Question

2. Read the passage given below carefully:
[12 marks]
The very next morning, Bobbie began to watch her opportunity to get Peter's engine mended secretly. And the
opportunity came the very next afternoon.
Mother went by train to the nearest town to do shopping. When she went there, she always went to the post
office. Perhaps, to post her letters to father, for she never gave them to the children
them to the children or Mrs. Viney to post, and
she never went to the village herself. Peter and Phyllis went with her. Bobbie wanted an excuse not to go, but
try as she would, she couldn't think of a good one. And just when she felt that all was lost, her frock caught on
a big nail by the kitchen door and there was a great criss-cross tear all along the front of the skirt. I assure you
that this was really an accident. So, the others pitied her and went without her for there was no time for her
to change because they were rather late already and had to hurry to the station to catch the train.
ley nad gone, Bobbie put on her everyday frock, and went down to the railway. She did not go into
the station, but she went along the line to the end of the platform where the engine is when the down train
is alongside the platform - the place where there are a water tank and a long, limp, leather hose, like an elephant trunk.

questions answer....

(b) Why was Bobbie not keen on going out with her mother?
(c) What incident helped Bobbie skip the trip with her mother?
(d) Where did Bobbie go after her mother left town with Peter and Phyllis?
