Q (1 to 5) : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Toto was a good looking monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath deep-set eyebrows, and his teeth, which were pearly white, were often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out out of elderly ladies. But his hands looked dried up as though they had been pickled in the sun for many years. Yet his fingers were quick and wicked; and his tail, while adding to his good looks, also served as a third hand. Grandfather had to leave Dehradun for Saharanpur. As we had not told grandmother that Toto was our new pet, grandfather decided to take him along. A big black canvas bag was provided for Toto. This, with some straw at the bottom, became his new home. When the strings of his bag were tied, there was no escape. His efforts to get out only had the effect of making the bag roll about on the floor or occasionally jump in the air – an exhibition that attached curious crowd of onlookers on the Dehradun Railway Platform.
