Class 12 - English - Evans Tries an O-level Page -85

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Your answer :-

Evans made a clever and infallible plan and escaped from the prison. But  even though he was a shrewd fugitive, he left behind certain important clues  the Governor termed as a "careless act". The most important clue -  a superimposed question paper with directions to the supposed plan of his.

However, it was soon revealed that all of those clues were actually fake and a part of the plan to misguide the officials.

So, while the Governor thought that on the basis of the clues left behind, Evans would go back to the prison, he was wrong. As Evans inspite of being caught in the hotel managed to escape from the clutches of the governor once again when his friends disguised as supposed police officers, helped him escape.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

After a gentle stroll round the centre of Chipping Norton, Evans decided to return to the hotel to sleep early. A smart new hat concealed his closely cropped hair and he kept it on as he walked up to the reception desk of the Golden Lion Hotel. The receptionist was not the same girl who had booked him in. As he collected his key, he asked for an early morning call. Evans unlocked his bedroom door and closed it quietly behind him. He stood frozen as he saw the governor sitting on the narrow bed of his room. As Evans looked around the room the Governor said quietly that it was not worth trying anything. The Governor told Evans that he had got men all round the place including the blonde girl in the reception.
Evans new that he was beaten but gradually he relaxed. Evans said that the correction slip provided him the information about the name of the hotel for him and the exact time the exam started. The Governor told him that he had come to know about the hotel through the words 'Zum Golden Lawmen' or Golden Lion. Index number 313 and the centre number 271 form six figures. And if one takes an Ordnance Survey Map for Oxfordshire, he would find that the six figure references lands him in the middle of Chipping Norton.
