SSC CHSL Tier-2 English Sectional Mock Test 03

1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. At platform 2 of the small station at Karmali, Ramesh runs a tea stall that opens before the first train and closes after the last. Travellers often leave things behind — an umbrella, a water bottle, a school bag — and Ramesh began keeping them in a wooden box under his counter, with a notebook in which he wrote what had been left and on which train it had arrived. He never charged anyone for collecting a lost item; he only asked them to sign the notebook. One monsoon evening, a woman who had left her mother's medicine pouch on the morning train returned in tears, certain it was gone. Ramesh opened the box, found the pouch exactly where he had placed it, and handed it over with a cup of tea. Word spread, and soon passengers began leaving parcels with him deliberately, asking him to pass them to relatives on later trains. Ramesh refused that work — his box, he said, was for things lost, not for things sent. The railway staff, who had at first teased him for his notebook, now send lost property to his stall themselves. Ramesh still writes every entry by hand, and the notebook, now in its third volume, is the station's unofficial memory.
