  Direction: Read the following Passage and Answer the Questions given after it.

  The first thing the children wanted to do at the zoo was to ride the elephant. They were frightened as they climbed the ladder to take their seats on the swaying back of the huge beast. Elephants seem to be awkward creatures as they move along heavily, their legs covered with loose folds of tough skin and their trunk swinging from side to side in search of food or drink. An elephant has great strength in its trunk, and can drag heavy loads with ropes, but it can also use its trunk to pick up small articles such as coins or nuts from the ground. After their ride on the elephant, the children went to see the lions and tigers. Crowds of people stood watching, protected from the cruel beasts by the strong metal bars of the cages.

  From there, they went to see the monkeys. Those merry creatures were jumping about the rocks, swinging on the wires of their cages, or begging for nuts from the passersby. If anyone annoyed them, they would scold him angrily and beat their chests with their hands. In the end, they saw some curious creatures like the giraffe with its long neck and the camel with its short beard.

  Which of the following is the reaction of monkeys when they get irritated?
  A)
   They jump about the rock

  B)
   They swing on the wire of the cage
  done clear
  C)

  Direction: Read the following Passage and Answer the Questions given after it. Bansilal's train was late and it reached Bombay a little after midnight. It was his first visit to the city, and he didn't know where to go. He thought he would go to a choultry where he would not have to pay rent, but he did not know how to find one at that hour. He asked a porter to get him a cheap room. The porter asked him for three rupees to take him to one. But Bansilal waved him away and walked out of the station. He wandered through the streets and asked a number of people, but could not find a room cheap enough for him.

  He sat down on a park bench to think of what he should do next. He was very tired and fell asleep on the bench. He woke up the next morning, stiff in every limb; but he smiled when he realised that it was the cheapest night's lodging that he had ever had.
