Answer» (1) The Duck requested the Kangaroo to give him a ride on his back to see the world beyond the pond. (2) If the Kangaroo gave a ride on his back to the Duck, the Duck would sit quite still on his back throughout the day without speaking a single word except ‘Quack’. (3) The Figure of Speech in the line ‘Said the Duck to the Kangaroo’ is inversion. Here the words in the sentence structure are inverted, i.e., instead of ‘The Duck said to the Kangaroo’, it is ‘Said the Duck to the Kangaroo’. |
