Q.1 Read the passage carefully. (5M)
My next pet was a pigeon. He was still very young. He was the most revolting bird to look at, with his
feathers pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down that covers baby
pigeon and makes them look as though they have been peroxiding their hair. Because of his repulsive and
obese appearance, Larry suggested we call him Quasimodo and linking the name without realizing the
implications, I agreed. Owing to his unorthodox upbringing, and the fact that he had no parents to teach him
the facts of life, Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all, and refused to fly. Instead, he
walked everywhere. If he wanted to get onto a table, or a chair he stood below it, ducking his head and
cooking in a rich contralto until someone lifted him up. He was always eager to join us in anything we did,
and would even try to come for walks with us. This, however, we had to stop, for either you carried him on
your shoulder, which was risking an accident to your cloths, or else you let him walk behind. If you let him
walk then you had to slow down your own pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead you would hear
the most frantic and imploring coos and turn around to find Quasimodo running desperately after you, his
chest pouted out with indignation at your cruelty.
On the basis of your reading of the passage, choose the correct option:
1) The narrator describes the pigeon as a ‘revolting bird’ because:
a) it could not fly. b) it had wrinkled skin covered with yellow feathers. c) it was fat.
