Question

A. Read the passage and answer the questions that
Now you must be content to skip ten or eleven whole years, and only guess at all the
wonderful life that Mowgli led among the wolves, because if it were written out, it
would fill ever so many books.
He grew up with the wolf cubs, though they were grown wolves almost before he was
a child. And Father Wolf taught him his business, and the meaning of things in the
jungle,-every rustle in the grass, every breath of the warm night air, every note of the
owls above his head, every scratch of a bat's claws as it roosted for a while in a tree, and
every splash of every little fish jumping in a pool. These meant just as much to him as
the work of his office means to a business man.
When he was not learning he sat out in the sun and slept, and ate and went to sleep
again. When he felt dirty or hot he swam in the forest pools; and when he wanted
honey Baloo climbed up for it.
Bagheera would often lie out on a branch and call, 'Come along, Little Brother,' and at
first Mowgli would cling on the trees like the sloth, but afterward he would fling himself
through the branches almost as boldly as the gray ape. (...)
What he loved better than anything else was to go with Bagheera into the dark warm
heart of the forest, to sleep all through the drowsy day.
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
