I. Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow
Timber was being floated down this great Indian river from forests
further up, and there were sleepers lying stuck round the stones until
someone came to dislodge them and send them on their way, or until
floods lifted them and jostled them along. The crocodile had no need
to hide himself. He came to rest in the glassy shallows, among logs,
and balanced there on tip-toe on the rippled sand, with only his
raised eyes out of the water, and raised nostrils breathing the clean
sunny air.
