Question

Find the word in the pasaage which means ‘To stop

or prevent someone from doing something.’All the housewives who went to the Kalpatharu

Supermarket in Bangalore had one great

ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay

for her shopping. For this was what

the notice just inside the entrance promise. It said,

“Remember, once a week, one of our

customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!”

For several weeks, Mrs. Batliwala hoped, like many of her

friends, to be the lucky customer.

Unlike her friends she never gave up hope. Her kitchen was

full of things which she did not

need. Her husband failed to dissuade her. She dreamed of

the day when the manager of the

Supermarket would approach her and say: ‘Madam, this is

your lucky day. Everything in your

basket is free.’

One Saturday morning, Mrs. Batliwala finished her shopping

and left the Supermarket. But soon

she discovered that she had forgotten to buy tea. She

rushed back, got the tea and went

towards the Cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager

of the Supermarket come upto her.

“Madam”, he said, holding out his hand, “I want to

congratulate you! You are our lucky

customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”​
