ENGLISH – SET A
 
Qns 
 
I. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
 
1. I met Mr. Franks at Susie’s birthday party. Susie had told me, “He’s my grandpa’s closest friend – lives in the Home for the Aged. He must be eighty at least!” I took a liking to Mr. Franks the moment I started talking to him. He had a great enthusiasm for life, despite his poor health – and the most interesting stories to tell. His anecdotes kept us laughing and amused throughout the evening. As I rose to get back to my school hostel, he said, “Why don’t you come and see me at the Home sometime? Though you might think it boring to sit and chat with an old man like me!” I assured him that I would surely come with Susie to the Home to meet him. From then on, I met Mr. Franks every Wednesday. He would be sitting in his tiny garden and soaking in the warm winter sunshine. He had been an expert gardener in his younger days and had many certificates to prove it.
 
2. Mr. Franks had served in the army, and somehow most of his anecdotes were an amusing mixture of plant and military life. “You know, misunderstandings can be quite embarrassing sometimes! Once when I was away on leave, our unit mess got the electricity connection they had been wanting for quite some time. I did not know that. When I returned, the colonel asked me to get new bulbs put in the whole mess. I informed him that I had already put in the bulbs, and could not put in new ones. He was extremely angry at me for disobeying orders and we continued arguing. It was only much later that we realized that he was talking of the electric bulbs and I of the bulbs of the lily plant!”
