Q 1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
1. When I learned that my 71 year old mother was playing scrabble against herself, I knew I had to do something. “Who’s playing?” I asked one day when I saw a half – finished game on the table. “My right hand versus my left.” “Excuse me? “I said. “Well your father doesn’t play and I want to keep my mind sharp.” An admirable pursuit but I questioned whether my mother’s solitary version of Scrabble would achieve that goal. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for a cyber-Scrabble. It had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy a microwave. Nevertheless, we packed our old PC, complete with Scrabble and word processing programmes and delivered it to my parents’ home. Thus, began my mother’s adventure in the worlds of computers.
2. It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching assignment for me. I’ve taught children and adults of all ages but never thought I would be teaching my mother to do anything. Despite the look of horror on her face when she first saw our gift, my mother was eager to get started. She sat mesmerized as the screen lit up and the various icons presented themselves. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little spiral book. I wondered how she’d fare without me. Thereafter, she only spoke on her game on the computer to me. She even forgot to ask her stock question, “What did you have for supper?” It was no longer on the agenda. Instead she talked about RAM, ROM and the CPU- terms spilled effortlessly from her mouth. My mother had acquired a new mother tongue.
3. My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a personal growth spurt. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally overcome his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Then, after a couple of months ago, I heard dad’s gruff voice on the phone. “Why didn’t mum answer?” “She’s on the computer.” My father and I have had more conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the previous 20 years. After a lifetime of being her child, I was finally the one with knowledge to share with my mum. But even now, I realize that she continues to teach me. I am learning that no matter how old you are a willing spirit is capable of anything.

1. What do we know about Mother as an individual when she starts playing Scrabble on her own?
