1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Most people think that the cat is an unintelligent animal, fond of ease, and caring little for anything but mice and milk. But a cat has really more character than most human beings, and gets a great deal more satisfaction out of life. Of all the animal kingdom, the cat has the most many-sided character.
He or she is an athlete, a musician, an acrobat, a Lothario, a grim fighter, a sport of the first water. All day long the cat loafs about the house, takes things easy, sleeps by the fire, and allows himself to be pestered by the attentions of our womenfolk and annoyed by our children. To pass the time away he sometimes watches a mouse-hole for an hour or two just to keep himself from dying of ennui; and people get the idea that this sort of thing is all that life holds for the cat. But watch him as the shades of evening fall, and you see the cat as he really is.

Kolkata: Police arrested two NRS Medical College and Hospital nursing students for the brutal killing of 16 puppies on the campus on Sunday, with investigators concluding it was a planned murder. At least three others were also directly involved in the crime. Cops arrested first-year nursing student moutusi Mondal and Soma burman, a year senior to Mondal, after several rounds of questioning. Mondal is a resident of Bankura's Karakberia and burman's family stays in kakdwip. We have arrested the two students on the basis of the 28 seconds widely circulated video and after their identification by two security guards. The cops have also seized the stick with which the puppies were clubbed to death. They lured the puppies from different corners of the hostel premises with biscuits and all exits were blocked as the two women went about their job for close to an hour. 55 students, staffers questioned before arrests.
