\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nThe ant tells the cricket to \u201cdance the winter away \u201d. Do you think the word \u2018dance \u2019 is appropriate here? If so, why?
\nAnswer:
\nYes, the word \u2018dance\u2019 is appropriate here because the cricket had spent the summer time singing, and making merry. So, the grasshopper can spend the winter dancing.<\/p>\n
