NCERT Solutions for Class 8 English Chapter 7: The Case of the Fifth Word
"The Case of the Fifth Word" opens Unit 3, Mystery and Magic, at about twenty-one pages. It is by Donald J. Sobol, the creator of the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries, and the preface says it emphasises that keen attention to detail and critical thinking can help uncover hidden truths and solve mysteries. Students read a detective story, look for clues, try to solve the case before the end and discuss what the detective noticed. It supports comprehension, inference and logical reasoning, and is a good chapter for writing a short mystery of their own.
