Answers
Answer:
2) The electrician did not carry out the work as demanded because he had earphones in his ears and was lost to the tunes of music. This prevented him from hearing the instructions given by the author to him and therefore he messed up.
3) The people in the metro were doubtful about the duffel bag because the safety and security authorities, all of them, suggest that passengers or by passers immediately report any unattended luggage for the threat of bombs. It has happened many times in history that an unattended piece of luggage has led to a real bomb threat and caused deaths. The protocols specify that once an unattended bag has been reported, the CISF or some other security force will arrive with full preparations and in the bomb squad gear, even if the chances are high that the bag is a hoax call. Now, because the metro was moving, the forces would not be able to board the train to diffuse the bomb, shall there be one in the duffel bag. That is why the passengers were really doubtful about the bag.
