Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions.

Once there was a miser who sold all his possessions and, with the money, bought a great lump of gold,
dug a deep hole at the edge of the garden, and there he buried his gold. Once a day, thereafter, the
miser went to the garden, dug up his gold, and embraced it lovingly. One of the miser’s workmen
wondered why his master spent so much time in the garden. One day, he hid behind a tree and soon
discovered the secret of the hidden treasure. That night, when the miser was fast asleep, the workman
crept into the garden and stole the lump of gold. When the miser found that his gold was gone, he tore
his hair and cried aloud in his despair. A neighbour came running to see what the matter was, and the
grief-stricken miser told him what had happened. Then the neighbours said, “Pray to stop your
weeping. Go and find a stone. Place the stone in the hole and imagine that it is your lump of gold. The
stone will serve your purpose, for you never meant to use the gold anyway.” “To a miser, what he has
is of no more use than what he has not.”

My next pet was a pigeon, the most revolting bird to look at, with his feathers pushing through the
wrinkled scarlet skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down that covers baby pigeons and makes them
look as though they have been peroxiding their hair. Because of his repulsive and obese appearance,
we called him Quasimodo. Since he had an unorthodox upbringing, without parents to teach him,
Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all, and refused to fly. He walked everywhere.
He was always eager to join us in anything we did.
He would even try to come for walks with us. So you had to either carry him on your shoulder, which
was risking an accident to your clothes, or else you let him walk behind. If you let him walk, then you
had to slow down your own pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead, you would hear the most
frantic and imploring coos and turn around to find Quasimodo running desperately after you.

(d) He always copied whatever humans did

4. Quasimodo protested when he was

(a) Left at home
(b) Lifted on human shoulders

(d) Left behind during walks.

5. The phrase ‘risking an accident to your clothes’ means

(b) There was a chance of the bird soiling their clothes
(c) The bird risked a fall
(d) The bird did not like their clothes

In the gentle breeze of a summer’s day.

It whispers tales of lands afar,

Of sparkling streams and a shooting star.
Its roots run deep, its trunk stands tall,
A silent witness to it all.

And hear the stories it has made.
For in its heart, so old and wise,
Lie secrets of the earth and skies.
