Question

5.(a) Write a précis of the passage given below:
The commonest form of forgetfulness, I suppose, occurs in the matter
of posting letters. So common is it that I am always reluctant to trust
a departing visitor to post an important letter. So little
do I rely on
his
memory
that I
put him on his oath before handing the letter to
him. As for myself, anyone who asks me to post a letter is a poor
judge of character. Even if I carry the letter in my hand, I then put it
for safety into one of my pockets and forget all about it. After that,
it has an adventurous life till a long chain of circumstances leads to a
number of embarrassing questions being asked, and I am compelled
to produce the evidence of my guilt from my pocket. This, it might
be thought, must be due to a lack of interest in other people's letters;
but that cannot be the explanation, for I forget to post some even of
the few letters that I myself remember to write.
As for leaving articles in trains and taxis, I am not too bad in such
matters. I can remember almost anything except books and walking-
sticks, and I can often remember even books. Walking-sticks I find
it quite impossible to keep. I have an old-fashioned taste for them,
and buy them frequently, but no sooner do I pay a visit to a friend's
house, or go on a journey in a train, than another stick is on its way
into the world of the lost. (280 words)​
