Question

Q.1 A) Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1. "Who doesn't know how to cook rice? Cooking rice hardly takes tme."
Said my father. So, I challenged myself. I switched from news to You Tube
and typed," How to cook rice?" I took one and half cup of rice. Since I
didn't have access to a rice cooker, I put the rice in a big pot. Firstly, the
rice has to be washed to get rid of dust and starch. I thought I won't be
able to drain the rice and that it will fall out of the pot. I observed the chef
as I swirled the rice around and used my dexterous hands to drain it, not
once, not twice, but three times. I looked down at th sink and saw less
than 50 gains that made their way out of the pot. Suffice to say, I was up
to the mark.
2. The video stated that the key to perfect rice is equal amounts of rice and
water. I have heard that professionals don't need to measure everything; they
just know what the right amount is. But as this was my first time in the
kitchen, I decided to experiment by not measuring the water needed for
boiling the rice. I wanted the rice to be firm when bitten, just like pasta. I
don't enjoy the texture of mushy rice. It has to have that Chutzpah; it has to
resist my biting power just for a bit before disintegrating.
3. After what seemed like 10 minutes, all the water disappeared. I went in to
give it a good stir. To my surprise, some the rice got stuck to the pot. I tried to
scrape it off but to no avail. At the same time, there was a burning smell
coming from it. I quickly turned the stove off. "What have you done to the
kitchen?" shouted Mother, while coming towards the kitchen. I managed to
ward her off.
4. Finally, when the time came to taste my creation, I was surprised! It wasn't
bad at all. The rice had the desired consistency. Sure, a little more salt
would've been better, but I just added that while eating. The experience was
fairly rewarding and memorable. It taught me a new sense of respect for those
who cook food on a regular basis at home or engage in gourmet creations
professionally.
