13) Ageon lost his younger son-- 7 years ago., 14) The name of the younger slave was-- Dromio., 15) Elder antipholus was married to-- Adriana., 16) The younger sister of adrianna was-- Luciana., 17) The lady Abbess was actually the wife of-- Ageon., 18) The comedy of errors is set in the city of-- ephesus., 19) Antipholus of Syracuse Mary-- Luciana., 20) The lady with whom, elder antipholus dined , gave him-- a ring., 1) Why did Antipholus of Syracuse or Younger Antipholus think Ephesus to be a land of Sorcerers and witches?, (5), Ans : A series of strange happenings on the land of ephesus made antipholus younger think that he was amid Sorcerers, and witches . Antipholus younger failed to figure out that how he could be asked by his own slave Dromio who was, actually the Dromio of ephesus to dine with an unknown lady named Adriana. That lady even claimed him to be her, husband. He even could not understand that his slave Dromio went to that lady's house to bring money to release his, master thinking the antipholus younger as antipholus of Ephesus. Antipholus was amazed to be handed over a gold chain, by a goldsmith who mistook antipholus of Syracuse as the antipholus of ephesus. While on the streets in Ephesus ,, antipholus younger was greeted warmly by people of whom some offered Him money and some showed gratitude to him, for being humane. Such behaviour from the Ephesian people seemed extremely unnatural, unconvincing and uncanny, indeed. Thus comedy of errors to antipholus younger made him feel so., 2) Narrate the gold chain episode in your own words. (5), Ans : the gold chain episode constitutes one of the funniest episodes in '' the comedy of errors''. This happens as a result of, mistaken identity which leads further complications to the comedy of errors. After leaving adriana's house, antipholus of, Syracuse and younger Dromio happened to come by a Goldsmith. The goldsmith, mistaking antipholus of Syracuse as, antipholus of Ephesus , delivered the Gold chain forcibly to antipholus of Syracuse. Though the younger antipholus, refused to accept the chain, he was not heard of anymore. No sooner had they gone, than the goldsmith was arrested for, his debt. Then he noticed antipholus of ephesus passing by his way and asked for money. But elder antipholus confirmed, that he did not receive any such gold chain. incidentally, both were arrested. By that time younger antipholus came across, a lady who thinking younger antipholus as antipholus of Ephesus asked for the chain that he promised to give her. But, antipholus younger was completely bewildered and fled. Thus, the gold chain episode has added fun and frolic to the, comedy of errors., 3) How did the Abbess make a adrianna find her own fault? / what lesson did Adriana get from her mother in, law? Who was this Abbess actually?, (4+1=5), Ans : after careful observation and listening to the statement from antipholus and Adriana, the Abbess sommed up that, antipholus of ephesus , the husband of Adriana, was not mentally deranged. Adriana's jealous behaviour to her husband, led him lose the peace of mind. The loss of peace in antipholus of ephesus grew due to Insomnia, hunger and restriction to, speech, only for adriana's unreasonable suspicion. The Abbess also added that Adriana's conduct pushed her husband to, be melancholic and ill - tempered. Thus , her husband appeared lunatic to her., 4) What was the experience of antipholus younger and Dromio younger in the house of, Adriana?, (5), Ans : Adrianna, the wife of elder Antipholus, arrived at the Inn and claimed Younger Antipholus as her husband. This, was a mistake because of the two brothers' identical appearance. The Antipholus Younger and the Dromio younger were, taken to the house of the elder antipholus. The antipholus younger was served dinner there and Adriana continued calling, him her husband. The sister of Adriana, Luciana also gave company to antipholus younger. The younger Dromio also had, to face an awkward situation because the cook- maid of the house, Dowsabel , claimed him as her husband. The situation, 7439101918 (Arun Sir)

Since she was left alone, she entered a nunnery., 8) Why did Adriana think that her husband had gone mad?, Answer: When the money did not reach Antipholus of Ephesus, he went to his house along with the jailor to, get the money.

She began to doubt him and thought that her husband had gone mad., 9) Why was the goldsmith as well Antipholus of Ephesus taken to jail?, Answer: The goldsmith mistook Antipholus of Syracuse for Antipholus of Ephesus and had handed over a, chain to him.
