(READING COMPREHENSION)

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

Bell rang for the next class. The small break before the next class was enough for the children. They moved around and started chatting. The mandatory five minutes was over and the teacher did not come. The Children started wondering. “Ramya! Do you think Janaki teacher is absent? Ramya looking out of the classroom said, “How do I know?”. A few students were grinning. Everyone knew Ramya loved Janaki teacher who taught them Social Studies.

Suddenly they noticed the teacher carrying bundles of cloth walking towards the class. A few of them dashed to help her. They all liked her as she was fair to everyone and was never partial to one student. The brilliant red and black checked rumals, shawls with black and blue geometric patterns caught the attention of the class as the teacher handed over the material to the eager helpers.

She pinned them neatly on the soft board and the drab class suddenly looked vibrant. “Teacher! What are these fabrics? Why did you bring them?” Children pelted her with questions. She smiled and wrote on the blackboard “Textiles of India- “Ikat” of Andhra Pradesh. No one could spell “Ikat”, someone yelled “Ikat!” and a few children giggled. Janaki teacher said it is pronounced. ‘I’ as in it ‘ka’ as in Kamala and ‘t’ as ‘th’ in both. “Ikat” is an Indonesian term meaning “to bind” or “knot”. The class fell silent. Ramya asked, “Teacher! Are these fabrics from Indonesia?” Teacher shook her head and said, “Children! can anyone remember seeing designs like this?” Raghav said, “Teacher, the pattern on the rumal is similar to the one on my mother’s sari, though the colours are not the same.” Janaki was pleased.
