(N/A) An earthen pot has small pores on its surface from which water evaporates continuously. The latent heat of vaporization required for the process of evaporation is taken from the remaining water inside the pot. As the heat is removed from the water,its temperature decreases,making the water cool during summers.
$(b)$ The qualities shown by Sameer are:
$(i)$ Respectful behavior towards elders.
