Question 2 :
<b>Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives. </b> <br> The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading books that belong, to us much more than if they are borrowed.

You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, cannot use it familiarly. <br> But your own books belong to you; you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. <br> Books are for use not for show. A good reason for marking favourite pages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly.

By the seventh, I was looking around to check if others were listening. By the tenth, I had glanced at my watch three times, and yawned once.

Talent, on the other hand, consists of "mental endowments or capacities of superior character; marked mental ability".
