This was the grand finale. The children did not want it to end. They shouted ‘encore’, ‘once more’. But Kim gave them a bright smile and vanished from the scene. The children were left searching here and there for him. Then they walked out excitedly recounting what they had seen and how wonderful it was. One of the boys Rajan declared loudly, it was the best magic show of the century! What is the meaning of ‘hopping’? A. Running B. Jumping C. Standing D. Singing
