Question

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully:

These days, it is not unusual to see people listening to music or using their electronic gadgets while crossing busy

roads or travelling on public transports, regardless of the risks involved. I have often wondered why they take such

risks: is it because they want to display a sense of independence, or is it that they want to tell the world to stop

bothering them? Or is it that they just want to show how cool they are? Whether it is a workman or an executive,

earphones have become an inseparable part of our lives, sometimes even leading to tragicomic situations.

The other day, an electrician had come to our house to fix something. We told him in detail what needed to be done.

But after he left, I found that the man had done almost nothing. It later turned out that he could not hear our

directions clearly because he had an earphone on. Hundreds of such earphones addicts commute by the Delhi Metro

every day. While one should not envy anyone their moments of privacy or their love for music, the fact is ‘iPod

oblivion’ can sometimes be very dangerous.

Recently, I was travelling with my wife on the Delhi Metro. Since the train was approaching the last station, there

weren’t too many passengers. In our compartment, other than us, there were only two women sitting on the other

side of the aisle. And then suddenly, I spotted a duffel bag. The bomb scare lasted for several minutes. Then

suddenly, a youth emerged from nowhere and picked up the bag. When we tried to stop him, he looked at us,

surprised. Then he took off his earpieces, lifted the bag, and told us that the bag belonged to him and that he was

going to get off at the next station.

We were stunned but recovered in time to ask him where he was all this while. His answer: he was in the

compartment, leaning against the door totally immersed in the music. He had no clue about what was going on

around him. When he got off, earplugs in his hand, we could hear strains of the song.

A. Answer the followings:

(i) Why didn’t the electrician carry out the work properly? (ii) Why were the people in the Metro doubtful about the bag?

(iii) Why were the passengers stunned?

(iv) Explain the term ‘earphone addicts’.
