Answers for 2-Mark Questions | www.WithTeachers.in

Answer 🎯.1 The beggar pleaded for pity, stating that he had nothing to eat for three days and hadn't five copecks for a lodging. Answer 🎯.2 He claimed that for eight years he was a village school teacher and had lost his place through intrigues, having had nothing to do for a year. Answer 🎯.3 Sergei looked at his overshoes, one of which was high and the other low, and suddenly remembered meeting him before. Answer 🎯.4 In Sadovya Street, the beggar had claimed to be a student who had been expelled. Answer 🎯.5 Sergei flushed, turned from the ragged creature with disgust, cried angrily that it was swindling, and threatened to send the police. Answer 🎯.6 Formerly, he sang in a Russian choir and was sent away for drunkenness. Answer 🎯.7 The beggar claimed that no one would give him anything if he told the truth, so he could not get along without lying. Answer 🎯.8 Sergei offered the beggar the job of chopping wood for him. Answer 🎯.9 He consented not because he was hungry and wanted work, but from pride and shame, because he had been trapped by his own words. Answer 🎯.10 Olga glared wrathfully at her companion, shoved him aside with her elbow, unlocked the shed, and angrily banged the door. Answer 🎯.11 He saw the pseudo-teacher seat himself on a log, become lost in thought, and then saw Olga fling an axe at his feet and begin to scold him. Answer 🎯.12 His strength had been undermined by vodka, he was unhealthy, and did not feel the slightest inclination for toil. Answer 🎯.13 He pulled a billet of wood, set it between his feet, tapped it feebly and cautiously as if afraid of hitting his overshoe or cutting his finger, and the stick fell to the ground. Answer 🎯.14 Sergei felt sorry and ashamed for having set a spoiled, drunken, and perhaps sick man to work at menial labour in the cold. Answer 🎯.15 Sergei said "Good!", told Olga to give him half a rouble, and said he could come back to cut wood on the first day of each month. Answer 🎯.16 Lushkoff would shovel snow, put the wood-shed in order, and beat the dust out of rugs and mattresses. Answer 🎯.17 Lushkoff was sober, gloomy, and silent; he hardly touched the furniture, walked behind the wagons hanging his head, and only shivered in the cold. Answer 🎯.18 Since Lushkoff knew how to write, Sergei told him to take a letter to a friend to get some copying work. Answer 🎯.19 Sergei met Lushkoff at the ticket window of a theatre paying for his seat. Answer 🎯.20 Lushkoff was dressed in a coat collar of curly fur and a worn sealskin cap. Answer 🎯.21 Lushkoff was working as a notary and was paid thirty-five roubles a month. Answer 🎯.22 Sergei called him his godson because he believed he had given Lushkoff a push along the right path by scolding him and offering him work. Answer 🎯.23 Lushkoff stated that while he was grateful to Sergei, it was strictly speaking Sergei's cook, Olga, who actually saved him. Answer 🎯.24 Olga used to scold him, call him a miserable creature and a drunkard, weep for him, and express deep sadness for his ruined life. Answer 🎯.25 Lushkoff revealed that he had never chopped a single stick of wood for Sergei; the cook, Olga, had chopped all the wood for him.

Section B: 3-Mark Questions (20 Questions)

(Questions with immediate answers for www.WithTeachers.in)

Question ❓.1 Describe the physical appearance of the beggar when Sergei first met him. Answer 🎯.1 The beggar wore a ragged, fawn-coloured overcoat and had dull, drunken eyes with a red spot on either cheek. His overshoes were mismatched, with one being high and the other low.

Question ❓.2 How did Sergei expose the beggar's lies? Answer 🎯.2 Sergei noticed the beggar's mismatched overshoes and remembered meeting him two days earlier in Sadovya Street. He confronted the beggar, reminding him that he had previously claimed to be an expelled student rather than a village school teacher.

Question ❓.3 What explanation did the beggar give for his continuous lying? Answer 🎯.3 The beggar, placing his hand on his heart, confessed that he was actually sent away from a Russian choir for drunkenness. He explained that he had to lie because no one would give him any money or help if he told the ugly truth about his past.

Question ❓.4 Why did the beggar ultimately agree to chop wood for Sergei? Answer 🎯.4 The beggar did not agree because he was genuinely hungry or eager for hard labor, as his health was ruined by vodka. He agreed simply out of pride and shame, realizing he had been completely trapped by his own words when Sergei challenged him to work.

Question ❓.5 Describe Olga's attitude towards the beggar when she took him to the woodshed. Answer 🎯.5 Olga was extremely hostile and disgusted by the beggar. She glared wrathfully at him, shoved him aside with her elbow to unlock the shed, banged the door angrily, flung an axe at his feet, and spat in anger.

Question ❓.6 How did Sergei's feelings change while he watched the beggar from the dining room window? Answer 🎯.6 Initially, Sergei was angry and disgusted by the beggar's lies and laziness. However, seeing the freezing, sick, and drunken man struggling feebly with the axe in the cold yard, Sergei's anger vanished and he felt sorry and ashamed of himself for forcing him into menial labor.

Question ❓.7 What kind of relationship did Lushkoff have with Sergei's household after his first day of chopping wood? Answer 🎯.7 Lushkoff became a regular waif at Sergei's household. He would appear on the first of every month, and work was always found for him, such as shoveling snow, arranging the wood-shed, or beating dust out of rugs, for which he earned twenty to forty copecks.

Question ❓.8 Describe Lushkoff's behavior during the moving of Sergei's furniture. Answer 🎯.8 During the packing and hauling of furniture, Lushkoff was completely sober, gloomy, and silent. He hardly touched the furniture, did not even pretend to appear busy, and simply walked behind the wagons hanging his head while shivering in the cold.

Question ❓.9 Why did Sergei offer Lushkoff a different job, and what was it? Answer 🎯.9 Sergei noticed that Lushkoff was sober and had no objection to work. Upon finding out that Lushkoff could write, Sergei offered him cleaner employment by giving him a letter to take to a friend who would provide him with copying work.

Question ❓.10 How did the encounter at the theatre prove that Lushkoff's life had changed? Answer 🎯.10 The encounter proved his transformation because Lushkoff was no longer a ragged beggar. He was well-dressed in a coat collar of curly fur and a sealskin cap, and he proudly paid for his gallery seat, revealing he was now a notary earning thirty-five roubles a month.

Question ❓.11 Why did Sergei consider himself responsible for Lushkoff's success? Answer 🎯.11 Sergei was delighted and called Lushkoff his "godson" because he believed his harsh scolding (roasting) and the initial offer of work had forced the beggar out of his miserable life. He felt he had personally given Lushkoff a push along the right path.

Question ❓.12 How did Lushkoff acknowledge Sergei's role in his life? Answer 🎯.12 Lushkoff expressed deep gratitude to Sergei for his kind words and deeds. He admitted that if he hadn't come to Sergei, he might still be calling himself a teacher or a student, and that Sergei's protection dragged him out of a pit.

Question ❓.13 What was the true nature of Olga's treatment of Lushkoff in the woodshed? Answer 🎯.13 Although Olga's outward behavior was harsh and abusive, calling him a "miserable creature" and a "sot," her true nature was compassionate. She would sit opposite him, weep out of genuine sadness for his ruined life, and ultimately chop all the wood for him.

Question ❓.14 How did Olga's actions bring about a change in Lushkoff? Answer 🎯.14 Olga's selfless noble deeds and the misery she suffered for his sake deeply touched Lushkoff's heart. Seeing her chop the wood for him out of sheer pity caused a profound internal change, making him stop drinking and setting him on the right path.

Question ❓.15 What is the irony in Sergei's belief about Lushkoff's reformation? Answer 🎯.15 The irony lies in Sergei's immense pride. Sergei believed his strict lectures and menial labor disciplined the beggar, but in reality, the beggar never chopped a single stick of wood; it was the cook's silent labor and tears that truly reformed him.

Question ❓.16 Discuss the significance of the "roasting" Sergei gave Lushkoff. Answer 🎯.16 The "roasting" or severe scolding served as the catalyst for the story's events. It broke down Lushkoff's web of lies, forced him to face his reality, and led him into Sergei's yard where he eventually met Olga, who changed his life.

Question ❓.17 How does the author highlight the physical weakness of Lushkoff? Answer 🎯.17 Chekhov highlights his weakness by describing him as a "scarecrow of a beggar" whose strength was undermined by vodka. When attempting to chop wood, he tapped the billet feebly and cautiously, and could barely stand on his legs even when he returned for work later.

Question ❓.18 What does Lushkoff's final job as a notary indicate about his character? Answer 🎯.18 Becoming a notary—a respectable, literate profession earning a stable salary of thirty-five roubles a month—indicates that Lushkoff was inherently capable and educated. Once free from the grip of alcoholism, he successfully reclaimed his dignity and intellect.

Question ❓.19 Why did Lushkoff call Olga a "good and noble woman"? Answer 🎯.19 Lushkoff called her noble because she looked past his disgusting, drunken exterior. She took on his heavy physical labor (chopping wood) without taking any credit, enduring emotional misery for a complete stranger just to save his soul.

Question ❓.20 What overarching message does Anton Chekhov convey through "The Beggar"? Answer 🎯.20 Chekhov conveys that while strict discipline and harsh truths (represented by Sergei) can force a person to face reality, it is true empathy, selfless kindness, and compassionate actions (represented by Olga) that possess the power to truly heal and transform a broken human heart.
