Directions:(6-10) Given below is a paragraph that has blank spaces. Corresponding to each blank, five options are given, out of which only one is appropriate. Choose the option that fits most suitably in the given blank making sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

6.Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour _____(6)_____, and the stationmaster came to _____(7)_____. He asked us for our tickets. We showed them to him. He asked us why we tarried. We told him that we were _____(8)_____ for Koregaon and that we were waiting for father or his servant to come, but that neither had turned up and that we did not know how to reach Koregaon.
We were well-dressed children. From our dress or talk no one could make out that we were children of the untouchables. Indeed, the stationmaster was quite sure we were Brahmin children and was extremely touched at the _____(9)_____ in which he found us. As is usual among the Hindus, the stationmaster asked us who we were. Without a moment’s thought I blurted out that we were Mahars. (Mahar is one of the communities which were treated as untouchables in the Bombay Presidency.) He was _____(10)_____. His face underwent a sudden change. We could see that he was overpowered by a strange feeling of repulsion . As soon as he heard my reply, he went away to his room and we stood where we were. Fifteen to twenty minutes elapsed; the sun was almost setting. Our father had not turned up nor had he sent his servant, and now the stationmaster had also left us. We were quite bewildered,
and the joy and happiness, which we felt at the beginning of the journey, gave way to a feeling of extreme sadness.
Ans: 2
The correct way to solve such question is filling the blank with your own word which is according to you is satisfying the grammatical and contextual requirements and then, choosing the option which has a meaning closer to your own word. The hint for the correct word is present in the preceding sentence ‘ Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour_____’. ‘ An hour has passed’ is a sensible statement. Among the given options, the word ‘elapsed’ is the most appropriate word which fills the blank.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.

7.Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour _____(6)_____, and the stationmaster came to _____(7)_____. He asked us for our tickets. We showed them to him. He asked us why we tarried. We told him that we were _____(8)_____ for Koregaon and that we were waiting for father or his servant to come, but that neither had turned up and that we did not know how to reach Koregaon.
We were well-dressed children. From our dress or talk no one could make out that we were children of the untouchables. Indeed, the stationmaster was quite sure we were Brahmin children and was extremely touched at the _____(9)_____ in which he found us. As is usual among the Hindus, the stationmaster asked us who we were. Without a moment’s thought I blurted out that we were Mahars.

Fifteen to twenty minutes elapsed; the sun was almost setting. Our father had not turned up nor had he sent his servant, and now the stationmaster had also left us. We were quite bewildered,
and the joy and happiness, which we felt at the beginning of the journey, gave way to a feeling of extreme sadness.

Ans: 3
The context of the paragraph suggests that persons being referred by ‘we’ were waiting for a long time but no one turned up and then a stationmaster came for something . That something could be determined from the fifth sentence of the first paragraph ‘ He asked us why we tarried’. The stationmaster was asking questions to ‘ we ’. Among the given options, the word ‘ enquire ’ is the most appropriate word which could fill the blank.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

8.Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour _____(6)_____, and the stationmaster came to _____(7)_____. He asked us for our tickets. We showed them to him. He asked us why we tarried.

and the joy and happiness, which we felt at the beginning of the journey, gave way to a feeling of extreme sadness.

Ans: 1
The hint for the blank can be found from the tailing clause of the sentence ‘ that we did not know how to reach Koregaon’. It can be inferred that ‘We’, in the paragraph, were going to Koregaon. Among the given options, the word ‘ bound’ has a meaning closer to the phrase ‘going to’. Hence, the option (a) is the correct answer.

9.Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour _____(6)_____, and the stationmaster came to _____(7)_____. He asked us for our tickets. We showed them to him. He asked us why we tarried.

and the joy and happiness, which we felt at the beginning of the journey, gave way to a feeling of extreme sadness.

Ans: 5
The children were waiting for either their father or their father’s servant to come to the station and pick them up but upon long wait, neither had come. So, the children were in the sorry state. Among the given options, the word ‘ plight ’ is the most appropriate word which could fill the blank. Hence, the option (e) is the correct answer.

10.Long did we wait, but no one turned up. An hour _____(6)_____, and the stationmaster came to _____(7)_____. He asked us for our tickets. We showed them to him. He asked us why we tarried. We told him that we were _____(8)_____ for Koregaon and that we were waiting for father or his servant to come, but that neither had turned up and that we did not know how to reach Koregaon.

We could see that he was overpowered by a strange feeling of repulsion . As soon as he heard my reply, he went away to his room and we stood where we were.

and the joy and happiness, which we felt at the beginning of the journey, gave way to a feeling of extreme sadness.

Ans: 4
From the context of the sentences appeared preceding the blank, it can be deduced that the stationmaster was someone who discriminated based on caste. He was good in his behavior to them when he had the perception that the children were Brahmin. So, he must be shocked upon knowing that the children belonged to a caste which were unfortunately treated as untouchables. Among the given options, the word ‘ stunned ’ is the most appropriate word. Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
