Model Answer

Amanda was nagged and scolded for the following:

  1. Not sitting straight — She was told to sit up straight and stop slouching.
  2. Biting her nails — She was scolded for the habit of biting her nails.

She was also nagged about not cleaning her shoes and not finishing her homework.

Explanation

The question is from the poem Amanda! by Robin Klein (Class 10, First Flight). The source passages provided do not contain this poem, so the answer is drawn from the prescribed NCERT textbook. In the poem, Amanda is repeatedly nagged about: sitting up straight, not biting nails, finishing homework, cleaning her room/shoes, and not eating chocolate. For a 2-mark answer, mentioning any two correct points with brief detail is sufficient. Do not write lengthy explanations — one line per point is enough.
