Question 3
In the story "Rikki - Tikki - Tavi", Darzee's wife plays a crucial role in helping Rikki during his fight with the cobras. She distracts Nagaina (the female cobra) which gives Rikki an opportunity to deal with the cobra eggs and ultimately win the fight. Darzee (the male bird) is more of a singer and less directly helpful in the fight. Chua is a mongoose - hating cat and Karait is a small snake that Rikki kills, and Chuchundra is a timid musk - rat. So Darzee's wife is the most helpful animal to Rikki in his fight.
Rikki is a mongoose and his main job is to fight snakes. For a mongoose, speed is very important in fighting snakes. If he over - eats, he will become slow and that will be a disadvantage in his fights. Staying thin, small or cute are not the main reasons for him to avoid over - eating as his survival and his role in protecting the family depend on his speed in fighting snakes.
The name Rikki - Tikki - Tavi is given to the mongoose because it is the sound that the mongoose makes. Option a is wrong as it does not mean "mongoose" in Hindu. Option b is incorrect as the name does not imply "snake killer" directly. Option c is also wrong as it does not mean "friend of humans".
