Question 184

If you want to be a writer, you must learn to develop your own point of view. All good writers make us see things in a different light. You may be writing about the same thing as your classmates, but your presentation must reflect your personality and individuality. There are so many interesting subjects you can write about in different forms but here we will try to attempt writing short stories. There is a good market for the following types: the humorous stories, the adventurous stories, the domestic stories, the mysteries and stories related to animals and strange experiences. Don’t worry if your story turns out to be short. Some of the best stories are quite short. Be very careful about the climax or end of the story. It must be what the reader fears, desires, expects or best of all doesn’t expect. So, get down to it. Think of a plot-make points on how the story will progress and pen it down.

Question 185

To become a write think of a plot-make points on how the story will progress and pen it down. The phrase ‘pen it down’ here means:

To writ
To write✔️
To throw the pen
To throw it down

Correct Answer Logic:

The phrase "pen it down" means **to write** because in this context, "pen" is used as a verb meaning "to write or compose," and "down" suggests putting thoughts onto paper. The passage ends with the instruction: *"Think of a plot—make points on how the story will progress and pen it down,"* which clearly encourages the reader to write the plot points on paper. The other options—"to writ" (an archaic or incorrect form), "to throw the pen," or "to throw it down"—do not fit the logical or grammatical meaning of the sentence.
