Question

1.
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Gandhi ji used to go to the court neatly dressed. Every day, he needed a fresh, clean
collar to match his shirt. He used his shirt for two days. His washing bill was heavy, and
the washer man was often late in giving back his clothes. Gandhi wanted to cut down his
expenses on washing. One day, he came home with all the things needed to do his own
washing and starching. He also bought a book on washing and read it carefully. Gandhi
taught his wife Kasturba the art of washing. The new hobby was an additional burden
on Gandhi's daily work, but he was not a man to give up. He was determined to cut
down his expenses. He also wanted to be self-reliant. One day, he washed a collar and
starched it. Since he was not used to ironing, he used an iron that was not hot enough,
and he did not press hard enough. He was afraid of burning the collar.
He went to the court wearing the collar. It was over starched and stood stiff. His friends
laughed quietly at this sight. Gandhi was not disturbed and said, "Well, this is my first
attempt at washing, hence this overdose of starch. But it does not matter. At least it
provided you with so much fun!" "But are there no laundries here?" asked one. "No,
the laundry bill is very heavy. It costs almost as much to wash a collar as to buy a new
one, and even then I need the washer man always. I prefer, by far, to wash my things
myself.” Later, he proved to be good at washing. Gandhi was always particular about
his clothes. Even as a small boy, he kept his fine mill dhoti spotlessly white. He washed it
with water from a well, and dried it in the sun, because the sun made clothes bright and
killed germs.
