Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow in
correct English sentences. Use your words as far as possible.

The information starled Mrs Bennet.


“Lizzy will be brought to reason, Mr Collins, “she said. “I will speak to myself at once. She is
very headstrong foolish girl, and does not know her own interest ; but I will make her know it”
“Pardon me, Madam, “cried Mr Collings. “but if she is really headstrong and foolish, I do not
think she would be a very desirable wife to a man in my situation …”
“Sir, you misunderstand me”, said Mrs Bennet, alarmed. “Lizzy is only headstrong in these
matters. In everything else she is quite a good- natured girl. I will go directly to Mr Bennet, and we
will very soon settle it with her, I am sure”.
She did not give him time to reply, and hurried instantly to her husband, who was in the library.

“Oh ! Mr Bennet, you are wanted immediately. You must come and make Lizzy marry Mr
Collins, for she will not have him, and if you do not make haste he will change his mind and not
have her.”
Mr Bennet raised his eyes from his book, and fixed them on her face with calm unconcern.
“I do not have the pleasure of understanding you”, he said. “What are you talking about” ?
“Mr Collins and Lizzy. Lizzy declares she will not have Mr Collins and Mr Collins begins to say
that he will not have Lizzy”.
“And what am I to do on the occasion ? … It seems a hopeless business.”
“Speak to Lizzy about it yourself. Tell her that you insist upon marrying him.”
“Call her down. She will hear my opinion.”
Mrs Bennet rang the bell, and Elizabeth came in.
“Come here, child”, said her father as he appeared. “ I have sent for you on an affair of
importance. I understand that Mr Collins has made you an offer of marriage. Is it true ? Elizabeth
replied that it was. “Very well – and this offer of marriage you have refused ?”.
“ I have, sir.”
“ Very well. We now come to the point. Your mother insists upon your accepting it. Is not it so,
Mrs Bennet ?”
“ Yes, or I will never see her again”
“An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of
your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr Collins. And I will never
see you again if you do…
