V. COMPREHENSION:

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
She was all of one-and-a-half years old. Two nurses were holding her down while a third was trying to insert a syringe into a vein to get a blood sample. She was crying loudly, but I was crying even louder. We had no option. It was the fifth day and the fever had not broken; it was imperative that we run the test to rule out typhoid. They finally asked me to leave the room, not just because they were embarrassed at a grown-up crying, but because they thought it would be easier and quicker for the child if the mother was not in the room. They got her out within a few minutes. She jumped into my arms and gave a few more loud wails. Fresh tears streamed down my eyes as we made our way out of the wretched pathology lab. Her paediatrician was getting into the building just then. Between sobs I told him how my daughter had flung the syringe and the lab had to have three attendants on her to collect the sample. As I was talking, my voice broke. To my surprise, Dr. Patel handed me his briefcase and stethoscope, took my girl in his arms and went to the store just a few paces away. He bought her a Cadbury bar and my daughter’s face lit up like a million bucks. Gone were the tears, the memory of the syringe, smell of antiseptic, cotton .. everything receded to the background as she un wrapped the big bar with her tiny fingers and dug into it with all her heart. I smiled as the angelic doctor handed me my princess.
Meanings of difficult words:

1. Imperative: absolutely essential
2. Wretched : miserable; unpleasant
3. Pathology lab: where the causes and effects of diseases are studied
4. Receded : moved back gradually
5. Paediatrician: children’s doctor
6. Flung:(past tense of fling) an act of throwing violently

3. Why was the mother asked to leave the room? 2
4. Why does the mother called the pathology lab ‘wretched’? 2
