SUMMARY
The Last Lesson" by Alphonse Daudet, is a poignant short story highlighting the importance
of cultural heritage, education, and national pride. This classic narrative is a compelling story
set against the backdrop of war and cultural upheaval. Experience the journey of young Franz
as he grapples with the impending loss of his French education and the profound lessons
learned from his dedicated teacher, Monsieur Hamel.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. How is the mother tongue important to a person? What does M. Hamel, the teacher say
about it? [Delhi, 2020]
Ans. The mother tongue, or the language learned first from one’s parents and family, is crucially
important to a person’s identity, culture, and communication abilities. It serves as a foundation for
learning other languages and helps individuals connect with their roots and heritage.
M. Hamel made the villagers realize the importance of their language. He spoke about the beauty
of it. He expressed his dismay that the whole population of Alsace was responsible for neglecting
their mother tongue. He called upon them to guard it among themselves and never forget it. Their
language was the key to their unity and liberation.
Q. How did M. Hamel make his last lesson a special one? What did he emphasize in it on?
[Delhi, 2019]
Ans. Mr. Hamel had put on his beautiful green coat, frilled shirt and a silk cap, the dress he used
to wear on special occasions. He was dressed differently because it was his last day in the school.
He was very patient and spoke to all pupils, even Franz in a very gentle tone. He emphasized on
guarding the mother tongue and not forget it as it was the key to their prison. He described the
French language as the most beautiful, clearest and most logical.
Q. How were the parents and M. Hamel responsible for the children’s neglect of the French
language?
Ans. Mr. Hamel, during his last lesson, regretted the fact that he had not fully utilized the time to
teach French to his students. There were times when he would give them the day off, to go for his
fishing trips or he would send them to water his plants. He also blamed the parents who instead of
sending their children to school sent them to the fields to work. Now that French would not be
taught anymore in their district, he wished he could have utilized all the time to teach French to
the students.
Q. What was M. Hamel’s regret on the day of the last lesson?
Ans. On the final day of his last lesson, M. Hamel expressed regret that he had to depart from
France after dedicating forty years of service, and that his students had not acquired a satisfactory
command of the language. He blamed himself for their unsatisfactory progress, acknowledging
that he frequently assigned personal tasks such as watering his plants or granted holidays when he
wished to go fishing.
Q. “What a thunderclap these words were to me!” (Franz). What were those words and what
was their effect on Franz? (All India 2017)
Ans. On the day of the final lesson, Franz arrived at school late. As he entered the classroom, he
saw M. Hamel seated on his chair, speaking in a solemn and soothing manner. M. Hamel
announced that it would be their final French lesson as per the orders received from Berlin. Starting
the next day, all schools in Alsace and Lorraine would be taught only in German by a German
teacher who would be replacing him. Franz was taken aback by the news and felt agitated.

I. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
2. Differentiate between real and nominal GDP. Which is better measure and why?
Ans:
Real GDP: When the goods and services are produced by all producing units in the domestic
territory of a country during an accounting year and valued these at base year’s prices or constant
price, it is called real GDP or GDP at constant prices. It changes only by change in physical
output not by change price level. It is called a true indicator of economic development.
Nominal GDP: When the goods and services are produced by all producing units in the domestic
territory of a country during an accounting year and valued these at current year’s prices or current
prices, it is called Nominal GDP or GDP at current prices. It is not considered a true indicator of
economic development.
Conversion of Nominal GDP into Real GDP:
Price index plays the role of deflator deflating current price estimates into constant price estimates. In this
way it may be called GDP Deflator.
6. Distinguish between old-age pension and retirement pension in estimation of national income.
Ans:
Old-age pension is given on account of being old and, therefore, it is a unilateral payment. Being a
transfer payment, it is not included in estimation of national income.
Retirement pension is likely a deferred wage which is paid for rendering services prior to his
retirement. Being a factor payment, it is included in national income.
7. Explain that Domestic territory is bigger than the political frontiers of a country.
Ans: The domestic territory of a nation is understood to be the territory lying within the political frontiers of
a country. But in national income accounting, the term domestic territory is used in a wider sense. Based on
‘freedom’ criterion, the scope of economic territory is defined to cover.
Ships and air crafts owned and operated by normal residents between two or more countries.
operation.
Fishing vessels, oil and natural gas rigs and floating platforms operated by the residents of a
country in the international waters where they have exclusive rights of operation.
Embassies, consulates and military establishments of a country located abroad.
Single-use Producer Goods: Goods used as raw material by the producers. It includes raw material
like coal, wood etc. They are not capital goods as they cannot be repeatedly used in the production
process.
Capital Goods: Goods which are used as fixed assets by the producers, like plant and machinery,
which can be repeatedly used in the production process. So, it can be said that all capital goods are
producer goods, but all producer goods are not capital goods.
9. “Machine purchased is always a final good.” Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.
Ans. No, it is not necessary that machine purchased is a final good. It will depend upon its use.
10. “Machine purchased is always a capital good”. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.
Ans: No, it is not necessary that machine purchased is a capital good. It will depend upon its use.
If a sewing machine is purchased by a tailor, then it is a fixed asset of the tailor and considered to be a
capital good. But the same machine purchased by a consumer household is considered to be a durable
use consumer goods.
If a car purchased by a taxi driver as a taxi or if purchased by a firm for use in its business is a capital
good. But the same car purchased by a consumer household is a durable use consumer goods.
So, finally the end user of a good determine, whether it is a capital good or durable use consumer
goods. If an end user of a durable goods is a producer, it is a capital good. If an end user of a durable
goods is a consumer household, it is a durable use consumer goods.
11. ‘Production for self-consumption is considered an economic activity.’ Do you agree? Give reasons in
support of your answers.
Ans:
Production of goods for self-consumption is considered an economic activity, as it contributes to
current output. Its imputed value will be including in the market.
Example – Growing wheat by a farming family for self- consumption will be considered an economic
activity.
However, production of services for self-consumption is not considered an economic activity.
Because it is not performed to earn income.
Example – Treating his own child by a doctor, teaching his own child by a teacher.
13. Why the free services provided by the owners of the production units are included while estimating
National Income through Income Method?
Ans: Owners work in their own unit but do not charge salary. Owners provide finance but do not charge any interest.
Owners do production in their own buildings but do not charge rent. Although they do not charge, yet the services have
been performed. The imputed value of these must be included in national income.
14. ‘Operating Surplus does not arise in the subsistence sector and in the general government sector’. Defend
or refute the given statement with valid reason.
Ans: Operating Surplus does not arise in the subsistence sector and in the general government sector
because of the following reasons: (i) In the subsistence sector, production is meant only for subsistence of
the producing families. Production is not meant for sale in the market. There is no marketable surplus.
Accordingly, there is no operating surplus. (ii) In the general government sector, production is meant only
