V. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.

Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer was always getting into trouble. He was the kind of boy who just couldn't resist adventure. Tom lived with his Aunt Polly, his cousin Mary and his half-brother Sid. Everyone knew about his mischief-making. Sid told Aunt Polly about Tom missing school and going swimming. Now, as a punishment for his behaviour, Tom found himself faced with the chore of whitewashing thirty yards of fence on a sunny Saturday afternoon, Tom appeared with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence. All gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. Thirty yards of board fence, nine feet high! Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of unwhitewashed fence and sat down on a tree-box, discouragedJim came skipping out at the gate carrying a pail and singing. Bringing water from the town pump had always been a hateful work in Tom's eyes before, but now it did not strike him so. He remembered that there was company at the pump. Boys and girls were always there waiting their turns, resting, trading playthings, quarrelling, fighting. And he remembered that although the pump was only a hundred and fifty yards off, Jim never got back with a bucket of water before an hour, and even then somebody generally had to go after him. Tom said, "Say, Jim, I'll fetch the water if you'll whitewash some. I'll give you a marble." Jim shook his head fearing Aunt Polly's slipper.
