Questions (1 – 5): Read the following passage carefully.
It was a very quiet friendship that developed over the years. Manikda [as Ray was affectionately called
by his friends] was a shy person and always very discreet about displaying his emotions," said Roberge.
Though to outsiders, Ray's massive stature- physical and intellectual- might have made him come across as
cold, aloof and even intimidating, he was in reality a very simple and unassuming man with a subtle sense of
humour. It was an unspoken arrangement between the two of them to meet on Sundays at 9 a.m. at Ray's
residence on Bishop Lefroy Road, Kolkata. Ray would invite Roberge over for private screenings of his latest
films and welcomed comments on them. But this happened only after the friendship had cemented, for in the
early days of their dialogue Ray's shyness prevented him from talking about his own films.
