Question

2.WHAT FAVOUR DID HIS EMPLOYER ASK FROM THE CARPENTER?

Answer 1

Answer:

The carpenter told his employer of his plans to retire from his house building business and live a leisurely life with his family. The employer asked if he could build just one more house as a favour.

Answer 2

The favour that the employer asked the carpenter to grant was that he could build just one more house. The question is from a passage titled 'An Elderly Carpenter'.

Why did the carpenter ask for this favour?

• When the old carpenter was prepared to retire, he told his employer that he intended to give up his job as a home builder and pursue a more leisurely lifestyle with his family.
• Although he would miss the paycheck, he had to retire.
• The boss asked the wonderful worker if he could build just one more house as a favour because he was sorry to see him go.
• The carpenter agreed, but it soon became clear that he was not truly committed to his task.
• He used subpar materials and practised poor workmanship. It was a regrettable way for him to leave his career in this manner.

Therefore, the favour that the employer asked the carpenter to grant was that he could build just one more house. The carpenter informed his employer that he intended to retire from the housing construction industry and have a relaxed life with his family.
