Question

Read the following unseen and answer the question:-

The last one of this long procession of silent men and women was a little wizened old man. Even he carried a load of two baskets, slung on a pole on his shoulder, the same load of a folded quilt, a cauldron. But there was only one cauldron. In the other basket it seemed there was a quilt, extremely ragged and patched, but still clean, Although the load was light, it was too much for the old man. It was evident that in usual times he would be beyond the age of work, and was perhaps unaccustomed to such labour in recent years. He had difficulty in breathing as he staggered along, and he strained his eyes to watch those who were ahead of him lest he be left behind, and his old wrinkled face was set in a sort of gasping agony.

Suddenly he could walk no more, He set his burden down with great gentleness and sank upon the ground, his head sunk between his knees, his eyes closed, panting desperately. Starved as he was, a little blood rose in the dark patches on his cheeks. A vendor selling hot noodles set his stall near, and shouted his trade cry, and the light from the stall fell on the old man's dropping figure.

Q.1 How is it assumed that the old man was unaccustomed to such labour ?

Please answer correctly. Otherwise I will report about your answer.
