ODE ON A GRECIAN URN BY JOHN KEATS ADDITIONAL ENGLISH CLASS-XI IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ----------------------------- 1. How is the poem a paradox bringing out many contradictions? Answer: In the poem Ode on a Grecian Urn , John Keats presents several paradoxes. A paradox is a statement that seems to contradict itself but reveals a deeper truth. One such paradox in the poem is the contrast between the still images on the urn and the lively scenes they represent. The urn shows a difference between the hard truths of real life and the perfect, idealized version of life it displays.

This means that the imagined music on the urn is more pleasing than actual music we can hear. The main paradox of the poem lies in the joyful, perfect life shown on the urn and the fact that these figures are frozen in time — they cannot move or change. The sculptor has captured th...

       The result of the SSLC Exams conducted by the Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) was declared on 5th April 2025. The state saw a remarkable improvement in the pass percentage, rising from 55.80% in 2024 to 87.10% this year. A total of 63,682 students appeared for the Class 10 board exams, and 55,473 of them passed.      While many people are pleased with the sharp rise in the pass percentage, some are concerned. Their worry comes from the fact that students depended heavily on the CM Impact Guide book, which was distributed a few months before the exams. Reports suggest that around 80–85% of the questions came directly from this guide. According to critics, both teachers and students focused mainly on the guide book instead of the regular textbooks.
