Q1. Read the passage and answer the following questions. ( /10)

Once upon a time, there was a boy who used to get very angry and hurt others. His dad wanted to teach him a lesson, so he
made a plan. He asked the boy to hammer a nail into the fence in their backyard every time he got angry. The boy tried to
control his anger and started hammering nails into the fence. At first, he hammered many nails, but as days passed, the
number of nails decreased. Finally, there came a day when he didn’t have to hammer any nails. His dad then asked him to
remove all the nails he had hammered. The boy took out all the nails, but he noticed that the fence was full of holes, which
looked rough and ugly. His dad explained that anger can hurt people like the holes in the fence, and even if we say sorry,
the hurt doesn’t completely go away. The boy felt sorry for his behavior and promised to control his anger from that day
forward.
