन्तर्गत आते हैं। लोग आर्थिक व सामाजिक आवश्यकताएँ रखते हैं।

Is freedom fragile and evanescent?
It appears that freedom is fragile and evanescent. ‘Freedom is fragile. It can be restricted or withdrawn by governments. At the time of riots, curfew, wars etc. it is either curtailed or withdrawn. At the time of a visit of a VIP, it’s restricted. At the time of emergency, it is minimized or suspended. At the time of economic crisies, it is reduced. At the time of violence, it is withdrawn. Freedom is evanescent. Our freedom ends where other’s begins. A criminal’s freedom is at once restricted as and when she/he is arrested. A citizen’s freedom is immediately reduced as soon as she/he uses a public transport system or a public place.

The totalitarian states pay lip service to human rights at international forums.

सत्तावादी राष्ट्र अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय मंचों पर मानव अधिकारों के प्रति चिकनी-चुपड़ी बातें ही करते हैं।

Nearly four-fifths of the 160 members of the United Nations do not permit freedom of the press.

Less legal restrictions:

Compared to other business forms there are lesser regulatory and legal controls on the proprietorship firm. The proprietor does not need to take approval from anyone for making changes in his business methods increase or decrease capital etc. Moreover, since the business is small, regulatory controls are also less.

A sole proprietorship has one owner. 

Explanation: 

Sole means one and proprietor means owner. Therefore, a sole proprietorship is the one which is controlled and managed by only one or single owner.
