Question

5. Read the following passage and answer the questions that
In 1955, with the release of his first feature film, 'Pather Panchali', Satyajit Ray
became an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. His reputation further surged with
the completion of the 'Apu Trilogy' (1959), considered by some critics to be the greatest
cinematic set ever made. By the time of his death in 1992, Ray had made twenty-nine
features and seven documentaries and shorts. Working with simple tools, he fashioned
tales, both visual and literary, that were straightforward in their presentation yet
richly complex in their capacity to suggest multiple meanings and interpretations. He
wrote his own screenplays, handled the camera, and did his own editing work as
well. After 1962, he began scoring music for all his films. Trained ad a graphic artist, he
sketched out each scene before shooting and designed the posters that publicized
his new releases.
Satyajit Ray was born on 2 May 1921 in Kolkata to Sukumar and Suprabha Ray. He was
born into a distinguished family of artists, writers, musicians, scientists, and physicians.
His grandfather, Upendra Kishore, was an innovator, a writer of children's storybooks
(popular to this day), an illustrator, printer, and musician, Ray's father Sukumar, trained 2
