Question

L. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
On the bench by his side sat an elderly gentleman, with the expression of a defeated person who
refused to admit his defeat. His clothes were not quite shabby, but they were neither very expensive
nor new. As he got up to go, Gortsby imagined him to be a man in whom no one was particularly
interested either at home or outside. As his figure disappeared slowly into the shadows, his place on
the bench was taken almost immediately by a young man, fairly well-dressed but not more cheerful
than the man who had sat there before. As if to emphasise the fact that he was deeply troubled and
unhappy, the newcomer uttered a curse or two as he threw himself into the seat.
