Question

Next, George stepped on the butter. Jerome remained silent but sat on the edge of the

table to watch the action. His silence irritated his friends. They became nervous and

stepped on the things. They kept the things behind them and later, when they wanted

them, they could not find them. They placed the pies on the bottom and kept heavier

things on them which smashed the pies. They upset salt over everything, and as for the butter! I never saw two men do more

with one-and two pence worth of butter in my whole life than they did. After George

had got it off his slipper, they tried to put it in the kettle. It wouldn’t go in, and what

was in wouldn’t come out. They did scrape it out at last, and put it down on a chair, and Harris sat on it, and it stuck to him, and they went looking for it all over the room. Answer the following questions on the basis of above extract:
