Question

Exercise-1
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : -
Geeta works in a shop selling gramophone records. One afternoon a middle-aged woman came
in, sat on a stool in front of the counter, and smiled at her brightly.
I want a record, dear,' she began. 'One I heard on the radio this morning.'
'What was the record called?' Geeta asked, without much hope. The woman shook her head.
'I don't remember. I should know it if I heard it, though. Perhaps if you play me a few records,
I shall be able to pick it out.'
I have hundreds of records in stock,' Geeta pointed out. It would take a very long time to play
ila you even a little of each. Could you hum it to me?'
The woman shook her head again. I can't even sing the National Anthem in tune. We should
only get into a complete muddle if I were to start humming.' She looked quite depressed, as if this
reminder of her own lack of musical ability were the last straw. Then suddenly her face brightened.
I've just remembered something,' she said. 'It comes from a play. There's a girl who speaks very
badly, if you see what I mean. But after a time she learns to talk well. Something about what do
you call it? Phonetics.'
This was enough for Geeta. If you ask me, it's from “My Fair Lady",' she said.
‘That's it, dear. If you'd thought of it sooner, we wouldn't have wasted so much time. I suppose
you are new to the job.'​
