Questions 26 to 31 are based on the following passage.

1

It was a lovely summer's day and after a challenging semester at college, the
prospect of being home filled Arvind with excitement. Within an hour of
leaving his hostel, he was at the train station ready to begin his long, tedious
JOurney.

Arvind joined the impatient passengers elbowing their way onto the train. The
coach was packed with people trying to get to their seats. If any similarity was
to be found between ants and human beings, this was the place! He closed his
eyes and started thinking of home: the food he would relish, the friends he
would meet and the hours he would spend watching television.

After about fifteen minutes, the train hooted and pulled out of the station. 10
Arvind noticed that the seat opposite him remained vacant. Expecting the long
journey to be very boring, Arvind took off his glasses and tried to sleep.
Some time later, the train stopped at a station before moving on again.
Suddenly, his rest was disturbed by a movement. He could vaguely see the
shape of a suitcase, followed by a human silhouette. His eyesight was very poor 15
so he put on his glasses, and what he saw took his breath away. There, in the
opposite seat, was a girl of about his age with all the features that a teenage boy
would look for in his dream girl.

Of course, she did not notice Arvind, but other passengers glanced at him
curiously - what was a teenager doing sleeping with his glasses on? He may 20
have looked as if he was asleep but Arvind slept very little that night.

The next day, he was very energetic, or as teenagers often say, 'hyperactive' one of the chief symptoms of trying to impress a girl. It was the first time in his
life that he'd ever gone to the bathroom on a train to freshen up and make
himself look more presentable. Funnily enough, the person opposite did the 25
same. Minutes later, she was back in her seat.

There was no eye contact yet. His mind was racing fast, planning his next move
while the train thundered along. A line from his favourite song popped into his
head, 'It's Now or Never ... ' Plucking up courage, Arvind asked her, "Tea?"
Short and sweet to begin with. First, silence, then a nod. That was the start that 30
Arvind had been hoping for. He behaved like a perfect gentleman. Then he
began to tell her about himself. She, on the other hand, was somewhat shy and
said very little. Lunch and dinner were at his invitation and, eventually, it was
time to sleep. Just because she had said goodnight did not mean that Arvind was
to have a good night's sleep. He spent the whole night planning how he would 35
impress her further.

It was shortly after dawn when they arrived at their destination. Arvind saw his
parents waiting on the platform. Waving happily, they came towards him and
hugged him. Arvind's mother said, "We are so ... " Before she could finish her
sentence, she noticed the girl who was standing behind him.
40

"Hello Madam Saraswathy, how are you? Remember me? I'm Sneha, your
ex-student from Class 2007."

"Yes, of course! You were my favourite student. You've grown into a beautiful
young lady! Were you two in the same coach?" Arvind turned and saw Sneha
nodding with a faint blushing smile. "Arvind, remember Sneha? You used to 45
play with her when she came over for tuition," his mother said. Arvind was so
embarrassed that he could hardly speak. His heart was beating fast and he
wished the ground beneath him would swallow him up.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

What Has Happened to Lulu?

What has happened to Lulu, mother?

What has happened to Lu?
There's nothing in her bed but an old rag-doll
And by its side a shoe.
Why is her window wide, mother,
The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf
Where her money-box used to be?
Why do you tum your head, mother,
And why do the tear-drops fall?
And why do you crumple that note on the fire
And say it is nothing at all?
I woke to voices late last night,
I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more?
I heard somebody cry, mother,
In anger or in pain,
But now I ask you why, mother,
You say it was a gust of rain.
