Qe @ Read carefully the passage given below and answer the questions (a), (b) and (c) that follow: There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, or ask for a discount, although price-tags are displayed. There is nothing out of the ordinary to haggle; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices straightway. We know that the prices are slightly higher in some departmental stores than those in Change Alley but we also realise that to upkeep a store like Robinsons is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-conditioned comfort and ease. For all these we pay a little extra. It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslovakian glass butter dish from Robinsons for a little under 10 two dollars, I then proceeded to Change Alley and by sheer accident saw an identical article, of the same make, shape design and size, in one of the shops. Out of curiosity, I enquired for its price, and was taken aback when the man demanded over four dollars for it, “How much can you offer?” he shouted after me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his 15 reply was shockingly rude. I opened my parcel, showed him my purchase and receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop. 3 Remember to i 1S Bee i 6 7a « rT Garp and to delineate character as well as build up the plot to lead to surprise ending. “To Whom It May Concen e td scial testimonial which is often addressed Q.2.

The burnt ground will then be prepared and holes will be made at intervals of about six feet, ready to take root and shoot cuttings of the teak tree, which gives valuable timber. These cuttings grow much faster than seedlings. After every three lines a few rows of other trees are grown to act as a barrier against insect attack. After five years, alternate trees are cut down in alternate rows so that the trees are spaced twelve feet apart. After another five years another thinning take place so that the young saplings are thinned out and both the roots and crown can grow strong and spread. In the next twenty years the trees are thinned twice more, and once again after another twenty years, so that they are finally spaced forty eight feet apart. The trees are first grown close together so as to allow them to grow high and straight, giving a clear, tall trunk, i ae: 7. iat guage.
