Question

1. (a) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Ulhas Mandlik was a power-loom owner in Maharashtra. One evening he and his mother were going back home. It started raining heavily. So they took shelter under a bridge. There was a well nearby. Some labourers were sitting under the roof of the verandah of a house close to the well. Suddenly, Mandlik and his mother heard the screams of labourers. The two got to the well. They were told that a five year old boy named Hariya had fallen in through a side opening, Mandlik knotted together the ropes that he got from the labourers. Mandlik then tied the ropes to his waist. He asked the labourers to lower him into the well. The ropes were actually weak. Mandlik prayed that the weak ropes must not give away. He grabbed the child who was holding a pipe. On reaching the surface he handed the child to his sobbing father. Several organisations honoured Mandlik for his bravery and presence of mind.
