(Question 16-20) Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
Early on the seventh morning after he had left his native place, Oliver limped slowly into the little town of Barnet. The window-shutters were closed; the street was empty; not a soul had awakened to the business of the day. The sun was rising in all its splendid beauty; but the light only served to show the boy his own lonesomeness and desolation, as he sat, with bleeding feet and covered with dust, upon a door-step.
By degrees, the shutters were opened; the window-blinds were drawn up; and people began passing to and fro. Some few stopped to gaze at Oliver for a moment or two, or turned round to stare at him as they hurried by; but none relieved him, or troubled themselves to inquire how he came there. He had no heart to beg. And there he sat.
He had been crouching on the step for some time: wondering at the great number of public-houses (every other house in Barnet was a tavern, large or small), gazing listlessly at the coaches as they passed through, and thinking how strange it seemed that they could do, with ease, in a few hours, what it had taken him a whole week of courage and determination beyond his years to accomplish: when he was roused by observing that a boy, who had passed him carelessly some minutes before, had returned, and was now surveying him most earnestly from boy remained in the same attitude of close observation so long, that Oliver raised his head, and returned his steady look. Upon this, the boy crossed over; and walking close up to Oliver, said,
“Hullo, my covey! What’s the row?”
The boy who addressed this inquiry to the young wayfarer, was about this own age: but one of the queerest looking boys that Oliver had even seen. He was a snub-nosed, flat-browed, common-faced boy enough; and as dirty a juvenile as one would wish to see; but he had about him all the airs and manners of a man. He was short of his age: with rather bow-legs, and little, ugly eyes. His hat was stuck on the top of his head so lightly, that it threatened to fall off every moment – and would have done so, very often, if the wearer had not had a knack of every now and then giving his head a sudden twitch, which brought it back to its old place again. He wore a man’s coat, which reached nearly to his heels. He had turned the cuffs back, half-way up his arm, to get his hands out of the sleeves: apparently with the ultimate view of thrusting them into the pockets of his corduroy trousers; for there he kept them. He was, altogether, as swaggering a young gentleman as ever stood four feet six, or something less, in the bluchers.
“Hullo, my covey! What’s the row?” said this strange young gentleman to Oliver.
“I am very hungry and tired”, replied Oliver: the tears standing in his eyes as he spoke. “I have walked a long way. I have been walking these seven days.”
Question 16 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
(a) People of the town were sympathetic to Oliver sitting on the door-step.
(b) The boy came to Oliver when Oliver looked at him steadily.
(c) Oliver had tears in his eyes when the boy spoke to him.
(d) Little Oliver had been walking for seven days.
Answer: (b) The boy came to Oliver when Oliver looked at him steadily.
Question 17 After reading the passage, it can be inferred that it is an extract from:
(a) a biography
(b) an autobiography
(c) a novel
(d) a travelogue
Answer: (d) a travelogue
Question 18 Match the words with their meaning.

(c) a-1, b-3, c-2
(d) a-3, b-2, c-1
Answer: (d) a-3, b-2, c-1

(a) He was quite dirty and was wearing a coat.
(b) He was short and bow-legged.
(c) He had the airs and manners of a man.
(d) His hat was almost falling from his head.
Answer: (d) His hat was almost falling from his head.

(c) He was extremely tired and hungry.
