A. Read
the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
I was having tea at home
on the evening of 30th January, 1948, when I was called to Birla house by an urgent
telephone. Gandhiji had been shot on his way to a prayer meeting. I was numb with
shock as I got into the car.
At the Birla House, Gandhiji’s
relatives and followers had gathered round his body. There was silence in the room
as Gandhiji breathed his last. Words of Bapuji’s death had spread through Delhi
like a flame fanned by wind. Sad groups of men and women had collected around Birla
House. Out of every window one could see a brown blur of faces. They did not make
a sound. There was an unnatural silence. It was as if time stood still for those
few minutes.
The people were too stunned
to speak in the beginning. Later they clamoured wildly, shouting and crying. They
jostled one another in a stampede to break into the house. They calmed a little
when it was announced that they would be allowed to see Gandhiji before the funeral.

To occupy my place.

You are not so small as
I,

A very pretty squirrel

If I cannot carry forests
on my back
Neither can you crack
a nut.’
