Answer:A house is a structure made up of bricks and stones. It has windows, doors, chimneys and a roof. On the other hand, a home is a place where family members live together selflessly. They love and care for each other.

 Question 2.What is the basic idea of the poet?

Answer:The basic idea of the poet in the poem ‘A House, A Home’ is to show the importance of a home over a house. While doing this she compared a house with a home. According to her, a house is just an infrastructure which is built up of bricks, stones and woods.

 There may be windows, tile floors, stucco and lots of doors but it is of no use until it is made a home. A home, according to the poet can be made by a family of father, mother, sister and brother who cares and love each other without any selfish interest. They share and are together in each other’s happiness and sorrow.
