Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. Anna Pávlovna's drawing room was gradually filling. The highest Petersburg society was assembled there: people differing widely in age and character but alike in the social circle to which they belonged.
Prince Vasili's daughter, the beautiful Hélène, wore a ball dress and her badge as maid of honour. The youthful little Princess Bolkónskaya, known as the most fascinating woman in Petersburg was also there. Vasili's son, Hippolyte, Mortemart, and many others had also come.
To each new arrival, Anna Pávlovna said, "You have not yet seen my aunt," or "You do not know my aunt?" and very gravely conducted him or her to a little old lady, wearing large bows of ribbon in her cap, who had come sailing in from another room as soon as the guests began to arrive; and slowly turning her eyes from the visitor to her aunt, Anna Pávlovna mentioned each one's name and then left them.
Each visitor performed the ceremony of greeting this old aunt whom not one of them knew, not one of them wanted to know, and not one of them cared about; Anna Pávlovna observed these greetings with mournful and solemn interest and silent approval. The aunt spoke to each of them in the same words, about their health and her own.
And each visitor, though politeness prevented his showing impatience, left the old woman with a sense of relief at having performed a vexatious duty and did not return to her the whole evening.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions.
This year, I celebrated twenty-five years with a Seeing Eye dog. When I came to "The Seeing Eye' in 1983, I had no idea how much my canine partner would do for me. I can well remember walking down a country road independently, with a light step and joy in my heart, knowing that Novel, my first Seeing Eye dog, would keep me safe.
Since that glorious beginning, my dogs have seen me through two university degrees while living in four different cities in Canada and the United States. These competent and loving guides have shown me amazing skills, keeping me safe from traffic, fallen trees, new places, and a host of unseen dangers. I have acquired self-confidence and a faith that anything is possible with my dog by my side. Over the years, my dogs have always been a source of pride and pleasure for me, and I brag about them to my family and friends.
Today, the way young Rambo manoeuvres me through the rush-hour traffic is wonderful. But it is all those little things, like finding a table at a restaurant finding empty cubicles at the physical therapy clinic where I work, that can mean so much more. Rambo is my sixth guide, who arrived in June 2008 after Ruskin left me. He has already established himself in my heart. He is guiding me through another chapter in my life. I wish to thank all my friends at 'The Seeing Eye' for the support they have offered me over the years. I also thank them for being like family and, most importantly, for being there to train these furry soul-mates so well!
