SECTION A (READING)

Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
Once upon a time, there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed. There wasn’t much he could do except look out of the window. One day, he saw a strange sight outside the window. It was a penguin eating a sandwich. The penguin squeezed in through the open window and said, “Good afternoon.” The little boy didn’t tell anyone about this because who would have believed him? Even so, more strange characters ended up putting the joy back in his heart, and in his body. Before long, his health has improved so much that he was able to go back to school again. There, he got to talk to his friends and tell them all the strange things he had seen. While he was talking to his best friend, he saw something sticking out of his friend’s school bag. The boy asked his friend what it was,
and he was so insistent that finally, his friend had to show him what was in the bag. There, inside, where all the fancy dress suits that his best friend had been using to try to cheer up the little boy! From that day, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no one felt sad and alone.
