Question

Read the passage given below.

I entered the second-class compartment and took a corner seat. A few minutes later, a large, noisy family rushed in and spread themselves all over the compartment. The parents arranged and rearranged their belongings on the luggage racks. A suitcase fell on the grandmother’s feet and she shouted at them. The children quarrelled and the baby cried.

Suddenly the whistle blew and with much clanging and groaning the train moved out of the station. It soon gathered speed and rushed on through the night.

My companions opened large tiffin carriers and settled down to their meal. But the baby’s cries became howls and the grandmother hung a sari from the chain on the side wall of the carriage. She put the baby on this cradle and the baby stopped crying almost at once.

At the same time the train came to a stop. There was a great commotion. I looked out of the window and found that a large crowd had gathered outside and everyone was asking who had pulled the chain. Suddenly I saw that the grandmother had hung the cradle on the alarm chain.

On the basis of your understanding answer the following questions briefly.

1 ) Who were the occupants of the second class compartment?

2 ) Why did the grandmother shout?
