The gypsies are a tribe of strange people. They do not have any fixed home, but wander about from place to place and live in tents. They were originally natives of India, but as they reached England from Egypt, the English took them for Egyptians. This is why they came to be called gypsies. They were believed to possess strange powers. They could tell your fortune by reading the palm of your hand. It was thought they stole little children to train them in their way of life. Whenever a child got lost, it was thought that it had been carried away by gypsies. So they were arrested and sent for trial. But this attitude towards the gypsies has gradually changed.

✔ সঠিক উত্তর: ঘ) have shown signs of change

ব্যাখ্যা:

✅ কেন সঠিক: অনুচ্ছেদের শেষ বাক্য: ‘But this attitude towards the gypsies has gradually changed’ — যাযাবরদের প্রতি মনোভাব ধীরে ধীরে বদলেছে, অর্থাৎ পরিবর্তনের লক্ষণ দেখা গেছে (have shown signs of change)।

❌ অন্য অপশন: ক) ও খ) বলে মনোভাব আগের মতোই আছে — অনুচ্ছেদের বিপরীত; গ) শিশু চুরি বন্ধ করার শর্তের কথা অনুচ্ছেদে নেই।

💡 মনে রাখুন: gradually = ধীরে ধীরে; উত্তরের সঙ্গে অনুচ্ছেদের মূল শব্দ মিলিয়ে নাও।

📖 শব্দার্থ:
attitude = মনোভাব
gradually = ক্রমে ক্রমে
sign = লক্ষণ
