Section A: Reading
Q.1. Read the given passage and answer the questions:

(PARA-1) There was once a child and he strolled about a good deal, and thought about
number of things. He had a sister, who was a child too, and his constant companion.
These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the beauty of the flowers; at
the height and the blueness of the sky; at the depth of the bright water; at the goodness
and the power of God who made the lovely world.

(PARA- 2) They used to say to one another sometimes: “Supposing all the children
upon earth were to die, would the flowers, and the water and the sky be sorry?” They
believed they would be sorry. “For, “said they, “the buds are the children of the
flowers and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides are the children of
the water, and the smallest bright specks playing at hide and seek in the sky all night,
must be surely be the children of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their
playmates, the children of men, no more.

(PARA-3) There was one clear, shining star that used to come out in the sky before the
rest. It was larger and more beautiful they thought than all the others and every night
they watched for it, standing hand in hand at the window. Whoever saw it first cried
out. “I see the star!” And often they cried out both together, knowing so well when it
would rise and where. So they grew to be such friends with it, that before lying down
in their beds, they always looked out once again, to bid-it good night and when they
were turning round to sleep, they used to say: “God bless the star!”
