FAQs on CBSE Class 4 EVS Worksheets for Chapter 7
1. Why was there so much noise and smoke at the level crossing?
There was so much noise and smoke at the level crossing from vehicles at the level crossing because some people do not switch off the engines of their vehicles while they are waiting at the crossing.
2. What was the purpose of writing journal entries by Omana?
Omana and her best friend Radha had planned to go together on a trip to Kerala. Omana was visiting her grandmother, and Radha was going on a holiday with her family. However two days before the trip, Radha met with an accident and because of this, she couldn't accompany Omana for the trip. Then, Radha's mother came up with an idea that Omana could write journal entries and describe her trip. So therefore when she would return, she could read it out to Radha, and in this way, both of them could enjoy the trip.
3. Describe Omana's train journey from Madgaon to Kottayam.
The train stopped at Madgaon, and Omana and her family had hot tea and filled their water bottles. Omana found the scene outside the window beautiful, filled with lush green hills. The train also passed through a level crossing where there were many people, cars, trucks, and auto-rickshaws. Furthermore, the train crossed a huge river body on a long bridge which was very adventurous for Omana. Later they passed tunnels and then had Idli vadas for lunch. Finally, they reached Kottayam at night.
4. Why did Omana find the tunnels so fascinating?
Omana saw that it was bright and sunny outside and then suddenly everything became dark. She felt a little cold inside which scared her. However, the lights on the train came on but it was dark outside. Then somebody on the train said that it was a tunnel. For Omana, the tunnel seemed to go on for a very long time and when they were outside it was sunny, bright, and green again. She has crossed about four smaller tunnels after that. This experience of moving through the tunnels fascinated her.
