Answers With Explanation: 1. c) He said that he was well. (In indirect speech, present indefinite becomes past indefinite if the reporting verb is in the past tense. 'I' becomes 'he'. Reporting verb past tense এ থাকলে Reported speech এর tense পরিবর্তন হয়। I became he and am became was.) 2. b) He said that he had met her long ago. (Past Indefinite ('met') becomes Past Perfect ('had met') in indirect speech. Past Indefinite থাকলে Past Perfect Tense হয়।) 3. a) He said, "I saw him long ago." (This is the reverse of Q2. 'Had seen' (Past Perfect) comes from 'Saw' (Past Indefinite). Also, 'long before' in indirect speech comes from 'long ago' in direct speech. Past Perfect থেকে Past Indefinite এ রূপান্তর।) 4. d) He said that we are all sinners. (Universal truths or habitual facts do not change tense in indirect speech. "We are all sinners" is considered a universal statement here. চিরন্তন সত্য বা অভ্যাসবশত কর্ম বোঝালে Tense এর পরিবর্তন হয় না।) 5. d) Anis said that he had to write a letter. ('Must' typically changes to 'had to' in indirect speech when it indicates obligation. Must এর পরিবর্তে had to বসে।) 6. c) My father said that he would have a cup of tea because he wasn't hungry ('Will' changes to 'would', and 'am not' changes to 'wasn't'. Will পরিবর্তিত হয়ে would এবং am পরিবর্তিত হয়ে was হয়েছে।) 7. a) She asked me if I was happy in my new job. (Interrogative sentences starting with auxiliary verbs take 'if' or 'whether'. Present tense 'are' changes to past 'was'. প্রশ্নবোধক বাক্যে if/whether বসে এবং Tense পরিবর্তন হয়।) 8. c) He asked me where I had been born. (Wh-questions retain the wh-word. 'Were born' (Past Indefinite) changes to 'had been born' (Past Perfect). Note: Often 'was born' is kept as 'was born', but strictly Past Indefinite -> Past Perfect. The key selects 'c'. Past Indefinite থাকলে Past Perfect হয়।) 9. a) A man asked his father what he was doing. (Present Continuous ('are doing') changes to Past Continuous ('was doing'). Present Continuous থেকে Past Continuous হয়।) 10. b) She asked me if I was a student ('Are you' changes to 'if I was'. Interrogative sentence rule applied. প্রশ্নবোধক বাক্যে if বসে এবং verb subject এর পরে যায়।) 11. d) I ordered someone to do it. (Imperative sentence expressing command uses 'ordered'. 'Do it' becomes 'to do it'. আদেশ বুঝালে ordered ... to বসে।) 12. a) My friends warned me not to leave my room unlocked. ('Had better' implies a strong piece of advice or warning. 'Warned' captures this tone. সতর্ক করা অর্থে warned বসে।) 13. c) He respectfully begged his master to forgive him.  (Note: Option 'c' in source text is garbled/missing full text, but standard conversion for 'Sir' is 'respectfully'. The key says 13.c. Usually, "begged to forgive" is used. 'Sir' এর জন্য respectfully বসে।) 14. b) He proposed to me that we should go home together. ('Let us' implies a proposal. Structure: Subject + proposed + that + we/they + should + verb. প্রস্তাব বুঝালে proposed ... that ... should বসে।) 15. d) He desired that he might have some milk. ('Let me' implies a wish or request, not a proposal. Structure: might/might be allowed to. ইচ্ছা বুঝালে desired/wished ... might বসে।) 16. b) He wished Mr. Kamal good morning. (Greetings like 'Good morning' use the verb 'wished'. সম্ভাষণ বুঝালে wished বসে।) 17. a) He thanked me. ('Thank you' changes to the verb 'thanked'. Thank you থাকলে subject + thanked + object হয়।) 18. c) He exclaimed that it was a great pity (Exclamatory sentences use 'exclaimed'. 'What a pity' becomes 'it was a great pity'. বিস্ময় বুঝালে exclaimed that ... great বসে।) 19. a) We wished that Bangladesh might live long. (Optative sentences use 'wished' or 'prayed'. 'May' (implied in Long live) becomes 'might'. ইচ্ছা বা প্রার্থনা বুঝালে wished/prayed ... might বসে।) 20. d) You asked me if I would help you kindly. (Polite requests with 'would...please' are reported using 'asked' and 'if'. 'Please' is often converted to 'kindly' or 'politely'. অনুরোধ বুঝালে asked ... if ... kindly বসে।) TOPIC: NARRATION QUESTIONS BCS Questions 01. Which one is the correct indirect narration?

Ans: D ব্যাখ্যা:  "Why have you beaten..." (Present Perfect) changes to "Why I had beaten..." (Past Perfect). The reporting verb 'said to me' can become 'demanded of me'. So "He demanded of me why I had beaten his dog" is correct. 02. Ans: A ব্যাখ্যা:  Universal truth (The earth moves...) does not change tense in indirect speech. "The earth moves  round the sun." 03. Ans: D ব্যাখ্যা:  "He said that he would  be unable to come." (Future in the past). 04. Ans: A ব্যাখ্যা:  "Are you happy...?" changes to "if I was happy...". Primary Answers 01. Ans: D ব্যাখ্যা:  Direct speech of "He said that he had done the work" is "He said, 'I did the work'". Or "He said, 'He did the work'". Wait, 'I' changes to 'he'. Tense 'did' (Past Indefinite) changes to 'had done' (Past Perfect). Option C "I do" -> "he did". Option A "I will" -> "he would". Option B "will be done" -> "would be done". So "He said, 'He did the work'" (if speaker is third person referring to third person) or "He said, 'I did the work'". Option D is "He said, 'He did the work'". Option C is "I do the work". If original is "I did", indirect is "he had done". Option D matches best if we assume the subject 'He' in quotes refers to someone else or is a typo for 'I'. Source says D. 02.

No, 'He said' is past). "He said that he had been  working". Option C says "has been". Option A says "had been". A is correct. Source says C? Let's check source 1525 Q9 Ans: C.

Ans: BExplanation:  "Time and tide wait for no man" (Proverb, 'wait' plural). Note: Modern usage sometimes allows singular 'waits', but exams often prefer plural. Wait, source Q60 says Ans B & C? "The horse and carriage is..." (Singular notion). "Time and tide wait" (Plural). Both are often tested. Source key says B. 61. Ans: DExplanation:  "Called me a coward". 62. Ans: CExplanation:  "Time and tide waits" - Here source selects C. This contradicts Q60 logic (where 'wait' was B). In Bangladesh exams, "Time and tide wait" (Plural) is traditional, but some sources accept "waits". Let's check source code. Source 1492 says Ans B,C for 60? No. Source 1492 for Q62 says Ans C, D. Wait, C "Time and tide waits for none". D "Has he got the information?". Both could be correct. But usually 'waits' is contentious. 'Information' is correct. I'll stick to source. 63.

Ans: CExplanation:  "Made a fun of"? No. "Made fun of". Option C has "a fun". Incorrect. Option D "A little number" (Incorrect, 'small number'). A "Credit... against". Correct. Source says C? "We made a fun of it". This is usually "We made fun of it". Maybe source considers A incorrect (to his account?). Let's re-evaluate. "Credit to his account" / "against his name". A seems okay. C seems wrong ("a fun"). Source says C. I will list C but flag it. 82.

Ans: AExplanation:  "Both... and" (Redundant?). No, "Nazrul is both a poet and a singer" is correct usage. Why redundant? "Both... as well as" is redundant. Option D uses "both... as well as". A is correct. The question asks for "redundant" or "correct"? "Which one of the following sentences is redundant?" D has "both... as well as", which is redundant. A is correct. Source says A. Maybe question asked for "Correct" sentence? "Nazrul is both a poet and a singer" is correct. D is redundant. If question is "Redundant", Answer is D. If question is "Correct", Answer is A. Based on typical BCS patterns, they ask for correct sentences. I'll assume A is correct sentence. 100.

'Information' আনকাউন্টেবল, তাই ভার্ব সিঙ্গুলার হয়।) 5. c) He has invited me for dinner. (The correct preposition is 'invite to'. 'Invite for' is commonly misused. সঠিক হলো 'invite to dinner'।) 6. a) He appeared at the exam. (Students 'appear at' or 'sit for' or 'take' an exam. 'Advice' is uncountable (no 's'). 'Absent' acts as a reflexive verb (absented herself). 'Go to a picnic' is usually 'go on a picnic'. পরীক্ষা দেওয়া অর্থে 'appear at' সঠিক।) 7. d) I went to my home. (Usually, we say "I went home". 'Home' acts as an adverb of place here, so 'to' is not used unless 'home' is modified in a specific way or context implies possession heavily, but standard usage is "went home". বাড়ি যাওয়া অর্থে 'go home' বসে, 'to' বসে না।) 8. b) We write in ink. (Write 'in' ink/pencil (uncountable substance). Write 'with' a pen/pencil (tool). কালিতে লেখা বুঝাতে 'in ink' বসে।) 9. a) The rich are not always happy. ('The rich' refers to the class of rich people and takes a plural verb. 'The rich' প্লুরাল কমন নাউন, তাই ভার্ব প্লুরাল হয়।) 10. a) Rahim ate almost the whole fish. ('Almost' should modify 'the whole fish' to mean he ate nearly all of it. If 'almost ate', it means he didn't eat it at all. 'Almost' সঠিক শব্দের আগে বসাতে হয়।) 11. d) The shirt which he bought is blue in colour. (Relative clause structure: Antecedent (shirt) + Relative Pronoun (which) + Clause. 'The shirt which...' is correct. 'That shirt which' is redundant or demonstrative mismatch.) 12. a) Each boy and each girl was given a prize (Subjects joined by 'and' but preceded by 'each' or 'every' take a singular verb. 'Each' থাকলে ভার্ব সিঙ্গুলার হয়।) 13. d) The two parties have different views of democracy. (Subject 'The two parties' is plural, so 'have' is correct. Views 'of' something is standard. 'Views to' is incorrect here.) 14. d) Each of the boys have a pen. ('Each of' takes a plural noun but a singular verb. It should be "Each of the boys has  a pen." 'Each of' থাকলে ভার্ব সিঙ্গুলার হয়।) 15. c) Students are giving an exam. (In standard English, students 'take' or 'sit' an exam, while teachers 'give' or 'set' it. "Students are giving" is a common error (Bengali translation influence). ছাত্ররা পরীক্ষা 'দেয়' (take), শিক্ষকরা পরীক্ষা 'নেন' (give)।) 16. c) There is no room for doubt in it. ('Room' is used to mean space or opportunity in abstract contexts. "No room for doubt" (সন্দেহের অবকাশ নেই)।) 17. c) He has scarcely any money. ('Prefer...to' is correct, not 'than'. 'Comparatively' takes positive degree. 'Fluent' should be 'more fluent'. 'Scarcely any' is correct usage. 'Scarcely' মানে 'নেই বললেই চলে'।) 18. c) I think of him as my best friend. (The correct idiom is "think of someone as something". 'Think him to be' is archaic or less standard. কাউকে কিছু মনে করা অর্থে 'think of ... as' বসে।) 19. b) Men usually want to have their own way. (The idiom is "have one's own way" (নিজের ইচ্ছামতো চলা). 'Ways' is incorrect in this idiom. 'Men' plural, so 'want' and 'their' are correct. বাগধারাটি হলো 'have one's own way'।) 20. d) I am very busy this morning. ('One' should be followed by 'one's' (not his). 'Stay home' or 'stay at home' is acceptable, but 'I stay home' implies habit, Q20.b might be correct contextually but D is indisputably correct. 'Absent' needs reflexive. D is grammatically flawless.) 21. c) He has invited me for dinner. (Repetition of Question 5. 'Invite to' is correct. 'Invite for' ভুল।) 22. b) He will come short. (The idiom is "run short" (ফুরিয়ে যাওয়া) or "fall short" (কম হওয়া). "Come short" is not a standard idiom for deficiency. সঠিক ইডিয়ম হলো 'run short' বা 'fall short'।) 23. b) Does he have a house? (Interrogative with 'he' (3rd person singular) requires 'Does'. Base verb 'have' follows 'Does'. 'He' এর সাথে 'Does' বসে।) 24. b) Haven't you met ('Yet' is used in negative Perfect tense. 'Yet' থাকলে Present Perfect Tense এর negative form হয়।) 25. c) An Akbar is not born in every age (Proper noun used as a common noun (meaning 'a person like Akbar') takes an article. 'An' is used before 'Akbar' (vowel sound). বিশিষ্ট ব্যক্তির সাথে তুলনা বুঝাতে Proper noun এর আগে Article বসে।) 26. c) Whole Bangladesh mourned his death. (It should be "The whole of Bangladesh" or "The whole country". 'Whole' adjective হিসেবে proper noun এর আগে সরাসরি বসে না, 'The whole of' বসে। সঠিক: The whole of Bangladesh...)

To complete the sentence 'Hardly had I reached the station __ the train left; we need: [Foreign Ministry 2022] A. than B. then C. but D. before ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS BCS Answers 01. Ans: BExplanation:  The indirect speech changes tense and deictic words appropriately. "Said to me that he will go but I will stay here" uses 'will' and 'here', which suggests a very recent or future context or incorrect tense change in typical reported speech questions. However, option B says "He has told me that he will go but I will stay here in Dhaka." If the reporting verb is in present perfect ("has told"), the tense of the reported speech does not change. So "will" remains "will". This makes B grammatically correct for a reporting verb in present perfect. 02. Ans: CExplanation:  Structure: Past perfect + before + Past indefinite. (My father had left  before I came). 03. Ans: BExplanation:  "It is high time" is followed by the past subjunctive (past simple form). So "acted" is correct. 04. Ans: DExplanation:  'Police' is a collective noun treated as plural. The sentence is in the past ('yesterday') and passive voice. So "were informed" is correct. 05. Ans: BExplanation:  The correct collocation is "feel the pulse" or "take the pulse" when a doctor checks it. "The doctor took my pulse" is a standard expression. "Feel" is also used. Between options provided in standard exams, "took" or "felt" are common. The question asks for the correct sentence. "The doctor felt my pulse" is also common. But here "took" is option B. 06. Ans: CExplanation:  "All of it" takes a singular verb because 'it' is singular. "Depends" is correct. 07. Ans: DExplanation:  "Yesterday" indicates Past Indefinite tense. So "He went home" is correct. 08. Ans: BExplanation:  The correct preposition after 'detrimental' is 'to', not 'for'. So "Laziness is detrimental for  success" is the wrong sentence. 09. Ans: BExplanation:  "Intend" is followed by to-infinitive or gerund, but "intend going" is less common than "intend to go". However, "invite for dinner" is usually "invite to dinner". "Miserly to part with" is correct. "No desire for" is correct. Between B and D, "invite for dinner" is often considered incorrect (should be "to"). But "intend going" is also debated. Standard error analysis often points to "invite for" vs "invite to". 10. Ans: AExplanation:  "Why have you done this?" is a correct interrogative present perfect sentence. 11. Ans: CExplanation:  "Stand up" is an imperative sentence (Subject 'You' is implied). 12. Ans: CExplanation:  "Everybody" is singular. So "has gone" is correct. 13. Ans: CExplanation:  The relative clause "who stole my bag" should be placed next to the noun it modifies ("The man"). So "The man who stole my bag was tall" is correct. 14. Ans: BExplanation:  Past Perfect (had looked) + before + Past Indefinite (met). 15. Ans: AExplanation:  "While" is followed by continuous tense. "While your father is sleeping ". 16. Ans: BExplanation:  Past Indefinite + after + Past Perfect (had left). 17. Ans: DExplanation:  "In hospital" (as a patient) + "for six weeks" (duration) + "during the summer" (time period). This order is most natural and grammatically standard. 18. Ans: AExplanation:  "Almost" should modify "the whole fish". "Rahim ate almost the whole fish". 20. Ans: DExplanation:  Superlative degree takes 'the'. "The Nile is the  longest river in Africa." 21. Ans: BExplanation:  "One of" + plural noun + singular verb. "One of my friends is  a lawyer." 22. Ans: DExplanation:  "The shirt which he bought is blue in colour." This is the most grammatically complete and standard form. 23. Ans: AExplanation:  The correct proverb is "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." 24. Ans: CExplanation:  "Too...to" structure. "He was too clever to miss  the point" (He was so clever that he did not miss it). Or "He was too clever not to  miss"? No, "too clever to miss" means he didn't miss it. Wait. "Too clever to miss" = He was so clever that he missed it? No. "Too weak to walk" = So weak that he cannot walk. "Too clever to miss" = So clever that he cannot miss? No, that he would  miss. The meaning "He didn't miss the point" is expressed by "He was too clever to miss". Wait. If he is clever, he shouldn't  miss it. "Too clever to be deceived" (He wasn't deceived). "Too clever to miss" = He didn't miss? No, usually positive adjective + to infinitive implies the negative result of the infinitive. "Too clever to miss" might be ambiguous or mean he did  miss? Actually, "He was too clever not  to miss" is often tested. Let's check the source answer. Source says C. "He was too clever to miss the point." 25. Ans: BExplanation:  'Let' is followed by the objective case. "Let you and him  be witnesses." (You is object, He -> Him). 26. Ans: DExplanation:  "The rich" is plural. "The rich are  not always happy." 27. Ans: BExplanation:  Reported speech for a yes/no question uses "if" or "whether". "I asked Javed if  he had passed." 28. Ans: BExplanation:  "Each of the three boys" takes a singular verb? No, "got" is past. But "Each" is correct for "three". "A few" implies not all. "Every" cannot be used with "of" directly (Every of is wrong). "All" is possible, but "Each" emphasizes individuals. Source says B. 29. Ans: BExplanation:  "Till he came" connects the waiting to an event in the past. Primary Questions 01. Ans: BExplanation:  "One of" + plural noun (friends) + singular verb (is). 02. Ans: BExplanation:  "Need" acts as a modal auxiliary here (followed by 'not'), so it takes no 's' and bare infinitive. "He need not go." 03. Ans: CExplanation:  "Reach" does not take a preposition (at) when it means arriving at a place. "We reached home" is correct. "Reached at home" is incorrect. 04. Ans: CExplanation:  Noun clause as subject. "What he has said is right." 05. Ans: DExplanation:  "Know how to" is the correct structure. "He does not know how to  swim." 06. Ans: AExplanation:  "Each" + singular verb/pronoun. But here it is "Each of the three boys got ". All options use "got" (past). "Each" emphasizes individual receipt. Source says A. 07. Ans: AExplanation:  "The poor" is plural. "The poor are ...". 08. Ans: BExplanation:  Distance (Fifty miles) is treated as a singular unit. "Is a long distance." 09. Ans: DExplanation:  "Perfect" is a non-gradable adjective, so "most/very" are technically redundant, though often used. "He is a perfect judge" is the most formally correct. 10. Ans: DExplanation:  "Feel the pulse" is a correct idiom. "I felt his pulse." (Past of feel). 11. Ans: AExplanation:  "As...as" connects subjective cases. "He is as good as I (am)." 12. Ans: DExplanation:  "The rich" (plural concept) + plural verb "are". 13. Ans: CExplanation:  "The Airport" (specific) or "Airport" (general)? "The Airport is a busy place" is grammatical. 14. Ans: DExplanation:  "The shirt which he bought is blue in colour." 15. Ans: DExplanation:  Order of persons: 2nd, 3rd, 1st (You, he and I). Verb agrees with plural subject "are". Wait, "You, he and I" is plural. "Are present". Source says D. 16.

Though he failed, he continued trying. এখানে বৈপরীত্য বোঝাতে 'but' ব্যবহৃত হয়েছে। ) 2. d) because it was raining (The clause needs a subject and a verb in the past tense to match "It was difficult". 'Because the rain' lacks a verb, and 'because it is raining' has the wrong tense. ) 3. c) In spite of ('In spite of' is used to show contrast with a noun phrase or gerund ("his becoming"). 'Despite of' is incorrect grammar; it should be just 'despite'. ) 4. c) Although ('Although' is used to introduce a concessive clause. "Although I didn't understand everything, I enjoyed the lecture." ) 5. c) if (This describes a scientific fact or condition. "Water boils if  you heat it..." ) 6. d) otherwise ('Otherwise' implies a negative consequence if the action is not taken. "Walk quickly, otherwise (if not) you will miss the bus." ) 7. b) since (Here 'since' gives the reason for their suffering. ) 8. a) lest ('Lest' means "for fear that" and is followed by 'might' or 'should'. "Hurry up lest you might be late..." ) 9. b) than ('No sooner' is always followed by 'than'. ) 10. b) when ('Hardly had' is always followed by 'when'. ) 11. c) therefore ('Therefore' indicates a logical conclusion. 2a=10 means a=5, so it is a logical result. ) 12. d) despite ('Despite' is a preposition meaning 'in spite of' and does not take 'of'.

"Take umbrella in case it rains." ) 15. d) in case (Similar to Q14, 'in case' implies doing something now to prepare for a possibility (forgetting) later. ) 16. c) otherwise (Though the key says 16.c ('till' in some keys, 'otherwise' in others), contextually "Show your ticket, otherwise  you will not be allowed" is the most logical fit for a warning. However, source key indicates 'c'. If 'c' is 'otherwise' in the specific source layout, it fits. If 'c' is 'till', it makes less sense unless meaning "Wait till...". Based on standard grammar, 'otherwise' is correct. ) Note: Source key explicitly maps 16 to c. In the option list, 'otherwise' is option 'b' or 'c' depending on column. Let's assume 'otherwise' is the intended answer. 17. d) as (The structure "so ... as" is used for comparison. "Nothing seems so exciting as ..." ) 18. a) before ("Put your money safe before  it gets stolen" indicates time. ) 19. a) lest (Repetition of Question 8.

"Cannot afford a fan, let alone  an AC." ) 21. c) but also ('Not only' is paired with 'but also'. ) 22. a) unless I am ("I shall not go unless I am  invited." 'Until' is time-based, 'Unless' is condition-based. ) 23. a) Whether ("Whether ... or" is used to introduce alternatives. "Whether his parents allow him or not..." ) 24. b) When ("When we approached the house, we heard..." indicates the time of the event. ) TOPIC: CONJUNCTION QUESTIONS BCS Questions 01.

Ans: C Explanation:  "Starving in greater numbers" বা "more numerously". এখানে সঠিক গঠন "in greater numbers" (D) বেশি প্রচলিত, কিন্তু প্রশ্নের উত্তরে 'C' দেওয়া হয়েছে। Correction : Source says C. "More numerously" is an adverb phrase modifying starving. However, standard English often uses "in greater numbers". Based on the provided answer key, it is C. 02. Ans: A Explanation:  'Text' (Noun) book (Noun). প্রথম Text শব্দটি Book কে মডিফাই করায় এটি Noun Adjective। কিন্তু অপশনে 'Adjective and Noun' নেই যা সঠিক ক্রম হতো (প্রথমটি Adjective, দ্বিতীয়টি Noun)। অপশন A 'Noun and Adjective' বলছে। আসলে প্রথমটি Noun যা Adjective এর কাজ করছে। উত্তর A (Noun and Adjective) সম্ভবত টেকনিক্যাল অর্থে বলা হয়েছে যে 'text' মূলত noun এবং 'book' noun। কিন্তু ফাংশনালি প্রথমটি adjective। সোর্স বলছে A । কিন্তু ব্যাখ্যায় বলছে "Article এবং Possessive form এর পর দুটি word থাকলে শেষের word টি noun এবং পূর্বের word টি Adjective হয়"। সেই হিসেবে 'Text' হলো Adjective এবং 'Book' হলো Noun। তাহলে সঠিক উত্তর হওয়া উচিত C (Adjective and Noun) । Source Check : Source 910 says Ans: A. Explanation says "Article... শেষের word টি noun এবং পূর্বের word টি Adjective হয়। সুতরাং অপশন A সঠিক উত্তর।" This explanation contradicts Option A's label. If the explanation says "Former is Adjective, Latter is Noun", then Option C fits. Let's assume there's a typo in the source's option A label or answer key. Based on grammar rules: Text (Adj), Book (Noun). 03. Ans: D Explanation:  Humble, Humane, Humid হলো Adjective। Humor হলো Noun। 04. Ans: D Explanation:  শব্দের শেষে 'ous' থাকলে তা Adjective হয়। 05.

Ans: A Explanation:  'As many people as possible' (People কাউন্টেবল, তাই many)। 02. Ans: C Explanation:  'Every' শব্দটি 'man' কে মডিফাই করছে, তাই এটি Adjective (Distributive Adjective)। 03. Ans: D Explanation:  Hardness (Noun) -> Hard (Adjective)। 04. Ans: D Explanation:  'Biggest' সঠিক। কিন্তু প্রশ্নে 'incorrect' চেয়েছে। Tallest, Largest, Biggest সব সঠিক Superlative form। তাহলে ভুল কোনটি? হয়তো প্রশ্নে বা অপশনে কোনো টাইপো আছে। সোর্স ৯২১ বলছে Ans: D। উত্তরের অপশন D তে কিছু ছিল না বা 'None' ছিল। 05. Ans: C Explanation:  One of the + Superlative (busiest)। Most busiest (Double superlative) ভুল। 06. Ans: C Explanation:  Heart (Noun) -> Hearty (Adj) বা Heartening (Adj)। অপশনে Heartening আছে। Hearty ও হয়। সোর্স বলছে C। 07. Ans: C Explanation:  Variance (Noun) -> Variable (Adjective)। 08. Ans: D Explanation:  'Bounden' একটি Adjective (বাধ্য)। বাকিগুলো Verb। 09. Ans: A Explanation:  Obligate (Verb) -> Obligatory (Adjective)। 10.

[PWD 2018] A. had known B. knows C. is knowing D. knew ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS BCS Answers 01. Ans: C Explanation:  When someone is injured by an external force, the passive form is used. Here, "Injured" (meaning 'being injured' or 'having been injured' in a passive sense functioning as a participle) fits best. The structure is Participle + Subject + Verb. "Injured, he lay..." means "Being injured, he lay...". Note: Option A "Be injured" is incorrect grammar here. The provided solution suggests 'Injured' is correct (Option D), but mentions 'Being injured' would be clearer. Wait, the options in the text are A. Be injured, B. Injuring, C. Having injured, D. Injured. The text answer key says Ans. C  but the explanation discusses 'Being injured' and 'Injured'. Let's re-read carefully. "Solution: ... Having injured হবে না ... Being injured বসবে ... অপশন a) তে আছে Be injured ... তবে আধুনিক English grammar ... Injured দ্বারা ... অপশন d) কেও সঠিক উত্তর হিসেবে নিতে পারে।" However, the key explicitly says Ans. C . Wait, if 'Having injured' is active voice (he injured someone else), it doesn't fit 'he lay groaning'. He was the one hurt. So passive is needed. 'Being injured' is best. Since 'Being injured' isn't there, 'Injured' (Past Participle acting as passive adjective) is the standard correct form. The provided text answer key says C , but the explanation contradicts it saying "Having injured হবে না" (Having injured won't do). It seems the text might have an error in the Answer Key letter. Based on standard grammar,  D. Injured  is the correct choice.  Correction: The text provided says Ans. C but explains why C is wrong. I will follow the logic: D is correct.  (Wait, checking source again: Source 401 says "Ans. Note" and then discusses. It doesn't explicitly select C or D as the final final, but leans towards D or a typo in A. Let's stick to the most grammatical answer which is D ). 02. Ans: BExplanation:  The past tense of 'lie' (to recline) is 'lay'. 'Lied' is past tense of 'lie' (to tell untruths). Since it is 'yesterday', simple past 'lay' is correct. 03. Ans: BExplanation:  'Go back on' means to fail to keep a promise. 04. Ans: CExplanation:  'Put up with' is a phrasal verb meaning to tolerate. 05. Ans: CExplanation:  The verb form of 'ability' is 'enable'. 06. Ans: BExplanation:  'Marrying' follows the verb 'contemplated' and functions as a noun (object of the verb), so it is a Gerund. 07. Ans: BExplanation:  The correct phrase is "burst into tears". 08. Ans: DExplanation:  'Making' follows 'avoided'. 'Avoid' takes a gerund. 09. Ans: CExplanation:  'Flying' modifies 'bird' (noun), functioning as an adjective. So it is a Participle. 10. Ans: AExplanation:  'Arrived' is an intransitive verb because it does not take a direct object. 11. Ans: BExplanation:  'Walking' is object of the preposition 'of', so it is a Gerund. 12. Ans: AExplanation:  'Go' is a bare infinitive after 'let'. 13. Ans: DExplanation:  'Lost' modifies 'opportunity', acting as an adjective. It is a Past Participle. 14. Ans: BExplanation:  'Broke in' means to interrupt. 15. Ans: DExplanation:  'Had better' is followed by the base form of the verb. So, 'had better get'. 16. Ans: DExplanation:  'Reading' is the subject of the sentence, acting as a noun, so it is a Gerund. 17. Ans: DExplanation:  'Singing' modifies 'bird', so it is a Participle. 18. Ans: DExplanation:  'Retired' modifies 'officer', so it is a Past Participle acting as an adjective. 19. Ans: BExplanation:  'Enlightening' describes 'Education', acting as an adjective complement, so it is a Participle. 20. Ans: AExplanation:  Causative 'have': Have + object + V3 (past participle). "Had it mended". 21. Ans: BExplanation:  'Dancing' modifies 'girl', so it is a Participle. 22. Ans: BExplanation:  'Slow and steady' is treated as a singular subject (idea), so it takes a singular verb 'wins'. 23. Ans: AExplanation:  'Number' can be used as a verb (e.g., "I number the pages"). 'Enumerate' is a synonym but 'number' itself is the verb form of the noun 'number'. 24. Ans: CExplanation:  'To do away with' means to get rid of or abolish. 25. Ans: DExplanation:  'Following' here is a noun meaning a body of supporters. 26. Ans: BExplanation:  'Master' can be a verb (to master a skill). 27. Ans: AExplanation:  Third conditional: "could have worked" ... "if I had  been". 28. Ans: BExplanation:  'Disintegrate' means to break up into small parts (collapse). 29. Ans: AExplanation:  'Increases' the risk. 30. Ans: BExplanation:  'Pass away' means to die. 31. Ans: BExplanation:  'Put up with' means to tolerate. 32. Ans: CExplanation:  'Had better' + base form ('get'). 33. Ans: BExplanation:  The poet had to 'tolerate' (put up with) suffering. 34. Ans: BExplanation:  Watch + object + present participle (floating). 35. Ans: DExplanation:  'Rising' (intransitive) means going up. 'Raising' is transitive. Prices are rising. 36. Ans: AExplanation:  'Get along with' means to adjust or have a good relationship. 37.

Paragraph Writing Patriotism Patriotism is a feeling of love and loyalty towards one's country. It inspires people to work for the betterment of their nation, even if it means making sacrifices. A patriotic person feels a sense of duty towards their country and is eager to contribute positively. They obey laws, pay taxes, and care about the well-being of their fellow citizens. Patriotism encourages people to help each other and work together for the common good. For instance, a patriotic individual may volunteer their time to assist those in need or participate in community projects to improve the quality of life for everyone. On the other hand, someone lacking patriotism may prioritize their own interests above those of their country. They may engage in activities that harm the nation or even plot against it. These individuals can pose a threat to the country's freedom and stability. In contrast, patriotic citizens strive to protect and promote the values and ideals of their country. They take pride in their nation's culture, heritage, and achievements, and are willing to defend it against any challenges. Ultimately, patriotism is a powerful force that unites people and strengthens the bond between them and their homeland. It encourages individuals to work together towards a brighter future for their country and its citizens. (দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা ও আনুগত্যই হলো দেশপ্রেম। এটি মানুষকে ত্যাগ স্বীকার করেও জাতির মঙ্গলের জন্য কাজ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। একজন দেশপ্রেমিক দেশের প্রতি কর্তব্যবোধ করেন এবং ইতিবাচক অবদান রাখতে আগ্রহী হন। তাঁরা আইন মানেন, কর দেন এবং সহ-নাগরিকদের মঙ্গলের বিষয়ে যত্নবান হন। দেশপ্রেম মানুষকে পারস্পরিক সাহায্য ও সমষ্টিগত মঙ্গলের জন্য একত্রে কাজ করতে উৎসাহিত করে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, একজন দেশপ্রেমিক অভাবীদের সাহায্যে স্বেচ্ছাশ্রম দেন বা সকলের জীবনযাত্রার মানোন্নয়নে সামাজিক প্রকল্পে অংশ নেন। অন্যদিকে, দেশপ্রেমহীন ব্যক্তি দেশের স্বার্থের ঊর্ধ্বে নিজের স্বার্থকে প্রাধান্য দেয়। তারা জাতির ক্ষতিকর কাজে বা এমনকি দেশবিরোধী ষড়যন্ত্রে লিপ্ত হতে পারে। এই ধরনের ব্যক্তিরা দেশের স্বাধীনতা ও স্থিতিশীলতার জন্য হুমকিস্বরূপ। পক্ষান্তরে, দেশপ্রেমিক নাগরিকরা দেশের মূল্যবোধ ও আদর্শ রক্ষা ও প্রচারে সচেষ্ট হন। তাঁরা জাতির সংস্কৃতি, ঐতিহ্য ও অর্জনে গর্ববোধ করেন এবং যেকোনো প্রতিকূলতার বিরুদ্ধে দেশকে রক্ষা করতে ইচ্ছুক থাকেন। পরিশেষে, দেশপ্রেম এক শক্তিশালী শক্তি যা মানুষকে متحد করে এবং জন্মভূমির সাথে তাদের বন্ধন সুদৃঢ় করে। এটি দেশ ও তার নাগরিকদের উজ্জ্বল ভবিষ্যতের জন্য সকলকে একসঙ্গে কাজ করতে উৎসাহিত করে।) Model Answer-2 Composition / Essay Writing Patriotism   Patriotism means love of one’s own country. It is a noble virtue. It is a sterling quality of a man. It elevates his moral character and inspires him to lay down his life on the altar of his country. He is the most unfortunate man who has no sense of love for his motherland.   Patriotism inflames a spirit of sacrifice in a man. It inspires him to live for his country and die for his country. The progress and prosperity of a nation depend on the deep love of the individual members of the country. National prestige and glory should be a living reality to a true patriot. He should not live for his own interest being blind to the interest of his country and countrymen. He should bear in mind that motherland is superior to heaven.   False patriotism is very dangerous. Love of one’s own country is good but one should not look down upon other countries. Many crimes have been committed in the name of patriotism. It has been so much misused to fulfill the most selfish aims and narrow passions that dr. Johnson said in disgust, “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”   A true patriot always longs for the good of his country and countrymen. It is a noble sentiment that inspires him to place. The good of his motherland above his personal interest. He devotes himself to the service of his country. So his countrymen always hold him in great respect and follow in his footsteps. He has no conflict with internationalism. A true patriot has a broad and liberal outlook.   In this world, there is no man who is not proud of his country. It is the purest of all his passions. There is no man whose heart is not filled with joy when he walks homeward after traveling in a foreign country.    (দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম মানে নিজের দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা। এটি একটি মহৎ গুণ। এটি মানুষের একটি নির্মল চারিত্রিক বৈশিষ্ট্য। এটি তার নৈতিক চরিত্রকে উন্নত করে এবং তাকে দেশের বেদিতে জীবন উৎসর্গ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। সেই ব্যক্তি সবচেয়ে দুর্ভাগা যার মাতৃভূমির প্রতি কোনো ভালোবাসা নেই। দেশপ্রেম মানুষের মনে ত্যাগের স্পৃহা প্রজ্বলিত করে। এটি তাকে দেশের জন্য বাঁচতে ও দেশের জন্য মরতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। একটি জাতির অগ্রগতি ও সমৃদ্ধি নির্ভর করে দেশের প্রতিটি সদস্যের গভীর ভালোবাসার ওপর। একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিকের কাছে জাতীয় মর্যাদা ও গৌরব এক জীবন্ত বাস্তবতা। দেশ ও দেশবাসীর স্বার্থের প্রতি উদাসীন থেকে তার নিজের স্বার্থে বেঁচে থাকা উচিত নয়। তার মনে রাখা উচিত, 'জননী জন্মভূমি স্বর্গাদপি গরীয়সী'। মিথ্যা বা অন্ধ দেশপ্রেম অত্যন্ত বিপজ্জনক। নিজের দেশকে ভালোবাসা ভালো, কিন্তু অন্য দেশকে অবজ্ঞা করা উচিত নয়। দেশপ্রেমের নামে বহু অপরাধ সংঘটিত হয়েছে। সংকীর্ণ আবেগ ও স্বার্থপর উদ্দেশ্য পূরণে এর এত বেশি অপব্যবহার হয়েছে যে, ডঃ জনসন ক্ষোভের সাথে বলেছিলেন, "দেশপ্রেম হলো নীচ বা বদমাশদের শেষ আশ্রয়স্থল।" একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক সর্বদা তার দেশ ও দেশবাসীর মঙ্গল কামনা করেন। এটি একটি মহৎ অনুভূতি যা তাকে ব্যক্তিগত স্বার্থের ঊর্ধ্বে মাতৃভূমির মঙ্গলকে স্থান দিতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। তিনি দেশের সেবায় নিজেকে উৎসর্গ করেন। তাই তার দেশবাসী তাকে সর্বদা অত্যন্ত শ্রদ্ধার চোখে দেখে এবং তার পদাঙ্ক অনুসরণ করে। আন্তর্জাতিকতাবাদের সাথে তার কোনো বিরোধ নেই। একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিকের দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি প্রশস্ত ও উদার। এই পৃথিবীতে এমন কোনো মানুষ নেই যিনি নিজের দেশকে নিয়ে গর্ববোধ করেন না। এটি তার সকল আবেগের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে বিশুদ্ধ। এমন কোনো মানুষ নেই, যিনি বিদেশ ভ্রমণের পর দেশে ফেরার পথে আনন্দে হৃদয় পূর্ণ না হয়ে ওঠে। ) Advanced: Patriotism   Patriotism, the fervent love for one’s own country, is a sublime virtue that exalts a man’s character and instills in him a deep-seated sense of duty towards his motherland. It is an emblem of nobility that elevates an individual above the mundane and inspires him to make the ultimate sacrifice for his nation. To be devoid of patriotic fervor is to be the most unfortunate of men, for it robs one of the opportunity to experience the sheer joy and exultation of serving one’s country.   The essence of patriotism lies in the spirit of self-sacrifice that it engenders in a person. It spurs one to devote oneself to the welfare of one’s country and its citizens, even at the cost of one’s own life. The growth and prosperity of a nation hinge on the deep-seated love of its people, and the true patriot embodies this love in his actions and words. For him, the glory and prestige of his nation are not mere abstractions, but living realities that demand his unwavering loyalty and allegiance.   However, the dangers of false patriotism must not be overlooked. While love for one’s country is a laudable trait, it must never degenerate into chauvinism or intolerance towards other nations. History is replete with examples of heinous crimes committed in the name of patriotism, and it is therefore imperative that we exercise caution in our expressions of national pride. As the renowned literary figure, dr. Samuel johnson, acerbically noted, patriotism has been so frequently exploited for selfish ends that it has become the last refuge of scoundrels.   A true patriot, on the other hand, is one who ardently desires the well-being of his country and its people. His noble sentiments inspire him to place the good of his motherland above his personal interests, and he dedicates himself wholeheartedly to the service of his nation. Such an individual commands the respect and admiration of his fellow citizens, who view him as a role model to emulate. He recognizes that internationalism and patriotism need not be mutually exclusive, and his vision extends far beyond the narrow confines of national boundaries.   In conclusion, the love for one’s country is an innate passion that pervades the hearts of people from all walks of life. Patriotism is the most sublime expression of this passion, for it inspires individuals to transcend their narrow self-interests and dedicate themselves to the welfare of their nation. While the dangers of false patriotism must be acknowledged, the true patriot remains steadfast in his commitment to the welfare of his country and its people, and his actions serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. ( দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম, অর্থাৎ নিজ দেশের প্রতি প্রগাঢ় অনুরাগ, একটি সুমহান সদ্‌গুণ যা মানুষের চরিত্রকে মহিমান্বিত করে এবং মাতৃভূমির প্রতি গভীর কর্তব্যবোধ জাগ্রত করে। এটি এমন এক মহত্ত্বের প্রতীক যা ব্যক্তিকে জাগতিক তুচ্ছতার ঊর্ধ্বে তুলে ধরে এবং জাতির জন্য সর্বোচ্চ ত্যাগ স্বীকারে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। দেশপ্রেমের এই উদ্দীপনা থেকে বঞ্চিত ব্যক্তিই সবচেয়ে দুর্ভাগা, কারণ এটি তাকে দেশের সেবা করার নির্মল আনন্দ ও উচ্ছ্বাস উপভোগের সুযোগ থেকে বঞ্চিত করে। দেশপ্রেমের মূলসত্তা নিহিত রয়েছে সেই আত্মত্যাগের স্পৃহায়, যা এটি মানুষের মনে সঞ্চার করে। এটি মানুষকে নিজের জীবনের বিনিময়েও দেশ ও দেশবাসীর কল্যাণে নিজেকে উৎসর্গ করতে প্রণোদিত করে। একটি জাতির বিকাশ ও সমৃদ্ধি তার জনগণের গভীর ভালোবাসার ওপর নির্ভর করে এবং প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক তার কর্ম ও কথায় এই ভালোবাসাকেই মূর্ত করে তোলেন। তার কাছে জাতির গৌরব ও মর্যাদা কোনো বিমূর্ত ধারণা নয়, বরং এক জীবন্ত বাস্তবতা যা তার অবিচল আনুগত্য দাবি করে। তবে, ভ্রান্ত দেশপ্রেমের বিপদকে উপেক্ষা করা উচিত নয়। যদিও দেশকে ভালোবাসা একটি প্রশংসনীয় বৈশিষ্ট্য, এটি কখনোই যেন অন্য জাতির প্রতি উগ্র স্বজাত্যভিমান বা অসহিষ্ণুতায় পর্যবসিত না হয়। ইতিহাসে দেশপ্রেমের নামে সংঘটিত জঘন্য অপরাধের বহু উদাহরণ রয়েছে, তাই জাতীয় গর্বের প্রকাশে আমাদের সতর্কতা অবলম্বন করা অপরিহার্য। প্রখ্যাত সাহিত্যিক ডঃ স্যামুয়েল জনসন যেমন তীক্ষ্ণভাবে মন্তব্য করেছেন, দেশপ্রেমকে এত বেশি স্বার্থপর উদ্দেশ্যে ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে যে এটি "বদমাশদের শেষ আশ্রয়স্থলে" পরিণত হয়েছে। অন্যদিকে, একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক তিনিই, যিনি আন্তরিকভাবে তার দেশ ও দেশের মানুষের মঙ্গল কামনা করেন। তার মহৎ অনুভূতি তাকে ব্যক্তিগত স্বার্থের ঊর্ধ্বে মাতৃভূমির মঙ্গলকে স্থান দিতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে, এবং তিনি সর্বান্তঃকরণে জাতির সেবায় নিজেকে উৎসর্গ করেন। এমন ব্যক্তি তার সহ-নাগরিকদের শ্রদ্ধা ও প্রশংসা অর্জন করেন, যারা তাকে অনুকরণের যোগ্য আদর্শ হিসেবে গণ্য করেন। তিনি উপলব্ধি করেন যে আন্তর্জাতিকতাবাদ এবং দেশপ্রেম পরস্পরবিরোধী নয়, এবং তার দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি জাতীয় সীমানার সংকীর্ণ গণ্ডি ছাড়িয়ে বহুদূর প্রসারিত। উপসংহারে বলা যায়, দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা একটি সহজাত আবেগ যা সর্বস্তরের মানুষের হৃদয়ে পরিব্যাপ্ত। দেশপ্রেম হলো এই আবেগের সুমহান প্রকাশ, কারণ এটি ব্যক্তিকে তার সংকীর্ণ স্বার্থপরতা অতিক্রম করে জাতির কল্যাণে নিজেকে উৎসর্গ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। যদিও ভ্রান্ত দেশপ্রেমের বিপদকে স্বীকার করতেই হবে, তবুও প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক তার দেশ ও দেশবাসীর মঙ্গলের প্রতি অঙ্গীকারে অবিচল থাকেন এবং তার কার্যকলাপ ভবিষ্যৎ প্রজন্মের জন্য আশার বাতিঘর হিসেবে কাজ করে।) Patriotism Patriotism is one of the virtues of men. It means the love of one's motherland. It is a noble sentiment and a national virtue. The man who lacks it has indeed a dead soul. As Sir Walter Scott says:- BREATHES there the man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, "This is my own, my native land": Patriotism. A true patriot loves his country and countrymen from the core of his heart. He is always ready to sacrifice his life for the welfare of his country. Everybody likes a patriot, but hates a selfish man. A selfish man can not love his native country. He may be rich, but no body respects him. He may have vast wealth, many titles but he is forgotten by all. No body laments for him, and sings his praise. He Is sometimes condemned as an enemy to the country. He seeks his own interest. But every body praises a patriot. 'He places his country above everything. He is respected by his countrymen. He will be remembered from generation to generation. He is ever honoured all over the world. Patriotism inflames a spirit of perfect sacrifice in a man. So, we should practise the value of patriotism. If the national leaders, the teachers, the lawyers, the doctors and the common people of the country are patriotic and understand the value of patriotism, it will be easy to develop a country. Patriotism makes a man great, grateful and unselfish. False patriotism is very dangerous. Many crimes have been committed in the name of patriotism. The word patriotism has been so much misused to fulfil the most selfish aims and narrow passions that Dr. Johnson said in disgust, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". Everyone of us should do something for the good and welfare of the country. We should bear in mind that mother and motherland are superior to heaven. So, we should love and respect our country as well as those of others on the basic principles of co-existence.   ( দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম মানুষের অন্যতম সদ্‌গুণ। এর অর্থ হলো নিজের মাতৃভূমির প্রতি ভালোবাসা। এটি একটি মহৎ অনুভূতি এবং একটি জাতীয় গুণ। যার মধ্যে এর অভাব রয়েছে, তার আত্মা বস্তুত মৃত। যেমন স্যার ওয়াল্টার স্কট বলেছেন:— "এমন মৃত-আত্মা কি কেউ আছে, যে কখনো নিজেকে বলেনি, 'এ আমার দেশ, আমার জন্মভূমি'?" একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক তার দেশ ও দেশবাসীকে অন্তরের অন্তঃস্থল থেকে ভালোবাসেন। তিনি দেশের মঙ্গলের জন্য সর্বদা জীবন উৎসর্গ করতে প্রস্তুত। প্রত্যেকেই দেশপ্রেমিককে পছন্দ করে, কিন্তু স্বার্থপর ব্যক্তিকে ঘৃণা করে। একজন স্বার্থপর মানুষ তার নিজ দেশকে ভালোবাসতে পারে না। সে ধনী হতে পারে, কিন্তু কেউ তাকে সম্মান করে না। তার অঢেল সম্পদ, অনেক উপাধি থাকতে পারে, কিন্তু সকলেই তাকে ভুলে যায়। কেউ তার জন্য শোক করে না বা তার প্রশংসাগীতি গায় না। সে কখনো কখনো দেশের শত্রু হিসেবে নিন্দিত হয়। সে কেবল নিজের স্বার্থ খোঁজে। কিন্তু প্রত্যেকেই একজন দেশপ্রেমিকের প্রশংসা করে। তিনি দেশকে সবকিছুর ঊর্ধ্বে স্থান দেন। তিনি দেশবাসীর কাছে সম্মানিত। প্রজন্ম থেকে প্রজন্মান্তরে তিনি স্মরণীয় হয়ে থাকেন। তিনি বিশ্বজুড়ে সর্বদা সম্মানিত। দেশপ্রেম মানুষের মনে সর্বোচ্চ ত্যাগের স্পৃহা প্রজ্বলিত করে। তাই আমাদের দেশপ্রেমের মূল্যবোধ অনুশীলন করা উচিত। যদি দেশের জাতীয় নেতা, শিক্ষক, আইনজীবী, চিকিৎসক এবং সাধারণ মানুষ দেশপ্রেমিক হন এবং দেশপ্রেমের মূল্য বোঝেন, তবে দেশের উন্নয়ন সহজসাধ্য হয়। দেশপ্রেম মানুষকে মহান, কৃতজ্ঞ ও নিঃস্বার্থ করে তোলে। ভ্রান্ত দেশপ্রেম অত্যন্ত বিপজ্জনক। দেশপ্রেমের নামে বহু অপরাধ সংঘটিত হয়েছে। 'দেশপ্রেম' শব্দটি সংকীর্ণ আবেগ ও চরম স্বার্থপর উদ্দেশ্য পূরণে এত বেশি অপব্যবহৃত হয়েছে যে, ডঃ জনসন ক্ষোভের সাথে বলেছিলেন, "দেশপ্রেম হলো নীচ বা বদমাশদের শেষ আশ্রয়স্থল।" আমাদের প্রত্যেকেরই দেশের মঙ্গল ও কল্যাণের জন্য কিছু করা উচিত। আমাদের মনে রাখা উচিত যে, 'জননী ও জন্মভূমি স্বর্গের চেয়েও শ্রেষ্ঠ'। তাই, আমাদের যেমন নিজের দেশকে ভালোবাসা ও সম্মান করা উচিত, তেমনই সহাবস্থানের মৌলিক নীতির ভিত্তিতে অন্য দেশকেও (ভালোবাসা ও সম্মান) করা উচিত।) PATRIOTISM Patriotism is a noble virtue. Patriotism is love of and devotion to one's country. The word is derived from the Latin Word for 'father' and it literally means love of the fatherland, or the land of one's fathers. A true patriot is an unselfish lover of his country. His sincere desire is to serve its best interests in all ways possible to him. Love for one's own country purifies mind, removes the narrowness of heart and helps one to be selflessly inspired. Man becomes immortal by loving his country, and his patriotism prepares him to-face any odd challenge as fleeting and trivial. In 1971 the people of our motherland got spirited with patriotism and participated in the Liberation War without caring for their own lives. Our patriotic heroes fought with robust patriotism and thwarted the organised assault of the stronger Pakistani forces. Titumir and Tipu Sultan were defeated by the British but their love for motherland is unparalleled. After the defeat, Titumir's dead body was saluted by the English General. The valiant tale of patriotic Khudiram of the then Indian sub-continent was an example for the contemporary juvenile heroes and till today Khudiram's hanging by the British is reviewed with applause through singing. Value of an individual's life is duly assessed with the magnitude of his. patriotism. The creed of politics is patriotism, but the selfish and ambitious role of today's politicians is disappointing. Patriotism begets humanity. A sign of patriotism is implied in the sword of Isa Khan. Rabindranath and Nazrul Islam kept patriotism high in their writings and songs. Actually everybody should perform his assigned duty and endeavour to contribute to the state welfare. Homeland is a great asset to men. At the time of our country's distress or danger we should be ready to stand by her, to work for her, to lay down our lives for her, if -need be. We should love our country because she is bred into our bones everyday of our life. The English poet Sir Walter Scott sang "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, "This is my own, my native land?" দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম একটি মহৎ গুণ। দেশপ্রেম হলো নিজ দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা ও অনুরাগ। শব্দটি ল্যাটিন 'পিতা' (father) শব্দ থেকে উদ্ভূত এবং এর আক্ষরিক অর্থ 'পিতৃভূমি' বা পূর্বপুরুষের ভূমির প্রতি ভালোবাসা। একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমিক তার দেশের নিঃস্বার্থ প্রেমিক। তার আন্তরিক আকাঙ্ক্ষা হলো সর্বতোভাবে দেশের সর্বোচ্চ স্বার্থে সেবা করা। দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা মনকে পরিশুদ্ধ করে, হৃদয়ের সংকীর্ণতা দূর করে এবং নিঃস্বার্থ হতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। দেশকে ভালোবেসে মানুষ অমরত্ব লাভ করে এবং তার দেশপ্রেম যেকোনো প্রতিকূলতাকে ক্ষণস্থায়ী ও তুচ্ছ জ্ঞানে মোকাবিলা করতে প্রস্তুত করে। ১৯৭১ সালে আমাদের মাতৃভূমির জনগণ দেশপ্রেমে উজ্জীবিত হয়ে, নিজেদের জীবনের মায়া ত্যাগ করে মুক্তিযুদ্ধে অংশগ্রহণ করেছিল। আমাদের দেশপ্রেমিক বীরেরা প্রগাঢ় দেশপ্রেমের সাথে যুদ্ধ করে শক্তিশালী পাকিস্তানি বাহিনীর সংগঠিত আক্রমণ প্রতিহত করেছিলেন। তিতুমীর ও টিপু সুলতান ব্রিটিশদের কাছে পরাজিত হলেও মাতৃভূমির প্রতি তাদের ভালোবাসা অতুলনীয়। পরাজয়ের পর ইংরেজ সেনাপতি তিতুমীরের মৃতদেহকে অভিবাদন জানান। তৎকালীন ভারতীয় উপমহাদেশের দেশপ্রেমিক ক্ষুদিরামের বীরত্বগাঁথা সমসাময়িক তরুণ বিপ্লবীদের জন্য এক দৃষ্টান্ত ছিল এবং আজও ব্রিটিশদের দেওয়া ক্ষুদিরামের ফাঁসি গানের মাধ্যমে সশ্রদ্ধ প্রশংসায় স্মরণ করা হয়। একজন ব্যক্তির জীবনের মূল্য তার দেশপ্রেমের গভীরতা দিয়েই যথার্থরূপে নিরূপিত হয়। রাজনীতির মূলমন্ত্রই হলো দেশপ্রেম, কিন্তু বর্তমান রাজনীতিবিদদের স্বার্থপর ও উচ্চাভিলাষী ভূমিকা হতাশাজনক। দেশপ্রেম মানবতার জন্ম দেয়। ঈসা খাঁর তরবারিতেও দেশপ্রেমের ইঙ্গিত নিহিত। রবীন্দ্রনাথ ও নজরুল ইসলাম তাদের লেখনী ও গানে দেশপ্রেমকে ঊর্ধ্বে তুলে ধরেছেন। প্রকৃতপক্ষে, প্রত্যেকেরই নিজ নিজ দায়িত্ব পালন করা এবং রাষ্ট্রীয় কল্যাণে অবদান রাখার চেষ্টা করা উচিত। জন্মভূমি মানুষের কাছে এক অমূল্য সম্পদ। দেশের দুর্দিন বা বিপদের সময় আমাদের তার পাশে দাঁড়াতে, তার জন্য কাজ করতে এবং প্রয়োজনে জীবন উৎসর্গ করতে প্রস্তুত থাকতে হবে। আমরা দেশকে ভালোবাসি কারণ সে আমাদের জীবনের প্রতি মুহূর্তে, আমাদের অস্থিমজ্জায় মিশে আছে। ইংরেজ কবি স্যার ওয়াল্টার স্কট গেয়েছেন— "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, "This is my own, my native land?" (ভাবার্থ: "এমন মৃত-আত্মা কি কেউ আছে, যে কখনো নিজেকে বলেনি, 'এ আমার দেশ, আমার জন্মভূমি'?") Patriotism Patriotism means having love and respect for one’s country. It is a feeling of pride and devotion that inspires people to work for the welfare and progress of their nation. A patriotic person always thinks about the good of their country and is ready to sacrifice personal interests for its benefit. Patriotism unites people and helps build a strong and prosperous nation. True patriotism is not just about showing respect for national symbols like the flag or singing the national anthem. It also means following the laws, helping fellow citizens, and protecting the country’s resources and heritage. A patriotic person works hard to make their country better in every way—whether it is by educating others, keeping the environment clean, or contributing to the economy. Patriotism becomes especially important during difficult times, such as war or natural disasters. During such moments, patriotic citizens come forward to protect their country and support their fellow people. History is full of examples of brave individuals who have fought and sacrificed their lives for their country’s freedom and safety. However, patriotism does not mean hating other nations or thinking they are less important. True patriotism promotes peace, understanding, and cooperation among all countries. A patriotic person respects other nations while being proud of their own. In conclusion, patriotism is a noble quality that motivates people to work for their country’s progress and unity. It is a feeling that inspires us to be responsible, loyal, and hardworking citizens. A nation can grow strong and prosperous only when its people are united by the spirit of patriotism.               (দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম মানে নিজের দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা ও সম্মান থাকা। এটি এমন এক গর্ব ও আনুগত্যের অনুভূতি যা মানুষকে জাতির কল্যাণ ও অগ্রগতির জন্য কাজ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। একজন দেশপ্রেমিক ব্যক্তি সর্বদা দেশের মঙ্গলের কথা চিন্তা করেন এবং এর কল্যাণের জন্য ব্যক্তিগত স্বার্থ ত্যাগ করতে প্রস্তুত থাকেন। দেশপ্রেম মানুষকে متحد করে এবং একটি শক্তিশালী ও সমৃদ্ধ জাতি গঠনে সহায়তা করে। প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেম কেবল পতাকা বা জাতীয় সংগীতের মতো জাতীয় প্রতীকগুলোর প্রতি সম্মান দেখানো নয়। এর অর্থ আইন মেনে চলা, সহ-নাগরিকদের সাহায্য করা এবং দেশের সম্পদ ও ঐতিহ্য রক্ষা করা। একজন দেশপ্রেমিক ব্যক্তি দেশকে সবদিক দিয়ে উন্নত করার জন্য কঠোর পরিশ্রম করেন—তা অন্যকে শিক্ষিত করেই হোক, পরিবেশ পরিচ্ছন্ন রেখে হোক, বা অর্থনীতিতে অবদান রেখেই হোক। যুদ্ধ বা প্রাকৃতিক দুর্যোগের মতো কঠিন সময়ে দেশপ্রেম বিশেষভাবে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হয়ে ওঠে। এমন মুহূর্তে দেশপ্রেমিক নাগরিকরা দেশকে রক্ষা করতে এবং দেশবাসীকে সমর্থন করতে এগিয়ে আসেন। ইতিহাস এমন সাহসী ব্যক্তিদের দৃষ্টান্তে পূর্ণ, যারা দেশের স্বাধীনতা ও সুরক্ষার জন্য যুদ্ধ করেছেন এবং জীবন উৎসর্গ করেছেন। তবে, দেশপ্রেম মানে অন্য জাতিকে ঘৃণা করা বা তাদের কম গুরুত্বপূর্ণ মনে করা নয়। প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেম সকল দেশের মধ্যে শান্তি, বোঝাপড়া ও সহযোগিতাকে উৎসাহিত করে। একজন দেশপ্রেমিক ব্যক্তি নিজের দেশকে নিয়ে গর্ববোধ করার পাশাপাশি অন্য জাতিকেও সম্মান করেন। পরিশেষে, দেশপ্রেম একটি মহৎ গুণ যা মানুষকে দেশের অগ্রগতি ও ঐক্যের জন্য কাজ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। এটি এমন এক অনুভূতি যা আমাদের দায়িত্বশীল, অনুগত এবং পরিশ্রমী নাগরিক হতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। একটি জাতি তখনই শক্তিশালী ও সমৃদ্ধ হতে পারে, যখন তার জনগণ দেশপ্রেমের চেতনায় থাকে।) Ad Ad   দেশপ্রেম দেশপ্রেম মানে নিজের দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা। এটি একটি মহৎ গুণ। এটি একজন মানুষের একটি উৎকৃষ্ট গুণ। এটি তার নৈতিক চরিত্রকে উন্নত করে এবং তাকে তার দেশের বেদিতে জীবন উৎসর্গ করতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। যে ব্যক্তি তার মাতৃভূমির প্রতি ভালোবাসার অনুভূতি রাখে না, সে সবচেয়ে দুর্ভাগ্যবান ব্যক্তি। দেশপ্রেম একজন মানুষের মধ্যে ত্যাগের চেতনা জাগিয়ে তোলে। এটি তাকে তার দেশের জন্য বাঁচতে এবং তার দেশের জন্য মরতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। একটি জাতির অগ্রগতি ও সমৃদ্ধি দেশের প্রতিটি সদস্যের গভীর ভালোবাসার উপর নির্ভর করে। জাতীয় মর্যাদা ও গৌরব একজন প্রকৃত দেশপ্রেমের কাছে একটি জীবন্ত বাস্তবতা হওয়া উচিত। তার নিজের দেশ এবং দেশবাসীর স্বার্থের প্রতি অন্ধ হয়ে নিজের স্বার্থের জন্য বেঁচে থাকা উচিত নয়। তার মনে রাখা উচিত যে মাতৃভূমি স্বর্গের চেয়েও শ্রেষ্ঠ। মিথ্যা দেশপ্রেম খুবই বিপজ্জনক। নিজের দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসা ভালো, কিন্তু অন্য দেশকে অবজ্ঞা করা উচিত নয়। দেশপ্রেমের নামে অনেক অপরাধ সংঘটিত হয়েছে। সবচেয়ে স্বার্থপর লক্ষ্য এবং সংকীর্ণ আবেগ পূরণের জন্য এটি এতটাই অপব্যবহার করা হয়েছে যে ড. জনসন ঘৃণার সুরে বলেছিলেন, “দেশপ্রেম হলো একজন বদমাশের শেষ আশ্রয়।” একজন সত্যিকারের দেশপ্রেমিক সর্বদা তার দেশ এবং দেশবাসীর মঙ্গলের জন্য আকাঙ্ক্ষা করে। এটি একটি মহৎ অনুভূতি যা তাকে তার ব্যক্তিগত স্বার্থের ঊর্ধ্বে তার মাতৃভূমির মঙ্গলকে স্থান দিতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে। তিনি তার দেশের সেবায় নিজেকে নিবেদিত করেন। তাই তার দেশবাসী সর্বদা তাকে অত্যন্ত শ্রদ্ধা করে এবং তার পদাঙ্ক অনুসরণ করে। আন্তর্জাতিকতার সাথে তার কোনও বিরোধ নেই। একজন সত্যিকারের দেশপ্রেমের একটি বিস্তৃত এবং উদার দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি থাকে। এই পৃথিবীতে, এমন কোনও মানুষ নেই যে তার দেশ নিয়ে গর্বিত নয়। এটি তার সমস্ত আবেগের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে বিশুদ্ধ। এমন কোনও মানুষ নেই যার হৃদয় বিদেশে ভ্রমণের পরে যখন সে বাড়ির দিকে হেঁটে যায় তখন আনন্দে পূর্ণ হয় না।

The Lake Isle of Innisfree W.B. Yeats I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee And live alone in the bee loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.   Theme: “ The Lake Isle of Innisfree” revolves around the speaker’s longing for peace, solitude, and a return to nature. The poem expresses a deep desire to escape the noise and stress of urban life and find tranquility in the natural beauty of Innisfree, where the speaker imagines living a simple and peaceful life. Ultimately, it highlights the restorative power of nature, as the speaker’s connection to the serene landscape of Innisfree remains vivid in his heart, even when he is far away.   Summary:  W.B. Yeats expresses a deep longing to escape the noise and bustle of city life and retreat to the peaceful, natural setting of Innisfree. The speaker envisions building a small cabin, growing beans, and keeping bees while surrounded by the serene sounds of nature. He imagines finding peace in the simple, rhythmic beauty of the landscape, where the sounds of the lake, birds, and crickets create a calming atmosphere. Although he remains in the city, the memory and dream of Innisfree stay with him, echoing in his “deep heart’s core.” 2nd Version Theme : The theme of the poem is the poet’s intention to go beyond the sorrows and chaos of daily life. He imagines a world of absolute peace. Its name is Innisfree. It is an island with all allurements of life. Sweet birds sing and the bees hum. The murmuring of the stream will keep the poet awake. On the other hand city life is full of grey troubles. Hence, he intends to make a flight to the lake Isle of lnnisfree. It will provide him with absolute happiness. Detailed Paraphrase (বিস্তারিত ভাবানুবাদ) Stanza 1 (প্রথম স্তবক) Original:  "I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree," Detailed Paraphrase:  I feel a strong, sudden determination to get up right this moment and begin my journey to the place called Innisfree. (আমি এখনই উঠে দাঁড়াব এবং এক্ষুনি ইনস্ফ্রির উদ্দেশ্যে যাত্রা শুরু করার এক তীব্র, আকস্মিক সংকল্প অনুভব করছি।) Original:  "And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;" Detailed Paraphrase:  When I arrive, I will personally construct a simple, humble cottage using only natural, rustic materials: wet earth (clay) to form the walls and a framework of woven sticks or branches (wattles). (আমি যখন সেখানে পৌঁছাব, আমি ব্যক্তিগতভাবে একটি সাধারণ, সাদাসিধে কুঁড়েঘর তৈরি করব, শুধুমাত্র প্রাকৃতিক, গ্রাম্য উপকরণ ব্যবহার করে: দেয়াল তৈরির জন্য ভেজা মাটি (কাদামাটি) এবং বোনা লাঠি বা শাখার একটি কাঠামো (কঞ্চি/বেত)।) Original:  "Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee" Detailed Paraphrase:  I will live a self-sufficient life by planting a small, manageable garden (specifically, nine rows of beans) and by keeping bees in a hive to provide my own fresh honey. (আমি একটি স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ জীবনযাপন করব একটি ছোট, পরিচালনাযোগ্য বাগান (বিশেষত, নয়টি শিমের সারি) রোপণ করে এবং নিজের তাজা মধুর জন্য একটি মৌচাকে মৌমাছি পালন করে।) Original:  "And live alone in the bee loud glade." Detailed Paraphrase:  I will live in complete solitude, away from other people, in a natural clearing in the woods (a glade) that is filled with the constant, peaceful, buzzing sound of bees. (আমি সম্পূর্ণ একাকীত্বে বাস করব, অন্য লোকেদের থেকে দূরে, বনের একটি প্রাকৃতিক খোলা জায়গায় (গ্লেড) যা মৌমাছির অবিরত, শান্তিপূর্ণ, গুঞ্জন শব্দে ভরা থাকবে।) Stanza 2 (দ্বিতীয় স্তবক) Original:  "And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow" Detailed Paraphrase:  I am certain that in this place I will find the mental tranquility I crave, because peace isn't a sudden event there; it settles over you gently and gradually. (আমি নিশ্চিত যে এই জায়গায় আমি আমার কাঙ্ক্ষিত মানসিক প্রশান্তি খুঁজে পাব, কারণ সেখানে শান্তি হঠাৎ ঘটে যাওয়া কোনো ঘটনা নয়; এটি ধীরে ধীরে এবং মৃদুভাবে আপনার উপর নেমে আসে।) Original:  "Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;" Detailed Paraphrase:  This feeling of peace begins in the early morning as the mist (described as "veils") lifts, and it lasts throughout the entire day until the evening, which is marked by the sound of crickets chirping. (এই শান্তির অনুভূতি ভোরে শুরু হয় যখন কুয়াশা ("আবরণ" হিসাবে বর্ণিত) কেটে যায়, এবং এটি সন্ধ্যা পর্যন্ত সারাদিন স্থায়ী হয়, যা ঝিঁঝিঁ পোকার কিচিরমিচির শব্দ দ্বারা চিহ্নিত।) Original:  "There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow," Detailed Paraphrase:  The beauty of Innisfree is constant, 24 hours a day: at midnight, the sky isn't dark but shimmers softly (with starlight or moonlight); at midday, the light has a special, warm purplish tint (perhaps from the sun on the heather flowers). (ইনস্ফ্রির সৌন্দর্য দিনে ২৪ ঘন্টা অপরিবর্তিত থাকে: মধ্যরাতে, আকাশ অন্ধকার থাকে না বরং মৃদুভাবে জ্বলজ্বল করে (তারার আলো বা চাঁদের আলোয়); দুপুরে, আলোর একটি বিশেষ, উষ্ণ বেগুনি আভা থাকে (সম্ভবত হিদার ফুলের উপর সূর্যের আলো পড়ে)।) Original:  "And evening full of the linnet’s wings." Detailed Paraphrase:  The evening is not quiet or empty; it is filled with the lively sight and sound of small "linnet" birds as they fly all around, completing the cycle of natural harmony. (সন্ধ্যাবেলা শান্ত বা খালি থাকে না; এটি ছোট "লিননেট" পাখির প্রাণবন্ত দৃশ্য এবং শব্দে পূর্ণ থাকে যখন তারা চারদিকে উড়ে বেড়ায়, প্রাকৃতিক সামঞ্জস্যের চক্রটি সম্পূর্ণ করে।) Stanza 3 (তৃতীয় স্তবক) Original:  "I will arise and go now, for always night and day" Detailed Paraphrase:  I must get up and leave immediately (this repeats the urgency from the first line), because I am constantly, inescapably haunted by a memory, whether it is daytime or the middle of the night. (আমাকে অবশ্যই এখনই উঠতে হবে এবং চলে যেতে হবে (এটি প্রথম লাইনের তাগিদকে পুনরাবৃত্তি করে), কারণ আমি ক্রমাগত, অনিবার্যভাবে একটি স্মৃতি দ্বারা আচ্ছন্ন থাকি, তা দিন হোক বা মধ্যরাত।) Original:  "I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;" Detailed Paraphrase:  The memory that haunts me is a sound: the very soft, gentle, and rhythmic sound of the lake's water brushing up against the edge of the island's shore. (যে স্মৃতি আমাকে তাড়া করে তা হলো একটি শব্দ: হ্রদের জলের খুব নরম, মৃদু এবং ছন্দময় শব্দ, যা দ্বীপের তীরের প্রান্তে আছড়ে পড়ছে।) Original:  "While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey," Detailed Paraphrase:  I hear this sound even when I am physically far away, standing in the middle of the city, on the hard, busy roads or the dull, lifeless, grey-colored sidewalks. (আমি এই শব্দটি শুনতে পাই এমনকি যখন আমি শারীরিকভাবে অনেক দূরে থাকি, শহরের মাঝখানে, কঠিন, ব্যস্ত রাস্তায় বা নিস্তেজ, প্রাণহীন, ধূসর রঙের ফুটপাতে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকি।) Original:  "I hear it in the deep heart’s core." Detailed Paraphrase:  This sound isn't just an echo in my ears or a simple memory; it is a profound, deep-seated longing that I feel in the very center of my being, in my soul. (এই শব্দটি কেবল আমার কানের প্রতিধ্বনি বা একটি সাধারণ স্মৃতি নয়; এটি একটি গভীর, অন্তর্নিহিত আকাঙ্ক্ষা যা আমি আমার সত্তার একেবারে কেন্দ্রে, আমার আত্মার মধ্যে অনুভব করি।) Questions and Answers 1. Why does the poet want to go to Innisfree? (কবি ইনস্ফ্রিতে যেতে চান কেন?) Answer:  The poet wants to go to Innisfree to find peace and escape the noisy, ugly, and artificial life of the city . He is tired of the "roadway" and "pavements grey" and longs for a simple, natural, and solitary life where he can be self-sufficient and surrounded by the gentle sounds and sights of nature. (কবি ইনস্ফ্রিতে যেতে চান শান্তি খুঁজে পেতে এবং শহরের কোলাহলপূর্ণ, কদর্য এবং কৃত্রিম জীবন থেকে পালাতে। তিনি "রাস্তা" এবং "ধূসর ফুটপাত" দেখে ক্লান্ত এবং একটি সাধারণ, প্রাকৃতিক এবং একাকী জীবনের জন্য আকুল, যেখানে তিনি স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ হতে পারেন এবং প্রকৃতির মৃদু শব্দ ও দৃশ্যাবলী দ্বারা পরিবেষ্টিত থাকতে পারেন।) 2. What kind of life does the poet imagine living in Innisfree? (কবি ইনস্ফ্রিতে কী ধরনের জীবনযাপনের কল্পনা করেন?) Answer:  He imagines a very simple, self-sufficient, and solitary life . He will build his own humble cabin ("of clay and wattles"), grow his own food ("nine bean rows"), and get honey from his own bees ("a hive for the honey bee"). Most importantly, he will "live alone," finding peace in solitude. (তিনি একটি খুব সাধারণ, স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ এবং একাকী জীবনের কল্পনা করেন। তিনি তার নিজের নম্র কেবিন তৈরি করবেন ("কাদামাটি এবং কঞ্চি দিয়ে"), নিজের খাবার নিজে ফলাবেন ("নয়টি শিমের সারি"), এবং নিজের মৌমাছি থেকে মধু সংগ্রহ করবেন ("মৌমাছির জন্য একটি মৌচাক")। সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণভাবে, তিনি "একাকী বাস করবেন," নির্জনতায় শান্তি খুঁজে পাবেন।) 3. What does the "bee-loud glade" symbolize? ("মৌমাছির গুঞ্জনে মুখরিত প্রান্তর" কিসের প্রতীক?) Answer:  It symbolizes the sound of nature's life and energy . Unlike the harsh, mechanical noises of the city, the "loud" sound of the bees is natural, productive, and peaceful. It represents a place that is vibrant and alive with nature, not empty or silent. (এটি প্রকৃতির জীবন ও শক্তির শব্দের প্রতীক। শহরের কর্কশ, যান্ত্রিক শব্দের বিপরীতে, মৌমাছির "উচ্চ" শব্দটি প্রাকৃতিক, উৎপাদনশীল এবং শান্তিপূর্ণ। এটি এমন একটি জায়গার প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে যা প্রকৃতিতে প্রাণবন্ত ও জীবন্ত, খালি বা নীরব নয়।) 4. How is peace described in the poem? (কবিতায় শান্তিকে কীভাবে বর্ণনা করা হয়েছে?) Answer:  Peace is described as something gentle, slow, and pervasive . It "comes dropping slow," suggesting it's not a sudden feeling but one that gradually settles over you. It is part of the natural cycle, flowing from the "veils of the morning" all the way to the evening "where the cricket sings." (শান্তিকে একটি মৃদু, ধীর এবং সর্বব্যাপী বিষয় হিসাবে বর্ণনা করা হয়েছে। এটি "ধীরে ধীরে নেমে আসে," যা বোঝায় যে এটি একটি আকস্মিক অনুভূতি নয়, বরং এমন একটি যা ধীরে ধীরে আপনার উপর স্থির হয়। এটি প্রাকৃতিক চক্রের অংশ, "সকালের আবরণ" থেকে শুরু করে সন্ধ্যা পর্যন্ত "যেখানে ঝিঁঝিঁ পোকা গান গায়" প্রবাহিত হয়।) 5. What is special about midnight, noon, and evening in Innisfree? (ইনস্ফ্রিতে মধ্যরাত, দুপুর এবং সন্ধ্যার বিশেষত্ব কী?) Answer:  Each time of day has its own unique, subtle beauty. Midnight "is all a glimmer"  (shimmering with soft starlight), noon has a "purple glow"  (a rich, warm light, possibly from heather flowers), and evening is "full of the linnet’s wings"  (filled with the motion and life of birds). This shows that Innisfree is always beautiful, day and night. (দিনের প্রতিটি সময়ের নিজস্ব, সূক্ষ্ম সৌন্দর্য রয়েছে। মধ্যরাত "মৃদু আলোয় উজ্জ্বল" (নরম তারার আলোয় ঝলমলে), দুপুরে "বেগুনি আভা" থাকে (একটি সমৃদ্ধ, উষ্ণ আলো, সম্ভবত হিদার ফুল থেকে), এবং সন্ধ্যা "লিননেট পাখির ডানায় পরিপূর্ণ" (পাখির গতি ও জীবনে পূর্ণ)। এটি দেখায় যে ইনস্ফ্রি দিনরাত সবসময়ই সুন্দর।) 6. What is the main contrast presented in the poem? (কবিতায় উপস্থাপিত প্রধান বৈসাদৃশ্যটি কী?) Answer:  The main contrast is between two different worlds: Innisfree:  A place of natural beauty, peace, solitude, and simplicity. The City:  A place described as "grey," artificial, and noisy (the "roadway" and "pavements"). The poet is physically in the city but mentally and emotionally yearns for Innisfree. (প্রধান বৈসাদৃশ্যটি দুটি ভিন্ন জগতের মধ্যে: ১. ইনস্ফ্রি: প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্য, শান্তি, নির্জনতা এবং সরলতার একটি জায়গা। ২. শহর: একটি স্থান যা "ধূসর," কৃত্রিম এবং কোলাহলপূর্ণ ("রাস্তা" এবং "ফুটপাত") হিসাবে বর্ণিত। কবি শারীরিকভাবে শহরে আছেন কিন্তু মানসিকভাবে এবং আবেগগতভাবে ইনস্ফ্রির জন্য আকুল।) 7. Why does the poet repeat the phrase "I will arise and go now" in the final stanza? (কবি শেষ স্তবকে "আমি এখনই উঠব এবং যাব" কথাটি কেন পুনরাবৃত্তি করেন?) Answer:  The repetition emphasizes the strength and urgency of his desire . It shows this isn't just a fantasy; it's a deep, pressing need . Hearing the lake water "always night and day" makes his current city life unbearable and strengthens his resolve to leave immediately. (এই পুনরাবৃত্তি তার আকাঙ্ক্ষার শক্তি এবং তাগিদকে জোরদার করে। এটি দেখায় যে এটি কেবল একটি কল্পনা নয়; এটি একটি গভীর, জরুরি প্রয়োজন। "দিনরাত" হ্রদের জলের শব্দ শোনা তার বর্তমান শহুরে জীবনকে অসহনীয় করে তোলে এবং অবিলম্বে চলে যাওয়ার সংকল্পকে শক্তিশালী করে।) 8. What is the sound the poet hears, and where does he hear it? (কবি কী শব্দ শোনেন এবং তিনি এটি কোথায় শোনেন?) Answer:  He hears the "low sounds" of lake water "lapping" against the shore . He hears this sound not just in Innisfree, but while he is standing on the "roadway" and "pavements grey"  of the city. It is a memory so powerful that it overpowers his current surroundings. (তিনি তীরের বিরুদ্ধে হ্রদের জলের আছড়ে পড়ার "মৃদু শব্দ" শোনেন। তিনি এই শব্দটি কেবল ইনস্ফ্রিতেই শোনেন না, বরং শহরের "রাস্তা" এবং "ধূসর ফুটপাত"-এ দাঁড়িয়ে থাকার সময়ও শোনেন। এটি এমন একটি শক্তিশালী স্মৃতি যা তার বর্তমান পারিপার্শ্বিকতাকে ছাপিয়ে যায়।) 9. What does the poet mean when he says he hears the sound "in the deep heart’s core"? (কবি যখন বলেন যে তিনি শব্দটি "হৃদয়ের গভীরতম অন্তঃস্থল" থেকে শোনেন, তখন তিনি কী বোঝাতে চান?) Answer:  He means that his connection to Innisfree is not just a mental memory, but a deep, spiritual, and emotional bond . The sound is part of his very being or soul. It represents a longing for home and peace that defines who he is, no matter where he is physically located. (তিনি বোঝাতে চান যে ইনস্ফ্রির সাথে তার সংযোগ কেবল একটি মানসিক স্মৃতি নয়, বরং একটি গভীর, আধ্যাত্মিক এবং भावनात्मक বন্ধন। শব্দটি তার সত্তা বা আত্মার অংশ। এটি বাড়ি এবং শান্তির জন্য এমন একটি আকাঙ্ক্ষার প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে যা তিনি কে তা নির্ধারণ করে, তিনি শারীরিকভাবে যেখানেই থাকুন না কেন।) 10. What are "clay and wattles," and what is significant about them? ("কাদামাটি এবং কঞ্চি/বেত" কী, এবং সেগুলির তাৎপর্য কী?) Answer:   "Clay"  is wet earth or mud, and "wattles"  are woven sticks, branches, or reeds used to make a framework for walls. They are significant because they are simple, natural, and non-industrial materials . By choosing to build with them, the poet rejects modern, manufactured city life and embraces a return to nature and simplicity. ("ক্লে" হলো ভেজা মাটি বা কাদা, এবং "ওয়াটলস" হলো বোনা লাঠি, ডালপালা বা বেত যা দেয়ালের কাঠামো তৈরি করতে ব্যবহৃত হয়। এগুলি তাৎপর্যপূর্ণ কারণ এগুলি সাধারণ, প্রাকৃতিক এবং অ-শিল্পজাত উপকরণ। এগুলি দিয়ে তৈরি করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়ে, কবি আধুনিক, কৃত্রিম শহুরে জীবনকে প্রত্যাখ্যান করেন এবং প্রকৃতি ও সরলতার দিকে ফিরে আসাকে আলিঙ্গন করেন।) Multiple-choice questions based on the text: 1.

Yeats) এর একটি বিখ্যাত কবিতা। এই কবিতায় কবি শহুরে জীবনের কোলাহল ও কৃত্রিমতা থেকে মুক্তি পেয়ে প্রকৃতির কোলে এক শান্ত, সরল ও একাকী জীবনযাপনের জন্য তার গভীর আকাঙ্ক্ষা প্রকাশ করেছেন। প্রথম স্তবক: ইনস্ফ্রিতে যাওয়ার সংকল্প কবিতার শুরুতেই কবি তার দৃঢ় সংকল্পের কথা জানিয়েছেন। তিনি বলেছেন যে তিনি এখনই উঠে দাঁড়াবেন এবং ইনস্ফ্রিতে যাবেন। এটি তার মনের একটি তীব্র ও তাৎক্ষণিক ইচ্ছাকে বোঝায়। বাসস্থান নির্মাণ:  সেখানে পৌঁছে তিনি একটি ছোট কেবিন বা কুঁড়েঘর তৈরি করবেন। এই ঘরটি হবে খুব সাধারণ, যা "কাদামাটি এবং কঞ্চি" (clay and wattles) দিয়ে তৈরি হবে। এটি প্রকৃতির সাথে তার একাত্ম হয়ে থাকার ইচ্ছার প্রতীক। খাদ্যের সংস্থান:  তিনি সেখানে নিজের খাবার নিজেই উৎপাদন করবেন। তিনি "নয়টি শিমের সারি" লাগাবেন এবং মধুর জন্য একটি "মৌচাক" রাখবেন। এই দুটি জিনিস তার স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ ও সাধারণ জীবনযাপনের ইচ্ছাকে তুলে ধরে। একাকী জীবন:  কবি পরিষ্কারভাবে বলেছেন যে তিনি সেখানে "একাকী বাস করবেন"। তার এই একাকীত্ব নির্জনতার নয়, বরং এটি প্রকৃতির সান্নিধ্যে কাটানো এক শান্তিপূর্ণ একাকীত্ব, যা "মৌমাছির গুঞ্জনে মুখরিত" (bee-loud glade) একটি খোলা জায়গায় তিনি উপভোগ করবেন। দ্বিতীয় স্তবক: শান্তির সন্ধান এই স্তবকে কবি বর্ণনা করেছেন যে তিনি ইনস্ফ্রিতে গিয়ে কী খুঁজে পাবেন। তার প্রধান চাওয়া হলো শান্তি । শান্তির আগমন:  কবি বিশ্বাস করেন যে ইনস্ফ্রিতে শান্তি হঠাৎ করে আসে না, বরং তা "ধীরে ধীরে ঝরে পড়ে"। এই শান্তি শুরু হয় "সকালের আবরণ" (veils of the morning) বা ভোরের কুয়াশা থেকে এবং তা সন্ধ্যা পর্যন্ত বিরাজ করে, যখন "ঝিঁঝিঁ পোকা গান গায়" (where the cricket sings)। প্রকৃতির সৌন্দর্য (দিন-রাত্রি): ইনস্ফ্রির সৌন্দর্য শুধু দিনের বেলায় নয়, তা ২৪ ঘণ্টাই বিদ্যমান। কবি বলেছেন, সেখানে "মধ্যরাত মৃদু আলোয় উজ্জ্বল" (midnight’s all a glimmer) থাকে, সম্ভবত চাঁদের বা তারার আলোয়। "দুপুর" হয় "বেগুনি আভায়" (purple glow) ভরা, যা হয়তো কোনো বিশেষ ফুলের বা রৌদ্রের প্রভাবে তৈরি হয়। আর "সন্ধ্যাবেলা" লিননেট পাখির (linnet's wings) ডানার শব্দে বা ওড়াউড়িতে মুখরিত থাকে। তৃতীয় স্তবক: হৃদয়ের গভীরের ডাক কবিতার শেষ স্তবকে কবি আবার ইনস্ফ্রিতে ফিরে যাওয়ার তীব্র আকাঙ্ক্ষা ব্যক্ত করেছেন। এবার তিনি এই আকাঙ্ক্ষার কারণ ব্যাখ্যা করেছেন। অবিরাম আহ্বান:  কবি বলেছেন, "দিনরাত" (always night and day) তিনি একটি শব্দ শুনতে পান। এটি হলো ইনস্ফ্রি হ্রদের "জলের মৃদু শব্দে তীরে আছড়ে পড়া" (lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore)। শহর বনাম প্রকৃতি:  এই শব্দটি তিনি কেবল কল্পনাতেই শোনেন না। যখন তিনি শহরের "রাজপথে" (roadway) বা "ধূসর ফুটপাতে" (pavements grey) দাঁড়িয়ে থাকেন, তখনও সেই ডাক শুনতে পান। "ধূসর ফুটপাত" আধুনিক শহুরে জীবনের একঘেয়েমি, কদর্যতা ও প্রাণহীনতাকে বোঝায়। আত্মার ডাক:  এই শব্দটি তিনি তার কান দিয়ে শোনেন না, বরং এটি তিনি তার "হৃদয়ের গভীরতম অন্তঃস্থল" (deep heart’s core) থেকে অনুভব করেন। এটি তার আত্মার ডাক, প্রকৃতির কাছে ফিরে যাওয়ার এক গভীর ও অদম্য আকাঙ্ক্ষা। উপসংহার (মূলভাব) সামগ্রিকভাবে, এই কবিতাটি আধুনিক শহুরে জীবনের কৃত্রিমতা, কোলাহল এবং যান্ত্রিকতার প্রতি কবির গভীর বিতৃষ্ণার প্রকাশ। এর বিপরীতে, তিনি ইনস্ফ্রির প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যের মধ্যে একটি সরল, শান্ত ও আত্মনির্ভরশীল জীবনের স্বপ্ন দেখেন। ইনস্ফ্রি এখানে কেবল একটি নির্দিষ্ট স্থান নয়, এটি কবির কাছে শান্তি, সরলতা এবং প্রাকৃতিক জীবনের এক আদর্শ প্রতীক হয়ে উঠেছে। Ad Theme "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" কবিতার মূলভাব হলো আধুনিক শহুরে জীবনের কৃত্রিমতা, কোলাহল এবং "ধূসর" প্রাণহীন পরিবেশ থেকে মুক্তি পাওয়ার এক গভীর আকাঙ্ক্ষা । কবি প্রকৃতির কোলে, ইনস্ফ্রিতে, এক শান্ত, সরল ও অকৃত্রিম জীবনের জন্য আকুল। তিনি সেখানে একটি সাধারণ কুঁড়েঘর তৈরি করে, নিজের সামান্য চাষাবাদ করে (নয়টি শিমের সারি) এবং মৌমাছি পালন করে এক স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ, একাকী জীবনযাপনের স্বপ্ন দেখেন, যা মৌমাছির গুঞ্জন, ঝিঁঝিঁ পোকার গান ও লিননেট পাখির কলতানে মুখরিত থাকবে। এই ইচ্ছা কেবল একটি সাধারণ কল্পনা নয়, এটি কবির এক গভীর আধ্যাত্মিক চাহিদা , যা তিনি তার "হৃদয়ের গভীরতম অন্তঃস্থল" (deep heart’s core) থেকে অনুভব করেন। হ্রদের জলের মৃদু শব্দের স্মৃতি তাকে শহরের "রাজপথে" দাঁড়িয়েও অবিরাম ডেকে চলে, যা প্রকৃতির সাথে একাত্ম হয়ে অভ্যন্তরীণ শান্তি খুঁজে পাওয়ার এক আদর্শ অবস্থাকে প্রতীকায়িত করে। Vocabulary from "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" Word (শব্দ) English Meaning (ইংরেজি অর্থ) Bangla Meaning (বাংলা অর্থ) Example Sentence (উদাহরণ বাক্য) Arise To get up; to move upwards. জেগে ওঠা / উঠে দাঁড়ানো। The poet says, "I will arise  and go now."

From September 1, 1939 H. Auden I sit on one of the dives On Fifty-second Street Uncertain and afraid As the clever hopes expire. Of a low dishonest decade: Waves of anger and fear Circulate over the bright And darkened lands of the earth, Obsessing our private lives; The unmentionable odour of death Offends the September night. Theme: The poem reflects the uncertainty, fear, and disillusionment felt at the onset of World War II. The poem captures the moral and political decay of the 1930s, marked by widespread anger, fear, and a sense of despair about the future. It highlights how global conflict and violence permeate individual lives, creating an atmosphere of dread and hopelessness, particularly as the looming presence of death casts a shadow over the world. Summary: The speaker reflects on the outbreak of World War II, expressing a sense of fear and uncertainty. The poem captures the disillusionment with the political and social decay of the preceding decade, marked by dishonesty and the collapse of idealistic hopes. As waves of anger and fear spread across the world, the speaker notes how global turmoil deeply affects individual lives, filling the air with an ominous sense of death and destruction. Ultimately, the poem portrays a world gripped by war and moral crisis, with little hope for immediate resolution. Paraphrasing "I sit on one of the dives / On Fifty-second Street" I am sitting in one of the bars or low-class establishments located on Fifty-second Street, a place where people go for temporary escape or indulgence. "Uncertain and afraid / As the clever hopes expire." I feel uncertain and fearful, as the intelligent aspirations and optimistic dreams of people are fading or disappearing, perhaps due to the approaching war or political tensions. "Of a low dishonest decade:" Referring to the previous decade, which is described as a time of dishonesty and moral decay, possibly due to the rise of totalitarian regimes or the looming threat of war. "Waves of anger and fear / Circulate over the bright / And darkened lands of the earth," There are widespread feelings of anger and fear that are spreading across both the prosperous and troubled parts of the world. These emotions affect every corner of the earth, regardless of its condition. "Obsessing our private lives;" These negative emotions—anger and fear—are invading and dominating our personal lives, controlling how we think and feel in our daily existence. "The unmentionable odour of death / Offends the September night." The smell of death, something so terrible and distressing that it cannot even be spoken about, fills the night of September with an unbearable presence, making the atmosphere thick with fear and dread. Short Answer Questions 1. What is the speaker's location at the beginning of the poem? At the beginning of the poem, the speaker is located in a "dive" on Fifty-second Street. The term "dive" typically refers to a bar or a low-class, somewhat shabby establishment where people might go to escape from their troubles. The mention of "Fifty-second Street" places the scene in a specific urban setting, possibly in New York City, evoking an atmosphere of disillusionment, decay, and anxiety. This setting symbolizes the speaker's sense of being overwhelmed and disconnected from the larger events unfolding in the world. 2. What feelings does the speaker experience in the poem? The speaker experiences a sense of uncertainty and fear throughout the poem. These feelings arise from the global political turmoil, specifically the impending war that is threatening to engulf the world. The speaker is overwhelmed by the sense of helplessness and anxiety, as the "clever hopes" of society, or the aspirations for peace and progress, are fading away. The speaker is unsure of what the future holds, and this fear is reflected in the somber tone and the imagery of death and destruction that fills the poem. 3. What does the speaker mean by "the clever hopes expire"? "The clever hopes expire" refers to the death of intelligent and optimistic dreams or aspirations. The phrase implies that the rational, well-thought-out hopes for peace, progress, and a better future are slowly fading away in the face of the rising threat of war and political conflict. The use of "clever" emphasizes that these were thoughtful and reasoned hopes, but they are nonetheless being extinguished by the forces of destruction and chaos, particularly as the political situation worsens in Europe during the time leading up to World War II. 4. How does the speaker describe the decade before 1939? The speaker describes the decade preceding 1939 as "a low dishonest decade." The word "low" suggests that this period was marked by moral decay, dishonesty, and a lack of integrity in both individual actions and political dealings. The term "dishonest" specifically alludes to the lies, corruption, and deceit that permeated the politics and actions of the time, especially with the rise of totalitarian regimes in Europe and the failure of diplomacy to prevent war. The speaker's description reflects a deep sense of disillusionment with the past decade and its failure to prevent the global crisis of World War II. 5. What emotions are described as circulating over the lands of the earth? The speaker describes "waves of anger and fear" circulating over the earth. These emotions symbolize the widespread unease, aggression, and panic that are sweeping across the globe as nations prepare for war. The imagery of "waves" suggests that these emotions are not only pervasive but also uncontrollable, washing over all parts of the world, both the "bright" (prosperous and peaceful) and the "darkened" (troubled and war-torn) lands. The emotional turmoil of anger and fear is reflected in the global instability and uncertainty that pervades the atmosphere as World War II looms. 6. How do the feelings of anger and fear affect people's lives? The feelings of anger and fear "obsess" people's private lives, meaning that they dominate people's thoughts, behaviors, and actions. The private, personal lives of individuals are deeply affected by the broader political and social unrest, as the fears of impending war, violence, and death take a mental and emotional toll. People are unable to escape the pervasive atmosphere of fear and anger, which infiltrates even the most intimate aspects of their daily lives. The use of the word "obsessing" suggests that these emotions are overwhelming and inescapable. 7. What is meant by "the unmentionable odour of death"? The "unmentionable odour of death" refers to the pervasive and overwhelming presence of death that hangs in the air, so powerful and horrifying that it cannot be directly discussed. The word "unmentionable" suggests that the idea of death is too terrible to be named or faced openly, but it is an undeniable force that pervades the atmosphere. This metaphorical "odour" symbolizes the impending destruction and loss of life associated with war, and its "offense" to the September night implies that the world is becoming morally and spiritually polluted by the threat of death and violence. 8. How does the "odour of death" impact the night in the poem? The "odour of death" impacts the night by making it unsettling and uncomfortable. The speaker implies that the night itself is tainted by the ominous presence of death, turning what would normally be a peaceful and calm time into something suffocating and oppressive. The "September night" is no longer just a quiet, natural event but is instead filled with dread, anxiety, and the anticipation of doom. This heavy atmosphere reflects the widespread fear and uncertainty that is felt by everyone as war approaches. 9. How does the imagery of "waves of anger and fear" contribute to the poem’s tone? The imagery of "waves of anger and fear" contributes to the poem's tone by amplifying the sense of anxiety, chaos, and inevitability. Waves are large, powerful, and uncontrollable, suggesting that these emotions are not only widespread but also overwhelming and destructive. This image conveys a sense of helplessness and powerlessness in the face of global conflict. The tone of the poem becomes darker and more ominous as these emotions dominate the world, symbolizing the loss of control and the imminent dangers that humanity faces. The tone is one of dread and fatalism, with the speaker unable to escape the oncoming storm of war. 10. Why might the poem be titled "From September 1, 1939"? The title "From September 1, 1939" is significant because it marks the day when World War II began with the German invasion of Poland. This historical date is symbolic of the beginning of widespread global conflict, which is reflected in the themes of fear, anger, and death in the poem. By using this title, Auden anchors the poem in a specific moment in history, conveying the urgency and gravity of the situation. The title also suggests that the speaker is reflecting on the global events from the vantage point of that moment in time, capturing the emotional atmosphere of uncertainty and despair as the world stands on the brink of war.

The presence of death is so pervasive that it "offends" the night, transforming what would normally be a peaceful time into a moment of dread. The tone of the poem is somber, reflecting the global anxiety and fear in the lead-up to World War II. Auden’s poem captures the emotional atmosphere of that time, showing how personal lives are haunted by the broader political events, and how the looming war overshadows everything. The poem also suggests the moral and intellectual failure of the era, as the "clever hopes" of previous generations have been extinguished, leaving people to face the grim reality of war.

Bangla Translation (Summary) ডব্লিউ. এইচ. অডেনের লেখা "১ সেপ্টেম্বর, ১৯৩৯" এর সারাংশ: ডব্লিউ. এইচ. অডেন "১ সেপ্টেম্বর, ১৯৩৯" -এ দ্বিতীয় বিশ্বযুদ্ধের সূচনালগ্নে বিশ্বব্যাপী সঙ্কটের প্রতিফলন ঘটান। কবিতাটি শুরু হয় বক্তা পঞ্চাশ-সেকেন্ড স্ট্রিটের একটি ডাইভ বারে বসে থাকা অবস্থায়, অনিশ্চিত এবং ভীত বোধ করেন, কারণ বিশ্ব যুদ্ধের দ্বারপ্রান্তে। এই পরিবেশ নৈতিক ও রাজনৈতিক অবক্ষয়ের এক চিত্র তুলে ধরে। বক্তা গত দশকের প্রতি হতাশা প্রকাশ করেন, এটিকে "নীচ এবং অসৎ" হিসাবে বর্ণনা করেন। মানুষের একসময়ের "চতুর আশা" - শান্তি, অগ্রগতি এবং উন্নত ভবিষ্যতের আশা - ম্লান হয়ে যাচ্ছে, উত্তেজনা বৃদ্ধির সাথে সাথে এবং বিশ্ব যুদ্ধের জন্য প্রস্তুত হওয়ার সাথে সাথে। বিশ্বজুড়ে ক্রোধ এবং ভয়ের ঢেউ বয়ে যাচ্ছে, যা সমৃদ্ধ এবং অস্থির উভয় ভূমিকেই প্রভাবিত করছে এবং মানুষের ব্যক্তিগত জীবনকে প্রভাবিত করছে। "মৃত্যুর অনির্দিষ্ট গন্ধ" ধ্বংস এবং মৃত্যুর অনিবার্য উপস্থিতির প্রতীক, যা বক্তা পরিবেশে ছড়িয়ে আছে বলে মনে করেন, রাতকে নিপীড়ক এবং অস্থির করে তোলে। কবিতাটিতে বিশ্বব্যাপী সংঘাতের মুখে অসহায়ত্বের অনুভূতি ফুটে উঠেছে, কারণ বক্তা আবেগের তীব্রতা এবং আসন্ন বিপর্যয়ের দ্বারা অভিভূত বোধ করেন। মৃত্যুর উপস্থিতি এতটাই বিস্তৃত যে এটি রাতকে "বিক্ষুব্ধ" করে, যা সাধারণত একটি শান্তিপূর্ণ সময়কে আতঙ্কের মুহূর্তে রূপান্তরিত করে। কবিতার সুরটি বিষণ্ণ, দ্বিতীয় বিশ্বযুদ্ধের আগে বিশ্বব্যাপী উদ্বেগ এবং ভয়কে প্রতিফলিত করে। অডেনের কবিতাটি সেই সময়ের আবেগময় পরিবেশকে ধারণ করে, দেখায় যে কীভাবে ব্যক্তিগত জীবন বিস্তৃত রাজনৈতিক ঘটনাবলীর দ্বারা আচ্ছন্ন এবং কীভাবে আসন্ন যুদ্ধ সবকিছুকে ঢেকে ফেলে। কবিতাটি সেই যুগের নৈতিক ও বৌদ্ধিক ব্যর্থতারও ইঙ্গিত দেয়, কারণ পূর্ববর্তী প্রজন্মের "চতুর আশা" নিভে গেছে, মানুষকে যুদ্ধের ভয়াবহ বাস্তবতার মুখোমুখি হতে বাধ্য করেছে। Ad Dive English : A low, shabby establishment, typically a bar.
