Section A - Reading
1. Read this passage and answer the questions that follow:
Once we had a huge guest at home. It was Lakshmi, a young elephant. It belonged to
one of our rich relatives. He wanted us to keep her at our place for a few days.
Lakshmi was fond of ripe bananas more than sugar cane. We had plenty of bananas as
we had three banana trees in our house, but the ripe bananas were kept in the cellar.
Only grandfather could take them out and distribute. I wanted to be friendly with
Lakshmi by feeding her with ripe bananas. So I waited for an opportunity and, as
soon as grandfather was out, I quietly went to the cellar and took bananas for
Lakshmi. She ate them with great relish. Later, grandfather found out that I had taken
the bananas. I apologized to him for taking the bananas without his permission.
