A.3.  Setting- Narrate the opening incidents that happened in the printing room in a short paragraph. 

Ans- In the office of the ‘People’s messenger”, Billing brought the manuscript of Dr. Stockmann. Billing and Hovstad had to decide whether to print Dr. Stockmann’s manuscript or not. It was the article depicting the real condition of Bath. If this article was published, it would make a revolution in the city. The Mayor would not like the article because it might cause the financial ruin of the town. So there was tension in the printing room about the decision of printing and publish the manuscript.

A.4. Describe the climax scene in your own words.

Ans- In the climax scene, Dr. Stockmann understands that his manuscript is not going to print. Hovstad is not ready to print it and no one in the town will be able to help him with its publication. So dr. Stockmann declares that he will go to every corner of the town and read his manuscript. He decides to make his report public in spite of all threats. His wife changes her mind and decides to support her husband. She confirms that the family members will take his side and make the people aware of the bad impacts of the poor condition of Baths.
