Class 9 Model Activity Task Answer (English)

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :

I was travelling in a bus . It was bitterly cold night ,and even at the far end of the bus the east wind cut like a knife. The bus stopped and the two women and a man got in together and filled the vacant  places. The younger woman carried a little Pekinese dog. The conductor came in and took their fares. Then his eyes rested on the beady eyed dog. I saw trouble coming up. This was the opportunity for which the conductor had been waiting , and he intended to make the most of it. I had marked him as the type who had a general vague grievance against passengers who came and sat in the bus while he shivered at the door. “You must take the dog out”, he said. “I shall certainly do nothing of the kind. You can take my name and address”, said the woman. She had evidently expected the challenge and knew the reply. “You must take the dog out- that’s my order .”I won’t go on the top of the bus in such weather. It would kill me ,”said the woman.
