(N/A) The qualities possessed by Ram are:
$(i)$ Keen observation skills.
$(ii)$ Curiosity to learn from elders.
$(iii)$ Respectful and communicative relationship with his mother.
$(b)$ $A$ wet khus-khus screen keeps the room cool due to the process of evaporation. When the air passes through the wet screen,the water present in the khus-khus absorbs heat from the incoming air to undergo phase change (evaporation). As the air loses heat,its temperature decreases,resulting in a cooling effect inside the room.
