Q-3

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The Last Stanza of this poetry is quite famous

and everyone might have heard it.

Give the name of the poem and the poet.

Q-14 ID X

In the late 1970s, the capital shifted to the newly built, well planned city

of Gandhinagar. This marked the start of a long period of decline in the

city, marked by a lack of development. In February 1974, Ahmedabad occupied the centre-stage of national politics with launch of the Nav

Nirman agitation. It started off as an argument over a 20% hike in food

bill in the X, but ignited an agitation which later snowballed into the

Nav Nirman movement. This movement caused the then chief minister

of Gujarat, Chimanbhai Patel, to resign and also gave Indira Gandhi

one of the excuses for imposing the Emergency on June 25, 1975.

X as a concept dates back to 1993, when Brad Bird sketched the family during a period in which he tried to break into film.

Personal issues had percolated into the story as they weighed on

him in life. During this time, Bird had inked a production deal with

Warner Bros. Animation and was in the process of directing his

first feature, The Iron Giant. Approaching middle age and

having high aspirations for his filmmaking, Bird pondered

whether his career goals were attainable only at the price of his

family life. He stated, "Consciously, this was just a funny movie

about superheroes. But I think that what was going on in my life

definitely filtered into the movie." After the box office failure of

The Iron Giant, Bird gravitated toward his superhero story.
