After readingeach passage or pair, choose the best answer to each question based on what is stated orimplied in the passage or passages and in any accompanying graphics (such as a table orgraph).This passage is adapted from Amit Chaudhuri, A Strange andSublime Address. 1991 by Amit Chaudhuri. A ten-year-oldboy named Sandeep travels with his mother, his aunt(Mamima), and his uncle (Chhotomama) to visit family inCalcutta, India.Line510152025Two boys were playing carrom on the steps of asmall, painted shed which had the following wordson its wall in large, black letters: NATIONALASSOCIATION OF SPORTSMEN. A singletable-tennis table inside the shed could be glimpsedthrough the window. The boys interrupted theirgame to give Chhotomama directions to the housein a series of sporadic, enthusiastic gestures. Oh yes,they knew the old couple. And yes, their son anddaughter-in-law had arrived last night with theirfirst child.“Is it a girl or a boy?” asked Mamima, rollingdown the window.“A girl,” said the boy.Mamima rolled up her window before themosquitoes came in. The two boys vanished behindthem. When they reached the house, they found thatthe old man was waiting on the verandah with alantern in his hand. Moths were shuddering roundand round the lantern, though the old man wasoblivious to them. He had come out because he hadheard the throbbing of the engine in the distance.The night had been silent except for the questioningcry of an owl and the continual orchestral sound ofcrickets in the bushes. The throbbing of the enginehad, therefore, travelled through the silence to the.Questions 1-10 are based on the followingpassage.303540455055old man’s listening ear, and to his wife’s ear, evenwhen the car was relatively far away and beyond theirrange of vision. They had pondered over the sound,and finally, he had lit the lantern and shuffled out.“I told her,” he said, referring to his wife. “I told herthat I heard the car, I knew it was the car, I told heryou were coming.”Once they were inside, Mamima gave the pot ofyoghurt and the pot of sweetmeats to the oldlady. “There was no need,” she said. “Oh really,” shesaid. “This is too much,” she insisted, with the air ofone who has just received the Kohinoor diamond asa birthday present. “Come, come, come,” saidChhotomama, with the air of someone who has justgiven the Kohinoor diamond as a birthday present,and refuses to be overawed by his own generosity.“It’s nothing.” It was nothing, of course, onlyGanguram’s sweets and yoghurt, but they fussed andfussed and created the illusion that it was something,something unique and untasted and unencountered.The son and the daughter-in-law emerged shylyfrom the anteroom. They both stooped gently totouch Chhotomama’s feet, and Sandeep’s aunt’s andhis mother’s feet, a traditional greeting and a mark ofobeisance towards one’s elders.“Oh no no no,” said Chhotomama, struggling tokeep the son’s hand away from his feet. “There’s noneed for all this.” This was half a token gesturetowards modesty, and half towards the new,“modern” India—Nehru’s secular India, free of ritualand religion.April QAS 2017Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.2CO NTI N U E

Simple situations were turned intocomplex, dramatic ones; not until then did everyonefeel important and happy. Will they never grow up?thought Sandeep irately. He glanced around him. Asingle blue, fluorescent tube was burning on the wall.It was not a big room. Despite its bareness, theimpression it gave was of austerity rather thanpoverty. It made one remember that poverty meantdisplacement as well as lack, while austerity meantbeing poor in a rooted way, within a tradition andculture of sparseness, which transformed even thelack, the paucity, into a kind of being.1Question-and-Answer Service3As used in lines 37 and 40, “air” most nearly meansA) atmosphere.B) absence.C) demeanor.D) melody.4The characters’ behavior during the gift givingmainly serves toA) emphasize the lavish value of the gift.B) inflate the significance of the gesture.C) convey indifference toward the gift.D) stress the need for polite behavior.5Which choice provides the best evidence for theanswer to the previous question?A) Lines 43-44 (“It was . . . yoghurt”)B) Lines 44-46 (“they . . . unencountered”)C) Lines 52-54 (“Oh no . . . all this”)D) Lines 58-60 (“I have . . . stop me”)6The description of Chhotomama and the son’sinteraction mainly serves toA) show how the characters diverge in theirapproaches to cultural practices.B) emphasize the characters’ complex relationship.C) stress the characters’ misinterpretations ofIndian history.D) depict how the characters created gestures thatbecame routine.April QAS 2017Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.3CO NTI N U E
