Read the below passage carefully:

(6)

For three weeks I sailed on the S.S. Roma, an Italian cargo vessel, in a

cabin next to the ship's engine, across the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea,

the Mediterranean, and finally to England. I lived in London, in

Finsbury Park, in a house occupied entirely by penniless Bengali

bachelors like myself, at least a dozen and sometimes more, all

struggling to educate and establish ourselves abroad.

I attended lectures at L.S.E. and worked at the university library to get

by. We lived three or four to a room, shared a single, icy toilet, and

took turns cooking pots of egg curry, which we ate with our hands on

a table covered with newspapers.

In 1969, when I was thirty-six years old, my marriage was arranged.

Around the same time, I was offered a full-time job in America, in the

processing department of a library at M.I.T. The salary was generous

enough to support a wife, and I was honoured to be hired by a worldfamous university, and so I obtained a green card, and prepared to

travel farther still.

By then, I had enough money to go by plane. I flew first to Calcutta,

to attend my wedding, and a week later to Boston, to begin my new

job. As the plane began its descent over Boston Harbor, the pilot

announced the weather and the time, and that President Nixon had declared a national holiday: two American men had landed on the

moon. Several passengers cheered. "God bless America!" one of them

hollered. Across the aisle, I saw a woman praying.
