Test IV: General English

Directions’ (Q. 151-165): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below

it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Once upon a time, there was a shrewd shopkeeper called Makarand. He had a friend called Mihir, who

had saved a lot of money. Mihir was keen on going on a pilgrimage, but he did not know where to leave

his precious savings. So he came to Makarand’s shop and said, ‘My friend, I trust you more than anyone.

Could you please look after my life’s saving till I return from my pilgrimage?’ Makarand pretended to be

deep in throught, and then said, ‘ I would rather not. Money spoils relationships. What if something

happens to your money while you are away? You will no longer be my friend.’

As Mihir stood there by his shop thinking about what his friend had just said, an old woman entered the

shop and bought some thing. One of the boys helping Makarand gave her less change than he should

have. Makarand saw this and pretended to the woman. Mihir, not knowing that this was an act put up

by Makarand to make him believe that this was an act put up by Makarand to make him believe that he

was honest, was convinced about his decision and said to Makarand, ‘I have decided I will leave the

money only with you.’ Makarand smiled. ‘then, let us do something. Let us take the bag of coins and

bury it in a place that only you and I will know of. That way, even if something happens to me while you

are away, you will know where your money is.’

Mihir, simple that he was, thought this a good idea and the two went and hid the bag in a secret place.

Mihir left the next day on his piligrimage, happy that his saving were in safe hands. Six months later,

Mihir returned. He dumped his luggage at home and went to dig out his bag of savings. But even though

he searched and searched for his valuables. There was no sign of the bag anywhere. In panic, he ran to

Makarand, who was busy in his shop. When Mihir asked him about the bag, Makarand pretended to be

surprised, ‘But I did not go that way in all these months. Why don’t you search for it again ?’ he said,

putting on his most innocent look. Mihir had no choice but to believe him. He went home.

On the way,as luck would have it, he met the old woman he had seen in Makarand’s shop. Seeing him,

sad, she asked him what the matter was. Mihir told her the whole story. Then, she smiled and

whispered a plan to him. Not long after, the woman came to Makarand’s shop, carrying a big box.’

Brother, I heard you are a good and honest man. My son went on a pilgrimage and have decided to go

and look for him. Will you look after my box of two hundred gold coins while I am away?

Makarand could not believe his luck. He was about to launch into his idea about hiding the box when an

angry Mihir entered the shop, ‘Where is…’ But before he could complete his sentence his sentence,

Makarand, afraid of being accused in front of the old woman, said quickly, ‘ I forgot. I had seen some

pigs digging around there and had removed the bag just to keep it safe. Here it is.’ And he handed Mihir

the bag he had stolen many months ago.

Now, the old woman pretended she was seeing Mihir for the first time, ‘Son, did you also go on a

piligrimage? Could you tell me if you met my son anywhere? His name is Jahangir.’ Mihir, clutching onto

his precious bag, said,’ Yes auntie, I met him on the road a few villages away. He was on his way home.

He should be here in a week.’

The old woman leaned over and took her box away from makarand. ‘Thank you brother. You have saved

me an unnecessary trip. Now, I will need some money to prepare for my son’s welcome,` She added and

the two left the shop. Makarand could only stare at them open-mouthed
