Question 1:

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate option.

"Let's go! We are going to be late" shouted Glen gleefully as he tightened his schoolbag on his back. Three other faces broke into a smile upon hearing his words. They could not wait to soak their feet in the water and perhaps catch a small fish or two, just for kicks. They were clearly not heading towards where they should be school. The cold imposing white building became smaller and smaller. Their little hearts grew braver by the minute. They knew exactly where to go.

The canal was huge but that morning, there was only a small lazy stream of dirty water in it. With great gusto, Glen, the leader of the pack, hoisted himself over the railings and climbed down the huge monsoon drain. In the process, he got himself very dirty, but the excitement of truancy was too great to be bothered by some loose buttons and tears in his shirt.

In a fraction of seconds, the other boys joined him, Soon, screams and laughter of delight reverberated into the air but no one else could hear them for they had chosen a canal that was far from anyone. Glen spied many tiny fish darting to and fro in the murky water. They had no economical value and were practically worthless but nevertheless, the thrill of catching them bare-handed was priceless. Glen raced after an extra fat one. He plunged his hands to grab it only to have it slip between the cracks of his fingers.

She took me into the station dining-room, ordered tea and samosas and jalebies, and at once I began to thaw and take a new interest in this kind woman. The strange encounter had little effect on my appetite. I was a hungry school boy and I ate as much as I could in as polite a manner as possible. She took obvious pleasure in watching me eat and I think it was the food that strengthened the bond between us and cemented our friendship, for under the influence of the tea and sweets I began to talk quite freely and told her about my school, my friends, my likes and dislikes/

2. She questioned me quietly from time to time, but preferred listening; she drew me out very well and I had soon forgotten that we were strangers. But she did not ask me about my family or where I lived and I did not ask her where she lived. I accepted her for what she had been to me a quiet, kind and gentlewoman who gave sweets to a lonely boy on a railway platform/

3. After about half-an-hour we left the dining- room and began walking back along the platform. An engine was shunting up and down beside platform No. 8 and as it approached, a boy leapt off the platform and ran across the rails, taking a short cut to the next platform. He was at a safe distance from the engine and there was no danger unless he had fallen; but as he leapt across the rails, the woman clutched my arm/

4. Her fingers dug into my flesh and I winced with pain. I caught her fingers and looked up at her and I saw a spasm of pain and fear and sadness pass across her face. She watched the boy as he climbed other platform and it was not until he had disappeared in the crowd that she relaxed her hold on my arm. She smiled at me reassuringly and took my hand again: but her fingers trembled against mine/
