Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{purple}{ink}{Answer}}$

• They were men from Hooper’s chemical company. After the fifth week of the accident, some men from his company came to the hospital and told Hooper to take a year off

• Hooper’s company told him to take a year off. They also promised to create a desk job for him at headquarters. A man in a wheelchair with paralysed arm and leg couldn’t do the mobile job of a ‘hard- charging’ zone sales manager. Hence, a desk job was especially created for him at headquarters.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{\color{aqua}{||\:Good\: Evening\:||}}$

(i) ‘They’ refer to the seniors of Hooper who were working for the same chemical company Hooper used to work for.

(ii) Hooper had met with an accident and was critically ill suffering from a subduralhaemorrhage. He remained on the critical list for a month. After five weeks when the men from his office came to visit him, they told him that they would create a desk job for him at headquarters because they knew his left side was completely paralyzed and he would not be able to move around.
