Explanation

Malala did not ask Dr. Fiona if she could have her clothes so she could leave the hospital and meet her parents.

Submit
10. What item does Malala ask for at the beginning of Chapter 26? 

Explanation

In Chapter 26, Malala asks for a mirror. The reason behind this request is not explicitly mentioned in the question. However, it is possible that Malala wants a mirror to see her reflection and check her appearance. This could be because she wants to ensure that she presents herself well and looks presentable, or perhaps she wants to see any physical changes in herself after her recovery from the attack. A mirror can also symbolize self-reflection and self-acceptance, which aligns with Malala's journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Submit
11. Who was the doctor that talked to Malala about her medical condition?

Explanation

Dr. Fiona Reynolds is a British intensive care specialist who played a critical role in saving Malala Yousafzai’s life after she was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012. She was the first foreign doctor to assess Malala in Pakistan and advocated strongly for her transfer to the UK for advanced treatment. Reynolds was deeply moved by Malala’s condition and potential, and her medical report helped convince Pakistani authorities and the international community to act quickly. She later accompanied Malala on her journey to Birmingham, where Malala received further treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Dr. Reynolds’ involvement was pivotal in Malala’s survival and recovery.

Submit
