Read the passage and answer the question that follow.

Once upon a time there was a priest who was extremely lazy and poor at the same time. He did not want to do any hard work but used to imagine becoming rich one day. He got his food by begging for alms. One morning he got a pot of milk as part of the alms. He was extremely delighted and went home with the pot of milk. He boiled the milk, drank some of it and put the remaining milk in the pot. He added little bit of curd in the pot for converting the milk into curd. He then lied down to sleep.

Soon, he started dreaming while he was asleep. He was dreaming that if he could become rich somehow, all his miseries would be gone. His thoughts now turned towards the pot of milk which he had set to form curd. He continued dreaming; “By morning the pot of milk would set, it would be converted to curd. I would churn the curd and make butter from it. I would heat the butter and make ghee out of it. I will then go to the market and sell that ghee, and make some money. With that money I will buy a hen. The hen will lay eggs which will hatch and there will be many chickens. These chickens will in turn lay hundreds of eggs and I will soon have a poultry farm of my own.” He kept on dreaming.

“I will sell all the hens of my poultry and buy some cows, and open a milk dairy. Everyone in the town will buy milk from me. I will be very rich and soon I shall buy jewels. The king will buy all the jewels from me. I will be so rich that I will be able to marry an exceptionally beautiful girl from a rich family. Soon I will have a handsome son. If he will do any mischief I will be very angry and to teach him a lesson, I will hit him with a big stick.” During this dream, he involuntarily picked up the stick next to his bed and thinking as if he was beating his son, he raised the stick and hit the pot. The pot of milk broke and he woke up from his daydream.

In the given passage, the word ‘alms’ means ___________.

Acharity

Read the following passages and answer the question that follow:
An aging carpenter decided that it was time to retire. He informed his employer of his intention to leave the construction industry and enjoy a more relaxed life with his family. While he would miss the steady income, he felt it was necessary to step away. The employer, saddened by the departure of such a valuable worker, requested a final favour: to build one last house. The carpenter agreed, but it soon became clear that his heart wasn’t in it. He cut corners, opting for subpar materials and careless craftsmanship. It was a disappointing way to conclude his career.
Upon completion, the employer presented the carpenter with the keys to the house, saying, “This is your home, a gift from me.” What a revelation! What a regret! Had he known he was constructing his own home, he would have approached it with far more care. Now, he faced the reality of living in a poorly constructed house. This mirrors our own lives; we build them day by day, often without giving our best effort. Then, we are taken aback when we realize we must inhabit the life we’ve created. If given the chance, many would choose to do things differently. However, the past cannot be changed. You are the architect of your life, and each day you make choices that shape your future. It is advisable to remember that our actions speak louder. The future depends on what we do and how we do today. As someone wisely said, your mindset and decisions today lay the foundation for the “home” you will inhabit tomorrow. So, choose wisely and build with intention!
What was the employer’s reaction upon knowing the carpenter’s retirement?

AThe employer was highly disappointed with him.
BHe wanted the carpenter to construct a house for him.
CTo thank the carpenter for giving his time to the construction company, the employer decided to help the carpenter to start his own business.
DAs a gesture of gratefulness, the employer presented the carpenter a house.


but he had asked the carpenter for a favour,how was he showing a gesture of gratefulness?
