Question

Answer the following questions from the passage: -

This is the story of one of the most amazing incidents of my life. It was out of the ordinary, something almost supernatural that happened to me. Let me tell you what happened.

Once, I was in search of a house. That is nothing new. I am always looking for a house. I never get a house or a room that I like. I had found a hundred faults in the place I was staying. But to whom could I complain? I was asked to leave if I disliked the place. But where could I go? So I continued to live there in resentment. Those were the days when it was almost impossible to get a good house for a low rent. And so I wandered about in search of a house. And suddenly, there it was! It was a small single-story house, far from the bustle of the town, near the outskirts. There was an ancient board—‘To Let’. I liked it. Upstairs, there were two rooms and a balcony. And, on the ground floor, four rooms and a bathroom. I was delighted and surprised. Why hadn’t anyone taken the house? I was excited. I paid an advance rent of two months and got the key from the owner. The next day, I shut the door of my new house and locked it. I stepped on to the road and shut the gate. I put the key in my pocket and walked on with a sense of pride. First, I met the postman. When I told him of the house I had occupied, he said with a look of fear, “Ooh Sir… in that house…a violent death had taken place. No one stays there. That’s why the house has remained vacant.” I was taken aback. I asked, “What kind of violent death?” “Isn’t there a well in the yard? Someone jumped into it. Since then, there has been no peace or quiet in that house. At night, the doors would shut with a bang; the taps would start running…” “The ghost will hold you by the throat and throttle you,” added the postman, “Didn’t anyone tell you, Sir?”

Since these terms are unfamiliar to English speakers outside the subcontinent, the word county has sometimes been provided as a gloss, on the basis that a tehsil, like a county, is an administrative unit hierarchically above the local city, town, or village, but subordinate to a larger state or province.
