Part D — Short Answer Questions:
1. Vitamin-M means Vitamin Memory. In the story, it refers to the love, care, and patience that a family gives to an elderly member — the only true medicine for memory loss and old age.
2. Grandma forgets things because of old age. As people grow old, the brain sometimes loses its ability to hold on to recent memories, and this is natural.
3. Ravi helps grandma by patiently finding her lost things, reminding her of what she has forgotten, keeping her company, and talking to her warmly so she never feels alone or embarrassed.
4. Patience is important with elders because they may be confused or forgetful due to age. Getting angry would hurt them and make them feel worse. Calm, gentle help makes them feel loved and respected.
5. The main theme of the story is that love and patience are the best medicine for elderly people. It teaches us to treat older family members with kindness, empathy, and dignity, just as they once cared for us.
