I) READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS GIVEN BELOW:
Once a lazy young grasshopper danced and sang throughout the hot summer and the colourful spring, without doing any work. Meanwhile, in an anthill nearby, a swarm of hardworking ants stored food for winter. In winter, the grasshopper ate nothing. Weak and
hungry, he went to the ants to beg for some food. He said, “Honorable ladies, I am hungry and weak. Kindly give me some food. I will surely repay it to you this summer.’’ The ants said, “Dear sir, we are your friends, but we are sorry. What did you do all summer ?’’ “I sang all day happily,’’ said the grasshopper. “Now, dance all night happily,’’ the ants said angrily and closed the door. No work, no food.
