SSC CHSL Tier-2 English Sectional Mock Test 02

1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. When Meena joined as a conductor on the hill route, she noticed the same thing every evening: passengers waiting at the last stop had nothing to do but stare at the road. The waiting shed had a broken bench, a torn timetable and no light after sunset. Meena began by bringing two old magazines from home and leaving them on the bench. A schoolgirl borrowed one and returned it the next morning with a drawing tucked inside. Encouraged, Meena asked the depot manager for a disused cupboard, painted it green, and filled it with books collected from drivers, shopkeepers and her own family. She wrote on its door: 'Borrow one. Leave one if you can.' Within weeks, the cupboard was never empty. A retired postman began mending torn pages on Sundays. Children waiting for the school bus read aloud to each other, and an elderly farmer who had never finished school learned to read the bus timetable by himself. The depot, once a place people hurried through, became a place where people lingered — and Meena kept a small notebook in which borrowers wrote the name of the book they had taken, so that no story ever went missing for long.
