    Direction (1 - 4): Read the passage given below and answer the following questions by choosing the correct option.
    "Why aren't you wearing chappals?” I ask one.
    "My mother did not bring them down from the shelf," he answers simply.
    "Even if she did he will throw them off,” adds another who is wearing shoes that do not match. When I comment on it, he shuffles his feet and says nothing. "I want shoes”, says a third boy who has never owned a pair all his life. Travelling across the country I have seen children walking barefoot, in cities, on village roads. It is not lack of money but a tradition to stay barefoot, is one explanation. I wonder if this is only an excuse to explain away a perpetual state of poverty.
