Answer 1

Answer:

1. They shined shoes, sold fruit, hawked newspapers, conducted tourists round the town, and ran errands.
2. Nicola was the elder brother. He was 13 years old. He was wearing a worn out jersey and cut-off khaki pants. At such a young age, he had shouldered the responsibilities of looking after his family after losing his father in the war.
3. The boys usually make a visit to the country, Poleta, every Sunday. Jacopo asked the narrator to drop them there in his car. Since the driver had the Sunday off, the author himself took them in his car.
4. Lucia was the elder sister of Nicola and Jacopo. She was suffering from tuberculosis of the spine and was in a hospital for treatment
5. The boys didn't spend much on clothes and food because they had to save money to pay the hospital bills of their ailing sister.
