Answer 12.
Model answer: Mr Rahman meant that plants grow slowly and cannot be rushed; a gardener must care for them steadily over time, and they will eventually flourish for those who wait patiently. (2 marks: interpretation + explanation)
Answer 13.
Model answer: The dry spell lasted three weeks, and the community garden's water ration was cut during that period. (2 marks: duration + water cut)
Answer 14.
Model answer: They placed empty basins outside during a brief night shower to collect rainwater. It was clever because it used a free natural source instead of costly bottled water, gathering just enough to keep the seedlings alive. (2 marks: method + reason)
Answer 15.
Model answer: The plot "burst with green chillies and spinach", while many neighbouring beds remained bare because their owners had given up. (2 marks)
Answer 16.
Model answer: Mr Rahman wanted to credit Amir, who had persevered through the dry spell and helped save the plants; the medal recognised Amir's effort rather than his own. Accept any reasonable inference supported by the text. (3 marks)
Answer 17.
Model answer: At first Amir saw gardening as a tiresome chore, but after the harvest and the medal he saw it as "a lesson in patience" and valued the effort involved. Evidence: "From that day, Amir no longer saw gardening as a chore but as a lesson in patience." (3 marks: change + evidence)
Answer 18.
Model answer: It suggests the plants grew suddenly, abundantly and healthily once the rains returned — the plot flourished vigorously after weeks of careful care. (3 marks)
Answer 19.
Model answer (accept any well-supported view): Yes — like Amir's garden, my effort at practising the piano daily for months led to success at my recital; rushing would have failed. Award marks for a clear stand plus a relevant personal example. (3 marks)
Answer 20.
Model answer: At the beginning, Amir found helping in the garden tiresome and saw it merely as a duty. When the dry spell struck, he worked alongside his grandfather to save the seedlings instead of giving up. Their patient effort was rewarded with a flourishing plot and a medal. By the end, Amir no longer viewed gardening as a chore but as a valuable lesson in patience. (4 marks: before + action + outcome + change)
