Q.4 (A) Read the following passage and do the activities.

When I awoke, it seemed to me that I must have slept for some six or eight hours, yet it

had been but one hour only. I felt perfectly refreshed and well. I had shut off nearly all the lights

before falling asleep, and I now found my way to the light dial and moved the hand round until the

room was brightly illuminated. The silence of the place was remarkable; it was almost as if I had

been in an uninhabited house. I opened the door of my room a little way, and was pleased to find a

bundle of clothes awaiting me outside. I brought the bundle in and investigated it. At first sight it

looked as if some mad and malicious tailor had made two pairs of trousers out of a material suitable

for an overcoat. The reason of course was that the suit had been made with a view to the

conformation and habits of the natives of this curious island. They wear two garments only, and

therefore require them to be of considerable thickness, and their arms are of about the same length

as their legs. (The difference in our own case is much less than most people imagine.) I soon put the

two garments on, and found that they fitted me well enough if I rolled back the sleeves to leave my

hands free. I was also provided with a pair of boots similar to those my host wore. They were too

large for me, but could be kept on by a buckle and strap fastening at the ankle. I now made some

examination of the room itself. The walls and ceiling were covered with a hard shiny substance,

which I at first thought to be paint, but afterwards decided to be of the nature of our water-glass.

The usual right-angles between floor and walls and ceiling were in every case softened into a curve,

which I recognised to be an advantage from the point of view of cleanliness. The floor itself was

covered with the same material as the walls and ceiling, but in this case had a minute corrugation all

over it, to prevent slipping. In the middle of the floor was a small grating, about one foot square. As I

inspected this, a fan below it began to whirl rapidly, but without the slightest sound. The room was

getting stranger and stranger, so I decided to wait for someone to enter the room.

(A1) Name the following:

i. The instrument used to illuminate the room.

ii. The narrator found this outside the door of his room​
