Question : Comprehension: Read the following passage and answer the questions. When Hughie came in, Trevor was giving finishing touches to a life-size picture of a beggar man. The beggar himself was standing on a raised platform in a corner of the studio. He was an old man with a wrinkled face and a most piteous expression. He was wearing a coarse cloak, all tears and tatters; his thick boots were patched and he held out his hat for alms. “What an amazing model!” whispered Hughie. “How miserable he looks but for you heartless painters, his face is his fortune.” “Certainly,” replied Trevor. “You don’t want a beggar to look happy, do you?’ After a while, a servant came in to announce that the frame maker wanted to see Trevor. The poor old beggar took advantage of Trevor’s absence and sat down on the wooden bench behind him. He looked so miserable that Hughie could not help pitying him. He searched his pockets but all he found was one pound. He thought the old man needed it more than him, even if it meant Hughie couldn’t afford a taxi for two weeks. He walked across to the beggar and slipped the pound into his hand. The old man looked surprised and smiled faintly. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “thank you very much!’ Then Trevor arrived and Hughie took his leave. A week later they met at a club. Trevor told Hughie that the old model had asked all about him: who he was, where he lived, what his income was and what his plans were. Hughie was uneasy that the beggar would come calling at his place. “Do you think he would care for some old clothes?” Hughie asked Trevor. “My dear boy, that old man you saw in the studio was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe!” said Trevor, smiling. “He is a good friend of mine and buys all my pictures. He asked me to paint him as a beggar. What can I say about the wish of a millionaire?” Question: The expression on the model’s face was that of:
Option 1: misery
Option 2: scorn
Option 3: jealousy
Option 4: happiness
Correct Answer: misery
Solution : The first option is correct.
It is mentioned in the fifth and sixth lines of the passage, that the miserable look on the face of the model is a fortune for the heartless painters. Thus, misery is the correct choice.
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. Anna Pávlovna's drawing room was gradually filling. The highest Petersburg society was assembled there: people differing widely in age and character but alike in the social circle to which they belonged.
Prince Vasili's daughter, the beautiful Hélène, wore a ball dress and her badge as maid of honour. The youthful little Princess Bolkónskaya, known as the most fascinating woman in Petersburg was also there. Vasíli's son, Hippolyte, Mortemart and many others had also come.
To each new arrival Anna Pávlovna said, "You have not yet seen my aunt," or "You do not know my aunt?" and very gravely conducted him or her to a little old lady, wearing large bows of ribbon in her cap, who had come sailing in from another room as soon as the guests began to arrive; and slowly turning her eyes from the visitor to her aunt, Anna Pávlovna mentioned each one's name and then left them.
Each visitor performed the ceremony of greeting this old aunt whom not one of them knew, not one of them wanted to know, and not one of them cared about; Anna Pávlovna observed these greetings with mournful and solemn interest and silent approval. The aunt spoke to each of them in the same words, about their health and her own.
