Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
I was 18 and broke. Mrs. Link needed help. Apparently, I was the one for the job. I worked for six hours. Mrs. Link showed me how to plant bulbs, what flowers and weeds to pull out and where to haul the dried plants.
I finished off the day by mowing the lawn with a mower that looked like an antique, but worked like brand new. When I had finished, Mrs. Link gave me a cheque for three dollars. The next week I cleaned Mrs. Link?s house. She showed me exactly how to vacuum her antique Persian rug with her antique looking vacuum cleaner.
Some weeks I got to be a chauffeur.
The last gift to Mrs. Link from Mr. Link was a glorious new car. Mrs. Link?s car was 30 years old but still glorious. An year and a half passed since I met Mrs. Link. School work and Church were taking up more of my time, I saw Mrs. Link seldom. On Valentine?s Day, I self-consciously presented Mrs. Link a small bouquet, which she graciously accepted. A couple of months later, I visited Mrs. Link again.
