The first casualty came in the form of the suspension of the train halt at Rameswaram station. The newspapers now had to be bundled and thrown out from the moving train’on the Rameswaram Road between Rameswaram and Dhanuskodi. That forced my cousin Samsuddin, who distributed newspapers in Rameswaram, to look for a helping hand to catch the bundles and, as if naturally, I tilled the slot. Samsuddin helped me earn my first wages. Haifa century later, I can still feel the surge of pride in earning my own money for the first time. Questions : (i) What was the first casualty of war ?(ii) Who was Samsuddin ?(iii) What forced Samsuddin ?(iv) Why did the writer feel pride ?(v) Find a word from the passage which means ‘stopping temporarily’.

Explanation:
Samsuddin, Abdul Kalam's cousin, who used to distribute newspapers in Rameshwaram then needed a helping hand to catch the newspapers. So, Kalam joined his brother and helped him catch the papers in return of which Samsuddin paid him a salary which was his first earning.
As the train did not stop at Rameshwaram station, the bundle of the newspapers, Dinamani, was thrown out of the moving train. Kalam would help his cousin collect and distribute these papers.
During the Second World War, when the stoppage of trains was cancelled at Rameshwaram, the newspapers were bundled and thrown out of a moving train. Kalam's cousin, who distributed newspapers, asked him to help in collecting these bundles. This task helped Abdul Kalam earn his first wages.
