Q.1 Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:-
1. Sam was proud of his new bicycle he had got for his birthday. It was black with
yellow stripes on the side. He rode it to school every day. One day when Sam rode
his bike back home from school, he parked it in front of the garage and went inside
to drop off his bag. He wanted to tell his mom that he was going to go to Peter's
house. “Okay,” said his mom. “Just be home by 6 pm.”

2. When he went outside his bicycle was gone. He ran outside to see if he could spot
anyone on the street taking away his bicycle. There was no one around except for
Mrs. Sharma who lived in the opposite house. She was weeding her garden. Sam
went to Mrs. Sharma and asked, “Did you happen to see anyone riding a black
bicycle?” “Yes”, said Mrs. Sharma, “I did see a boy going down our street but I
thought it was you, because he pulled out the bicycle from your driveway”. Sam
went back and told his mom what he found out

3. In the evening when Sam's dad came back home from work, he told Sam that the
boy next door had the same bicycle as his. Sam realized what had happened and
rushed to his house with his father. The boy agreed that he had stolen the bicycle.
He returned Sam's bicycle and apologized for making such a big mistake.
