Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
I was a chef in the Taj banquet kitchen when the gunshots started that night. Initially, the news was that it was an
internal gang war in a neighbourhood nearby and that it would die down soon. It was only at about 10.30 or 11 p.m.
that we understood the magnitude of what was going on. We were seven chefs in the kitchen that night, not one of
whom left the Taj despite knowing all exit points. By then the shootout had happened at the Wasabi restaurant and
all those who had survived were pouring into the banquet hall and kitchen where we were working.
As soon as we had heard about the shootout, we had prepared sandwiches for our surviving guests which we then
handed out. After this, we entered the corridor to escort our guests out of the hotel through the back entrance. We
had successfully helped a few guests when I saw the left profile of a terrorist in a red cap, who began shooting. I was
standing next to a refrigerator, when my head chef and his assistant chef both got shot. T here was chaos, panic
and fear as our guests started running everywhere – but by then they had opened fire in all directions.
All of a sudden, everything went quiet and that silence was the worst. I tried looking around for survivors, but it was
just me. I stayed there for a few hours, until I realised that no help would be coming anytime soon. I looked at the
refrigerator where I’d been only a while ago and it had 3 bullet holes in it – I’d narrowly escaped death, but it was
horrifying to see that my guests and colleagues hadn’t been as lucky. I won’t look back on that day as just a terrorist
attack, but a day when many brave individuals looked death in the eye to help others.

I was on a visit to Calcutta. It was Saturday and I was staying for the weekend at my cousin’s. T hat evening my
cousin, who works in a firm, had to fly to Delhi for a meeting. So, his wife drove him to the airport and I accompanied
them. On our way back from the airport we stopped by a lake. My cousin’s wife said, “Let me show you where we
spend some of our evenings.” She locked the car and we began to walk towards the lake. T here was a small bridge to
cross and she led the way. T hree young men were coming from the other end of the bridge. As they approached us,
one of them said to me, “Can I have a match?” As I put my hand into my pocket for the match box, I heard a cry of
alarm. And then I saw what was happening.
One of the other two men had snatched the handbag from my cousin’s wife and passed it on the man next to him.
He in turn passed it to the third man and all three started running back to where they had come from. My cousin’s
wife kept shouting and hurling abuses at them but made no attempt to follow them to retrieve her bag. I wanted to
chase them but she stopped me saying that such rogues could be armed and dangerous. As it was dark, the three
men were soon out of sight. I felt sorry for not being of any help but my cousin’s wife assured me that there was no
money or valuables in the bag. She had just kept a couples of apples and a packet of biscuits in the handbag in case I
felt hungry.

Read the following passage and answer the questions given that follow.
An excavation of ancient Babylon revealed evidence that Babylonians were making soap around 2800 B.C. T his is
the first concrete evidence we have of soap-like substance. T he early soap makers were Babylonians,
Mesopotamians, Egyptians, as well as the ancient Greeks and Romans. All of them made soap by mixing fat, oils
and salts. Soap wasn't made and used for bathing and personal hygiene but was rather produced for cleaning
cooking utensils or goods or was used for medicine purposes. T he early references to soap making were for the use
of soap in cleaning wool and cotton used in textile manufacture and was used medicinally for at least 5000 years.
Soap is a product for cleaning made from natural ingredients that may include both plant and animal products,
including items as: animal fat, such as tallow or vegetable oil, such as castor, olive, or coconut oil. Soap supposedly
got its name from Mount Sapo in Rome. T he word ‘sapo’, Latin for soap, first appeared in Pliny the Elder's Historia
Naturalis. T he first soap was made by Babylonians around 2800 B.C.
Soap making history goes back many thousands years. In the early beginnings of soap making, it was an exclusive
technique used by small groups of soap makers. T he demand for soap was high, but it was very expensive and there
was a monopoly on soap production in many areas. Back then, plant byproducts and animal and vegetable oils were
the main ingredients of soap. T he price of soap was significantly reduced in 1791 when a Frenchman by the name of
LeBlanc discovered a chemical process that allowed soap to be made cheaply and sold for significantly less money.
More than 20 years later, another Frenchman identified relationships between glycerin, fats and acid – what marked
the beginning of modern soap making. With this discovery of another method of making soap, soap became even
less expensive. Since that time, there have been no major discoveries and the same processes are used for the soap
making we use and enjoy today.
Advances came as the science of chemistry developed because more was understood about the ingredients. In the
mid-nineteenth century, soap for bathing became a separate commodity from laundry soap, with milder soaps being
packaged, sold and made available for personal use. Liquid hand soaps were invented in the 1970s and this
invention keeps soaps in the public view.
T oday, there are many different kinds of soaps made for a vast array of purposes. Soap is available for personal,
commercial and industrial use. T here is handmade, homemade and commercially produced soap, there is soap
used to wash clothes, dishes and cars, there is soap used for your pet, soap for your carpet and also soap for your
child.
