Question

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
We found an island, a small rocky island in the middle of a dry river-bed. We spent the day
planting saplings on the island, then ate our lunch there, in the shelter of a wild plum. My father went
away soon after that tree planning. Three months later, in Kolkata, he died.
I was sent to boarding-school. My grandparents sold the house and left Dehradun. After school,
I went to England. Years passed, my grandparents died and when I returned to India I was the only
member of the family in the country. And now I am in Dehra again, on the road to the river-bed.
The river-bed is dry at this time of the year. A herd of skinny cattle graze on the short brown
grass at the edge of the jungle. The Sal trees have
been thinned out. Could our trees have survived? Will
our island be there? Or, has some flash-flood during a heavy monsoon washed it away completely?
As I look across the dry water-course, my eye is caught by the spectacular red plumes of the
coral blossom, in contrast to the dry, rocky river The little island is a green oasis. I walk across to the
trees and notice that a number of parrots have arrived.
But the trees seem to know me. They whisper among themselves and beckon me nearer. And
looking around, I find that other trees and wild plants and grasses have sprung up under the protection
of the trees we planned. They have multiplied. They are moving. In this small forgotten comer of the
world, my father's dreams are coming true and the trees are moving again.
