There was a din of excited chatter.Looking for a grammar game to teach or revisit synonyms in LKS2? It was a thorough contrast to the preceding three hours. In twos or threes, the boys came out of the hall. He briskly folded the paper and wrote his name. He saw two or three boys giving up their papers and going out, and felt happy. He had looked at the clock again, thinking that it must be nearly five now. He went on improving the little dash under the last line indicating the end, till it became an elaborate complicated pattern. He read a few lines of the first question and was bored. He thought that while he was about it, he might as well do a little revision. He had seen a supervisor observing him and had at once pretended to be busy with the answer paper.

One supervisor was drowsing in his chair another was pacing up and down with an abstracted look in his eyes. The Pea was leaning back in his seat, revising his answers. Mani was still gazing at the rafters, scratching his chin with the pen. Rajam, sitting under the second ventilator, between two fourth class boys, had become a writing-machine. With his left shoulder resting against the wall, Sankar was lost to the world. He would have felt more comfortable if all the boys had given their papers as he had done, twenty minutes before time. Standing in the veranda, he turned back and looked into the hall and felt slightly uneasy. DIRECTIONS: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
