The Pound Of Butter Questions & Answers
Question 1: Why did Mr Carson frown as he worked?
Answer: Mr Carson was a good baker. He frowned as his cakes were not turning out as well as they used to be. Mr Carson could not understand the reason for this since he was using the same amount of everything – butter, sugar, eggs and flour. But the cakes were not the same.
Question 2: Why did the cakes not come out right?
Answer: Mr Carson was an excellent baker. Since a few days, his cakes had not been turning out to be as good as they had always been. The reason was that the butter which Farmer Winston was supplying to him was less than a pound.
Question 3: The packets of buffer that Farmer Winston sold Mr Carson did not weigh one pound each. True or False?
Answer: True
Question 4: Choose the correct option:
But the cakes were not the same. This means that
(a) Mr Carson was now baking different cakes.
(b) Mr Carson’s cakes were not as good as before.
(c) Mr Carson made each cake a different weight.
Question 5: Do you think the police arrested the farmer?
Answer: Mr Carson was suspicious that the butter supplied by Farmer Winston was less than one pound as his cakes were not turning out well as usual. So, he measured the weight of the butter for a few days every morning soon after Farmer Winston had delivered it to him. He found out that the butter was less than one pound and he made a complaint against Farmer Winston to the police and the police arrested the farmer.
Question 6: Who was cheating whom?
Answer: As it turns out in the end, it was Mr Carson, the baker who had been cheating on Farmer Winston.
