I) Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below

Sameer was nine years old. He had dark eyes and curly hair. One day, when his
parents were away, the doorbell rang. He peeped through the keyhole and saw a man
with the gas cylinder. Sameer even asked him, “ Tell me, what do you want?” The
stranger replied, “ Open the door. I have come to deliver your LPG cylinder.”

Sameer was about to open the door, when it struck him that the man was not in his
uniform. Gas agencies always provide uniform to their staff. The man knocked
repeatedly. Sameer told him, “ I cannot open the door. Please wait patiently.”

Sameer hurriedly called up his mother. She told him that she had not booked any
cylinder. She instructed him not to speak anymore to the stranger. She further told
him, “Don’t panic. Call up our neighbours and I will reach within fifteen minutes with
your father.” Sameer called up Mrs. Mehta and Mrs. Verma. They assured him that
they would reach him within minutes.

Now Sameer was breathing heavily. The doorbell rang again and again. Sameer wiped
his brow...... then he heard a thud...... Sameer screamed, “ The man is about to break
open the door.” He leaned against the door for support , heard a thud and a creaking
sound. Suddenly there was a lot of noise...... women shouting and men struggling.......
Sameer was shivering with fright and thinking aloud...... “ What if the man is armed?”
At this moment he heard his mother’s voice,” Sameer, open the door.” Sameer
rushed outside and hugged his mother.
