Question

Read the following passage and select the appropriate answer from the options given below. [4]
The baker made his musical entry on the scene with the “jhang – jhang” sound of his
specially made bamboo staff. One hand supported the basket on his head and the other banged the bamboo on the ground. He would greet the lady of the house with “Good Morning” and then lace his basket on the vertical bamboo. We kids would be pushed aside with a mild rebuke and the loaves would be delivered to the servant. But we would not give up. We would climb a bench or the parapet and peep into the basket, somehow. I can still recall the typical fragrance of those loaves. Loaves for the elders and the bangles for the children. Then we did not even care to brush our teeth or was our mouths properly. And why should we? Who would take the trouble of plucking the mango – leaf for the toothbrush? And why was it necessary at all? The tiger never brushed his teeth. Hot tea could was and clean up everything so nicely, after all!
