Question 7: Complete the summary of the poem.
In the poem, the poet imagines a peaceful world. He hopes that people should live peacefully without conflict. It tells that if we imagine that there are no countries then we would have nothing to kill or die for. If people were nicer to one another then there would be no war. Instead of having boundaries that divide us the poet believes we should live as one and share the world. But the poet does call himself a dreamer which is why this poem is based on hope.
Question 8: What kind of disputes and wars does the poet hope will come to an end when he says – ‘Imagine there’s no country’? Give examples.
Answer: The poet says us to imagine that there are no countries and no religions too. The countries and the religions divide the people and also lead them to fight and kill each other. He wants us to imagine what if these two dividing forces were not here on the earth, then no person would die or kill others. And thus all the people will live life in peace.

Question 11: Why do you think the poet says that the world might think he is a dreamer?
Answer: The poet says that the world might think he is a dreamer, I think, he is not the only one to think like this. There are many others as well and someday we will also join him and that day the world will be one. There will be unity among the people and peace and prosperity will prevail.
