READING SKILLS, GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY

Q.1. (A) Read the following passage and do the activities given: 10

1. Complete the following by selecting the correct alternative from the ones given in the brackets: 2

(a) The writer was going to leave on ______________ (Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon, Monday morning)

(b) The writer grabbed ten ties of different ______________ (sizes, shapes, colours, styles)

On Monday, lunch lasted the whole afternoon. Then it was Tuesday morning,  time to leave. It was only when I saw our airport bus waiting outside the hotel that I remembered the tie.  I told the group to go on. I would get a taxi to the airport. And so I went in search of a nearby shop  where I had seen ties.  But I couldn't find it. I walked further down the street—one, two, three blocks—~all in vain. Back  at the hotel, a bit anxious now, I took my suitcase, got a taxi and asked the driver to rush to the street  where I had seen them.  The driver stopped at each shop we passed so I could look from the taxi window. The stores had  all sorts of ties, but not the kind I was looking for.  When I finally thought I had located the right shop, I decided to go in and check. The driver  refused to wait. Parking was prohibited, he said. I promised to double the fare, jumped out and ran into  the shop. Was I going to miss the plane just for a damned tie?  The salesman was unbearably slow. When I realized that the smallest change I had was a ten  dollar note, I grabbed ten ties of different colours so I wouldn't have to wait for change. I rushed out with  the ties in a paper bag.  On the street I looked around. The taxi had vanished, taking my suitcase. What is more, I was  going to miss the plane.  I ran to the corner, and hope flared up again: the taxi was waiting in the next street. Quick, to the  airport! As I settled down inside the taxi. I sighed with relief. Gilson was going to have enough initialized  ties to last him, lifetime.

(b) Where did the writer find the taxi waiting? 1

3. Pick a word

5. What, do you think, would the writer have done, if the taxi had really vanished? 2
