Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The heat-wave deepened during the following few days while Jack and I lazed about in the house and yards, wearing ragged shirts and discarded garments, because the more presentable ones were being packed by mother. She was obviously not strong enough to cycle down to Hampshire,where father and Jack had been one weekend, to see and rent a cottage in Ropley, near Alresford. From this prospective journey, Jack had returned with half a dozen photographs taken with a plate camera, which he had made for himself, the aperture being a pinhole. This was only one of his many ingenious artefacts. I had studied the pictures, which included a church that leaned backwards, in the hope of finding that perpetually teasing certainty, which we look for when about to take some adventurous step into the unknown. But, Ropley remained unreal.
