Read the following paragraph from "Like the Sun."
The incense sticks burnt low. Sekhar's head throbbed with the medley of sounds that had assailed his ear-drums for a couple of hours now. He felt half stupefied. The headmaster had gone nearly hoarse, when he paused to ask, 'Shall I go on?' Sekhar replied, 'Please don't, sir, I think this will do...' The headmaster looked stunned. His face was beaded with perspiration. Sekhar felt the greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless. Sekhar noticed that the headmaster's wife peeped in from the kitchen, with eager curiosity. The drummer and the violinist put away their burdens with an air of relief. The headmaster removed his spectacles, mopped his brow, and asked, 'Now, come out with your opinion.'
After reading these sentences, the reader can most likely conclude that Sekhar feels (1 point)
suspicious of his headmaster's intentions.
disappointed in his headmaster's singing ability.
regret that he endured his headmaster's singing for so long.
distressed that he must share the truth with the headmaster.

Read the following paragraph from "Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy."
So to enter the town with the honor and glory befitting a loony, I had to start with my clothes. First, I went and had an extra long, bright red topcoat made. I smeared it with mud to make it look old and ripped holes in it left and right. Then I went to the flea market and bought piles of worthless old money and bizarre medals. These I pinned here and there on the coat. Around my waist I bound a thick belt and hung a frying pan to one end on a cord. The frying pan was to be my guitar. I hung things all around my belt: a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, an old electric clock, a women's umbrella, a cast-iron stove lid. Clanging and rattling all over, I boarded a bus. The people on the minibus broke into laughter, so I stood up, and using my frying pan as a guitar, sang all the songs I knew. Laughing and clapping, they were so light-hearted it was indescribable. Some threw oranges for me to eat, others gave me candy, and some money. Not only that, the bus driver not only failed to ask me for fare but invited me to his home: ”Where have you been all this time? Come every day, the food and drinks are on me.”
