Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow:
I spotted it in a junk shop in Bridport, a roll-top desk. The man said it was early nineteenth century, and oak. I had wanted one, but they were far too expensive. This one was in a bad condition; the roll-top in several pieces, one leg clumsily mended, scorch marks all down one side. It was going for very little money. I thought I could restore it. It would be a risk, a challenge, but I had to have it. I paid the man and brought it back to my workroom at the back of the garage. I began work on it on Christmas Eve.
(a) Who does ‘I’ refer to in the first sentence?
(b) What is a junk shop?
(c) Why does he go there?
(d) Find a word from the passage which means same as ‘awkwardly.’
