COMPREHENSION PASSAGES
Passage 1
(i) Why do you think the photographer did not look at the narrator with enthusiasm?
Answer: The photographer may have lacked enthusiasm because he saw the task as routine
or uninspiring, or he might not have been particularly impressed or interested in the
narrator's appearance, which seems to be a common response of someone with a scientific
and detached demeanor.
(ii) Why did the narrator not feel fit to describe the photographer?
···
Answer: The narrator assumed that the typical appearance and behavior of photographers
are universally known and therefore did not require description.
(iii) What was the narrator's experience with the photographer?
Answer: The narrator's experience with the photographer was disheartening and dismissive,
leaving him feeling undervalued and subjected to an impersonal and critical examination.
(iv) What tells you about the appearance of the photographer?
Answer: The description of the photographer as a "drooping man in a gray suit, with the dim
eye of a natural scientist" conveys an image of someone who is disinterested, possibly tired,
and detached.
(v) How did the narrator spend his time while waiting for the photographer?
···
Answer: The narrator passed the time by reading outdated magazines, which likely
contributed to his feelings of insignificance and neglect.
Passage 2
(i) Who is 'he' here in this extract? Was 'he' at peace with himself?
Answer: 'He' refers to the photographer. He does not appear to be at peace with himself, as
evidenced by his frantic tearing at the cotton sheet and window panes, suggesting a sense of
urgency or dissatisfaction with the lighting conditions.
(ii) What do you think of the studio where the photographer was to take the narrator's
photograph?
···
Answer: The studio seems to be inadequately equipped, lacking proper lighting and
ventilation, which causes the photographer to become frantic for light and air.
(iii) What was the photograph trying to do in his studio?
Answer: The photographer was attempting to improve the lighting in his studio, perhaps to
create better conditions for taking a successful photograph.
(iv) What was the photographer's reaction when he came out of the black cloth on the
camera?
···
Answer: When the photographer emerged from the black cloth of the camera, he was grave
and shook his head, indicating dissatisfaction with the narrator's appearance or the lighting
conditions.
(v) What was thought to be the problem with the face of the narrator?
Answer: The photographer perceived the narrator's face as 'quite wrong' for a photograph,
indicating that it did not meet his standards or the conventional expectations for a portrait.
Passage 3
(i) What was the narrator sure of?

Answer: The narrator was sure that a face could appear more attractive when viewed from a
three-quarters perspective.
···
(ii) "The man had such a human side to him." What does the narrator wish to convey about
the man?
Answer: The narrator wishes to convey that the photographer, despite his professional
detachment, showed a moment of relatability by acknowledging the potential for
improvement in human appearances.
(iii) How are the faces of the human beings made to look better and how much?
Answer: According to the narrator, the faces of human beings are made to look wider and
more expansive when viewed from a three-quarters angle, enhancing their appearance.
···
(iv) What is the tone of the narrator when he says that human faces are made to look better?
Answer: The narrator's tone is one of enthusiasm and relief, pleased with the idea that the
photographer might be able to capture a more flattering image.
(v) Did the photographer himself need some improvement in his face or mind? How do you
know?
Answer: The text suggests that the narrator believed the photographer could also benefit
from being viewed at a more flattering angle, implying that everyone has features that could
be enhanced by a photographer's skill.
Passage 4
(i) Which body features are asked to be improved upon and how?
···
Answer: The photographer asks the narrator to droop his ears more, roll his eyes under the
lids, and adjust the positioning of his hands and face to create a supposedly better
appearance.
(ii) Do you think the narrator is happy and satisfied with the photographer?
Answer: It is unlikely that the narrator is happy or satisfied; he seems to be complying with
the photographer's demands but there is an underlying tension and discomfort.
(iii) Which things other than the ones mentioned later in the context are to be right?
Answer: Other than the features mentioned, the photographer also focuses on the
positioning of the body, the opening of the mouth, and the overall expression to meet his
artistic standards.
···
(iv) Did all these body features of the narrator meet the due approval of the photographer?
How do you know?
Answer: No, the body features did not meet the photographer's approval, as he continuously
gave directions for adjustments, indicating dissatisfaction with the initial presentation.
(v) What does it tell you about the photographer's art?
Answer: It suggests that the photographer's art is meticulous and exacting, with a specific
vision that requires precise manipulation of the subject's features.
Passage 5
(i) Who is the speaker here? Who is he talking to? What is the occasion?
Answer: The speaker is the narrator, he is talking to the photographer during a photo session
where his appearance is being critiqued and altered.
···
(ii) What prompted the speaker to say, “It is not yours, it is mine”?
Answer: The speaker is prompted by the photographer's intrusive adjustments and critique of
his facial features, leading him to assert ownership over his own appearance.
(iii) What is the tone of the speaker?
Answer: The tone of the speaker is emotional and dignified, with a hint of defiance as he
asserts the personal value and acceptance of his own face.

his photograph.

believing it to be a good representation of his skills.
(iii) Both the photographer and the narrator looked at the proof of the photograph in silence.
Why do you think both were silent?
···
Answer: Both were likely silent due to the gravity of the moment, with the photographer
possibly awaiting approval and the narrator absorbing the impact of seeing his altered image.

Answer: The narrator was puzzled and unsure, questioning whether the photograph truly
represented him.

changes in the original photograph?

his natural appearance.
(iv) Would you justify the narrator’s viewpoint or the photographer’s? Why?
Answer: This answer would be subjective, but in the context of the story, one might justify the
narrator's viewpoint for valuing authenticity and self-acceptance over artificial enhancement.
(v) Why does the narrator call the photograph a worthless ‘bauble’?

represents his true appearance or the essence of his character, reducing it to a valueless
object.
