Question

The phrase hung around suggests that Hari Singh continued to _______.

(i)smile
(ii)cook
(iii)appeal
(iv)linger

Answer 1

Answer:

1 smile??????? I guess so

Answer 2

Answer:(iv)linger

Explanation:

I followed casually.  “Hello again,” he said.  I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you,” I said.  “But I can’t pay you.”  I thought that over for a minute. Perhaps I had misjudged my man. I asked, “Can you feed me?”  “Can you cook?”  “I can cook,” I lied again.  “If you can cook, then maybe I can feed you.”  He took me to his room over the Jumna Sweet Shop and told me I could sleep on the balcony. But the meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and told me to be off. But I just hung around, smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn’t help laughing.

The above phrase is from "The Thief’s Story". It clearly indicates that Hari Singh continued to linger.

Hope it helps!
