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.
2 Arvind joined the impatient passengers elbowing their way onto the train. The 5 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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
8 "Hello Madam Saraswathy, how are you? Remember me? I'm Sneha, your ex-student from Class 2007."
9 "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.
26 From paragraph 1, what was Arvind looking forward to?
[1 mark]
27 From paragraph 2,
(a) why do you think the passengers were compared to ants?
