The Prisoner of Zenda – Model Answers

Chapter 1 1- C 2- A 3- B 4- D 5- B 6- D 7- A 8- A 9- C 10- C 11- C Answer the following questions: 1-I think Rose was a great woman. She cared a lot about her brother-in-law, Rudolf Rassendyll. She wanted him to do something useful in life. She believed that a person with a position in society had responsibilities. She must have helped her husband, Robert, to become a successful man. 2-No, he wasn’t. Work is very important whether the person is rich or not. Without work, a person has no value and does not do anything useful. 3-Yes, I would. It is good to advise others who do not work to do something useful in life. When Rose advised Rassendyll to have a job, it also meant that she cared about him as he was her brother-in-law. 4-I agree because when you write a book, people get to know you and you could become a famous person and then it would be easy for you to get into politics. 5- Rose was annoyed because her family were rich but less important than the Rassendylls. Rassendyll made her feel that she was inferior أقل مكانة/أدني درجة to him. 6-I don’t think having a lot of money is a good reason not to have a job. No matter how much money a person has, they need to have a job and do something useful in life. 7-She was right to have a different opinion of the King because she didn’t like Duke Michael. Perhaps she supported the King because Johann told her something about Michael’s crimes. 8-No, I wouldn’t do that. I would stay in England and do useful work because only work makes a person worthy of respect.

Chapter 2

1- B 2- B 3- A 4- C 5- B 6- B 7- D 8- C 9- B 10- C 11- B Answer the following questions: 1-No, he didn’t. Michael was an evil man who only wanted to become King. He planned to poison his brother so that he could take the crown. 2-Yes, it was a risk because if someone realized that he was not the real King, he would be killed or put in prison.


56

3-Yes, I think so because she worked for Michael and would surely tell him about Sapt’s plan. 4-Sapt and Fritz were not murderers like Michael and his men. Moreover, it wouldn’t have helped the King who was hidden in the cellar of the hunting lodge. 5-Yes, I agree that the King wasn’t a careful man. He was not aware that his brother was planning to kill him. He loved food so much that he ate most of the poisonous cakes and he could have died. 6-I like Sapt more because I think he is wiser and smarter than Fritz. He persuaded Rassendyll to replace the King. Without his help, Rassendyll’s mission would have failed. 7-I don’t agree with this opinion. Sleep is as important as food. People should always have enough food as well as enough sleep. 8-I would need to know everything about that person. I need to know about their likes, dislikes, friends, family, interests and weaknesses. I also need to know about their history.

Chapter 3 1- A 2- A 3- D 4- C 5- A 6- B 7- C 8- B 9- D 10- B Answer the following questions: 1-No, he shouldn’t because it wouldn’t have helped the King at that time. The King was kidnapped and Michael’s men could have killed him. 2-No, it wasn’t. It wasn’t fair. Josef did nothing wrong. He was only trying to protect the King when Michael’s men killed him. 3-Perhaps it was a protective measure إجراء وقائي to keep the country and its people safe. Perhaps Michael, who controlled the capital, didn’t want anyone to leave so as not to know about his plans. 4-No, I don’t think so. Fritz was not as smart as Sapt. Fritz didn’t think carefully before taking decisions. Sapt was wiser and more careful. Sapt also had more experience. 5-There could be a fight for the life of the King. It wouldn’t be easy for Rassendyll and Sapt to protect the King. I think Michael and his men would win. 6-Perhaps because people didn’t like him and he had many enemies, so he needed a way to escape if there was danger. 7-Sapt loved the King so much that he didn’t want anything bad to have happened to him. He knew that Michael’s men were murderers and wouldn’t hesitate یتردد to kill him.

Chapter 4

57

Answer the following questions: 1-No, I don’t think so. When Rassendyll told Sapt that the French ambassador asked him a question he couldn’t answer, Sapt said that the real King wouldn’t have been able to answer that question. 2-I think it was a right decision. Michael meant to frighten Rassendyll. After meeting the 3 men, Rassendyll started to worry about his safety and thought that they knew his secret. 3-Rassendyll meant to warn Michael and show him that he was not afraid of him. This proved that he was self-confident and would do all he could to save the King. 4-No, he couldn’t. Rassendyll didn’t want to reveal his identity یكشف عن ھویتھ to Flavia. He also knew that Michael was so popular and most people would support him. It wouldn’t have been good for the real King if he had arrested Michael at that time. 5-Yes, of course. Flavia was so popular with the poor people of Strelsau. If he made use of Flavia’s popularity, he himself would grow in popularity and this would help him to fight Michael. 6-Yes, Rassendyll should have learned more and more about royal rules to avoid making mistakes. However, he tried to cover up his mistakes by saying that he had forgotten the rules and the people he had met. 7-For Rassendyll, it was difficult to act as a pretend King for an unknown period of time. A pretend King’s life is harder than the real King’s life. Rassendyll didn’t know all the royal rules, so he made mistakes. Rassendyll was worried that someone would realize that he was not the real King. He had to be very careful so that nobody could recognize him. 8-He didn’t want Flavia to know that he was not the real King. He wanted more time to complete his mission and save the King. He wasn’t ready to have a fight with Michael at that time.

Chapter 5

1- D 2- A 3- C 4- D 5- B 6- C 7- A 8- D 9- A 10- D Answer the following questions: 1-He thought that it wasn’t fair to trick Flavia. She was kind and clever and he believed she should know what happened to her future husband. He thought that perhaps he was wrong to pretend to be the King. 2-No, he wasn’t. Everyone who has a position in society has responsibilities. As Rassendyll came from a rich family, he didn’t care about responsibilities and only believed that opportunities were responsibilities. But after he became King, he took responsibilities seriously. 3-Yes, I would. Michael was an evil man who would do anything to take the crown. He planned to kill his own brother. That was why Antoinette turned against him and tried to help Rassendyll to save the King.


58

4-It might have been too difficult for him to stay alive. /OR: Nothing might have happened as Rassendyll was so strong and smart and he would have easily found a way to escape from Michael’s men. 5-Perhaps they didn’t trust Antoinette and thought that she might try to help Rassendyll. Perhaps they feared that Rassendyll might not come alone and wanted to be ready for him. 6-No, he wouldn’t. Antoinette told him not to trust them. Rassendyll also knew it was a trap to kill him. He also wasn’t the kind of man who would betray his friends for money. 7-No, I wouldn’t. The mission of rescuing the King had to be accomplished. ُتنفذ The fewer the people who knew about the plan, the better. Moreover,عالوة علي ذلك Flavia was smart enough to understand what happened and forgive Rassendyll. 8-Yes, he was right. If more and more people knew about his plan to save the King, the plan might fail. If the plan failed, Sapt, Fritz and Rassendyll would be put in prison or even killed.

Chapter 6

1- D 2- A 3- C 4- C 5- D 6- C 7- A 8- D 9- D 10- B Answer the following questions: 1-I think he wasn’t right. This made her very worried about his safety and she thought it was very dangerous. She also didn’t understand what was going on in Ruritania. 2-No, I wouldn’t. It wouldn’t be easy to deceive Rupert as he was the worst and the strongest of Michael’s men. Rassendyll wasn’t the kind of man who would deceive others. 3-Rassendyll was good at judging other people. He chose Johann to work for him because he knew that he was weak, but not wicked like his brother, Max. He believed that Johann would very useful to him. 4-I don’t think so. If he had arrested Rupert, Michael and his men might have killed the King, Rassendyll also thought that perhaps Rupert would betray Michael and help him save the King. 5-Perhaps she wanted to be sure that she didn’t do anything wrong. It is more polite to apologize to someone and be sure that you have not offendedُیسيء إلي them. 6-Perhaps they would have helped Michael to kill or arrest him. / Perhaps they would have supported Rassendyll as he cared about them and he was growing in popularity. 7-Rupert just wanted to warn Rassendyll not to try to save the King. He meant to say that if Rassendyll tried to rescue the King, he would die. 8-No, I wouldn’t. Michael knew that Rassendyll wanted to save the King. He also knew that Rassendyll was a very strong man. It wouldn’t be wise of him to let his enemy be so close to him.


59

Chapter 7

1- D 2- A 3- C 4- C 5- D 6- B 7- A 8- D 9- A 10- B Answer the following questions: 1-No, he wasn’t. It was war and Max was working for the enemy. If Rassendyll hadn’t killed him, Max would have killed Rassendyll. 2-No, he wasn’t. Rupert was ready to work against Michael and help Rassendyll in order to get a reward. He was not loyal to Michael. He would do anything for money and power. 3-I don’t think so. If Rassendyll had tried to do that, he could have been killed and his plan could have failed. It wasn’t easy to do that as Max was a strong and evil man. 4-because if the servants didn’t know that the King was held prisoner, they would think that Rassendyll was the real King when they saw him and would help him save the King. 5-No, I wouldn’t. Rupert only wanted to get a reward. Rassendyll didn’t want to stay King forever. He only pretended to be King for the good of Ruritania and he would never betray the people who trusted him. 6-Yes, it made Rassendyll’s situation worse. Rassendyll felt that his game had almost been discovered. He needed more time to save the King. 7-I think so because Rupert believed that Rassendyll wanted to stay King. He didn’t understand that Rassendyll was only pretending to be King for the good of Ruritania. Bad people usually think that others are bad like them. 8-I think he would because he had no choice. If Johann had refused to help Rassendyll, he knew that he could have been killed or kept prisoner in the country house.

Chapter 8 1- C 2- A 3- C 4- D 5-C 6- A 7- D 8- D 9- C 10- A Answer the following questions: 1-I think he would be a better King because Rassendyll taught him what a true King should do. He would try to run the country well. He wouldn’t be a distant King. He would show his people that he trusted them and he would try to make all people like him, not just a few. 2-Yes, I would. Working in another embassy would help Rassendyll do something useful in life. Rassendyll learned a valuable lesson about duties and responsibilities while he was in Ruritania.


60

3-No, he wouldn’t. He would try to treat all his people fairly and equally. Rassendyll taught him what a true King should do and I think he learned a lot from his mistakes in the past. 4-Yes, he did. Rassendyll stopped the poor people thinking badly about the King. He made them feel that the King was close to them and trusted them. People began to realize that their King cared about them and their lives. 5-It would have been easy for Michael to kill his brother and take the crown. 6-The best moral is that we all have duties and responsibilities towards society. We also have a duty to help other people and when we help other people, we become better people. 7-Yes, I think they would because they would notice that Rassendyll had changed and became a different man who wanted to do something useful in life. In Ruritania, Rassendyll learned a valuable lesson about duties and responsibilities. 8-The character I like most is Rassendyll. Rassendyll was a man of principles who did his best to help other people. He never let his friends down. He was so smart and wise. He always learned from his mistakes. He was not greedy and always thought carefully about what to do.

Good Luck, Guys!

It’s just one step closer to making your dream come true.
