Question

Q.1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below.



I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice. Well wishers yet ignorant friends

thrust their opinions into unwilling ears. The majority of them said I could not do without

meat in the cold climate. I would catch consumption. Mr. Z went to England and caught

it on account of his foolhardiness. Other said I might do without flesh but without wine I

could not move. I would be numbed with cold. One went so far as to advise me to take

eight bottles of whisky, for I should want them after leaving Aden. Another wanted me

to smoke, for his friend was obliged to smoke in England. Even medial, men those who

had been to England, told the same tale, But as I wanted to come at any price, I replied

that I would try my best to avoid all these things but if they were found to be absolutely

necessary I did not know what I should do. I may here mention that my aversion to meat

was not as strong then as it is now. I was even betrayed into taking meat about six or

seven times at the period when I allowed my friends to think for me. But in the steamer

my ideas began to change. I thought I should not take meat on any account. My mother

before consenting to my departure extracted a promise from me not to take meat. So I

was bound not to take it, if only for the sake of the promise.
