Question

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

I took off my black coat, white shirt and not-so-white vest and hung them up. I opened the two

windows in the room. It was an outer room with one wall facing the open yard. It had a tiled roof

with long supporting gables that rested on the beam over the wall. There was no ceiling. There

was a regular traffic of rats to and from the beam. I made my bed and pulled it close to the wall. I

lay down but I could not sleep. I got up and went out to the veranda for a little air, but the wind

god seemed to have taken time off.

I went back into the room and sat down on the chair. I opened the box beneath the table and took

out a book, The Materia Medica. I opened it at the table on which stood the lamp and a large

mirror; a small comb lay beside the mirror.
