Q.1. Read the following passage and do the activities:-
When I was a very young man, I was invited to dine at the house of a
philanthropist. After a wonderful dinner, our hostess took us to a large drawing
room. Chairs were being arranged. "I'm arranging the chairs for a concert", my
hostess said," We're going to listen to a very good pianist. “Though everyone else
was very happy, I was not. I did not understand classical music .I thought I was tone-
deaf. I sat down so that I would not be impolite and waited for the concert to begin.
I did not pay attention to the music after it began. After a while, I heard everyone
clapping, so I realized that the piece was over. Just then I heard a gentle, but firm
voice saying, "You're fond of Bach?"
I knew as much about Bach as I did about nuclear physics. I was going to say
something ordinary so that I could get out of the situation. I turned in order to look
at my neighbor and I saw a very famous face. It was someone with a shock of white
hair and a pipe. I knew that I must tell this man the truth. He looked at me as if my
answer was very important. "I do not know anything about Bach", I said, "I have
never heard any of his music." He looked surprised. "You have never heard of
Bach?", he asked .He made it sound as if I had said that I had never taken a bath!
"I'd like to understand music so that I could understand Bach," I said, "but I'm not
able to. I'm tone-deaf." The old man got up. "You will come up with me?" he asked.
I just remained seated. "I'm requesting you to come with me", he said again .So I
went up with him. He took me to a room which had a gramophone in it and asked,
"What kind of music do you like?"
