Ans. Jim considered Silver a turncoat because he quickly changed sides from the doctor’s group to the pirates’ side. (āϜিāĻŽে āĻ›িāϞāĻ­াā§°āĻ• āĻāϟা āĻĻুāϤāϞী⧟া āĻŽাāύুāĻš āĻŦুāϞি āĻ—āĻŖ্āϝ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ, āĻ•াā§°āĻŖ āϤেāĻ“ঁ āϏোāύāĻ•াāϞে āϚিāĻ•িā§ŽāϏāĻ•āϜāύ⧰ āĻĻāϞ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āĻĄāĻ•াāχāϤāĻŦোā§°ā§° āĻĒāĻ•্āώāϞৈ āĻ—ুāϚি āĻ—ৈāĻ›িāϞ।)

Ans. I like the doctor’s character the most because he was very intelligent and wise. He mixed with the pirates cleverly, gained their trust and protected the treasure from them. (āĻŽāχ āϚিāĻ•িā§ŽāϏāĻ•āϜāύ⧰ āϚ⧰িāϤ্ā§°āϟো āφāϟাāχāϤāĻ•ৈ āĻ­াāϞ āĻĒাāχāĻ›োঁ, āĻ•াā§°āĻŖ āϤেāĻ“ঁ āĻ…āϤি āĻŦুāĻĻ্āϧিāĻŽাāύ āφ⧰ু āĻĻূā§°āĻĻā§°্āĻļী āφāĻ›িāϞ। āϤেāĻ“ঁ āĻŦুāĻĻ্āϧিā§°ে āĻĄāĻ•াāχāϤāĻŦোā§°ā§° āϞāĻ—āϤ āĻŽিāϞি āĻ—ৈ āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻŦিāĻļ্āĻŦাāϏ āϜ⧟ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ āφ⧰ু āĻ—ুāĻĒ্āϤāϧāύāĻ–িāύি āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āϏুā§°āĻ•্āώিāϤ ā§°াāĻ–িāĻ›িāϞ।)
