مَتَى تَزْدَادُ الْأُمُّ حُبًّا لِأَبْنَائِهَا كَمَا وَرَدَ فِي الْفَقْرَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ النَّصِّ؟

According to the second paragraph, when does a mother’s love for her children grow?

كُلَّمَا أَحَسَّتْ بِحَاجَتِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا.

Whenever she senses they need her.

كُلَّمَا زَادَ جُهْدُهَا فِي تَرْبِيَتِهِمْ.

Whenever she invests more effort in raising them.

كُلَّمَا كَبُرُوا أَمَامَهَا فِي الْعُمْرِ.

Whenever she watches them grow older.

كُلَّمَا جَالَسَتْهُمْ وَقَضَتْ أَوْقَاتَهَا مَعَهُمْ.

Whenever she sits and spends time with them.

كَيْفَ وَصَفَ الْكَاتِبُ عَاطِفَةَ الْأُمِّ تُجَاهَ أَبْنَائِهَا؟

How does the author describe a mother’s feelings toward her children?

مِنْ خِلَالِ الْفَقْرَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، بَيِّنْ كَيْفَ تَكُونُ النِّسَاءُ شَقَائِقَ الرِّجَالِ؟

Based on the third paragraph, explain how women are the counterparts of men.

الْوَحْدَةُ الْأُولَى.

Unit One.

هَلْ يُمْكِنُ لِلْأَبِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَاطِفَةً تُجَاهَ الْأَبْنَاءِ كَعَاطِفَةِ الْأُمِّ؟

Can a father feel the same affection for his children as a mother does?

وَضِّحْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ وِجْهَةِ نَظَرِ الْكَاتِبِ أَوَّلًا، ثُمَّ مِنْ وِجْهَةِ نَظَرِكَ.

Explain this first from the author's perspective, then from your own.

«تَسْكُبُ قَلْبَهَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَحِيلُوا إِلَى قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يَخْفِقُ خُفُوقًا وَاحِدًا».

"She pours her heart into theirs until they become a single heart, beating in unison."

مَا الْمَعْنَى الْمُتَضَمَّنُ فِي الْعِبَارَةِ السَّابِقَةِ؟

What is the underlying meaning of this statement?

وَكَذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْخَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ أَيَّامِهِ أَنْ يَجِدَ فِي قَلْبِ وَلَدِهِ الْفَتَى مِنَ الْحَنَانِ وَالْعَطْفِ وَالْحُبِّ وَالْإِيثَارِ مَا يَجِدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِ ابْنَتِهِ الْفَتَاةِ».

"Likewise, in his final days, an elderly man cannot find the same tenderness, affection, love, and selflessness in his son’s heart as he does in his daughter’s."

وَضِّحْ وِجْهَةَ نَظَرِ الْكَاتِبِ فِي الْعِبَارَةِ السَّابِقَةِ، وَهَلْ تُوَافِقُهُ فِيمَا ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ؟

Explain the author's point of view here, and state whether you agree with his conclusion.
