    Question

    In the play The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde  what change did the Giant notice in his garden when the children sneaked back in?

    A.

    The trees bore more fruit.

    B.

    Spring had returned to his garden.

    C.

    The walls had grown higher.

    D.

    The birds had stopped singing.

    Correct option is B

    Solution- The Correct Answer: B. Spring had returned to his garden.
    The Giant had earlier built a high wall around his garden and chased the children away.
    As a result, Winter never ended in his garden—it remained cold and lifeless.
    But when the children sneaked back, the garden was filled with joy, warmth, blossoms, and bird songs.
    The return of the children symbolised the return of Spring, teaching the Giant the value of love and sharing.
    Information Booster-
    Author: Oscar Wilde.
    Genre: Allegorical short story/play.
    Theme: Love, compassion, and generosity bring joy; selfishness brings isolation.
    Moral: Happiness grows when we share with others.
    Additional Information-
    Symbolism of Seasons: Winter = selfishness, isolation, sadness. Spring = love, joy, sharing, and life.
    Religious Undertone: The little child in the story is often interpreted as a Christ-like figure, symbolising innocence, purity, and redemption.​
