Question

Read the excerpt from “Adventures in a Banyan Tree” and answer the questions that

It was an April afternoon. And the warm breezes of approaching

summer had sent everyone, including Grandfather, indoors. I was feeling drowsy

myself and was wondering if I should go to the pond behind the house for a swim,

when I saw a huge black cobra gliding out of a clump of cactus and making for some

cooler part of the garden. At the same time a mongoose (whom I had often seen)

emerged from the bushes and went straight for the cobra.



In a clearing beneath the tree, in bright sunshine, they came face to face.

Cobra knew only too well that the grey mongoose, three feet long, was a

superb fighter, clever and aggressive...............
