    RTC-1
    a. The five sights that the poet has mentioned in the poem are:
    1. constructions like stations, bridges, houses, hedges and ditches
    2. sceneries like meadows, hills and plains
    3. horses and cattle
    4. cart with men and the load
    5. a mill and a river
    b. The poet sees these sights from the carriage of a moving train.
    c. When the train advances it seems as the soldiers are attacking their enemy in a battle
    field.
    d. The meaning of driving rain is rain that falls very fast and it becomes very difficult
    to see through it. The poet compares the things he sees to the driving rain because they are
    passing so fast that it becomes hard for the poet to see them.
    e. The poet says that all the sights that can be seen from the train pass by very quickly.
    The poet compares these sights to the raindrops in a storm that fall, one after the other.
    f. The poet enjoys watching the natural scene from the railway carriage. His railway
    journey becomes a source of great happiness for him.

    RTC- 2
    a. The meaning of ‘in the wink on eye’ is passing so fast that it is not possible to see it.
    In simple words it means very quickly.
    b. ‘Painted stations whistle by’ Here the train is passing by. The station is not moving.
    c. The poet describes three people he sees who are: a child, a tramp and a man sitting on
    a loaded cart.
    d. The poet has used these phrases: • faster than fairies, faster than witches •
    and charging along like troops in a battle •in a wink of an eye…whistle by •each
    a glimpse and gone forever!
    e. A tramp is a wandering person who goes from place to place on foot and does not do
    regular work. He was standing idly and was gazing at the passing railway carriage.
    RTC-3
    a. Answers may differ.
    b. Every sight is just a glimpse for the poet because the train is moving so fast that poet
    could only see a glimpse of things passing by.
    c. The words that describe movement are: charging along, fly, whistle by, clamber,
    scrambles, stringing, run away and lumping.
    d. The literary device of the poem is Simile.
    e. The poet cannot see each sight clearly. The train moves too fast to be able to see
    everything clearly.
