with Solution Part 5
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
There ar five people at out table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time. We have been at sea, although we rarely meet except at meal times. First of all, there is Dr. Stone, my favourite. I must confess. He is a man of about sixty five, with grey hair and a humorous face. He gave up his practice a short while ago and is now travelling round the world before he retires to some quiet country village. During the day, he sits on the deck reading or else gazes out to sea through an old fashioned telescope.
Then there is ‘grandmother’. I call her that because I cannot recall her name. In spite of, being a grandmother, she looks remarkably young, not more than forty five. She is on her way to visit a daughter who emigrated to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again and her three grand children whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I do not care for very much, engineer by the name of Barb. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore. He seems to be full of energy; he swims or plays tennis, the best part of the day. I have never in my life met a man with such a loud laugh.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I have found out hardly anything about her. She is extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about her children’s various ailments. She is on her way to join her husband in India.
