Answer:

(i) Hafeez Contractor told Ms. Bela Raja, Editor of Newsletter and his interviewer that there were many students of his class who always stood first or second but in the present day are doing very ordinary jobs.

(ii) She is complaining and smiling because she knew fully well how utterly oblivious her husband was of the practical problems of living. He would not care of wearing the sweater even if it was (near him) lying on the bedside chair.

(iii) The children were accustomed of playing freely every afternoon in the Giant's garden during his absence. This made them very happy. Unfortunately, they were all driven out when the Giant returned to his castle. So in both cases, the children are referring to the garden where they were later prohibited to enter.

(v) Sir John said that he won't buy any Christmas presents till December 15 because on this day the comet would the earth. If the operation succeeded, the comet would pass by at a near but safe distance some close.
