Question 2 options:
My easy, quiet manner made the policemen believe my story. So they sat talking with me in a friendly way.
I led them finally into the old man’s bedroom. As if playing a game with them I asked them to sit down and talk for a while.
No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could bear, from their smiles, and from that sound.
As I finished this work I heard that someone was at the door. It was now four o’clock in the morning, but still dark. I had no fear, however, as I went down to open the door.

Question 4 options:
During all of that week I was as friendly to the old man as I could be, and warm, and loving.
And every morning I went to his room, and with a warm, friendly voice I asked him how he had slept. He could not guess that every night, just at twelve, I looked in at him as he slept.
There was no reason for what I did. I did not hate the old man; I even loved him. He had never hurt me.
But it was more than anger. In the quiet night, in the dark silence of the bedroom my anger became fear — for the heart was beating so loudly that I was sure someone must hear.

Which incident most helps to develop the theme of 'reality of the world can be different from individual perception'?
Question 5 options:
The time had come! I rushed into the room, crying, “Die! Die!” The old man gave a loud cry of fear as I fell upon him and held the bedcovers tightly over his head.
Have I not told you that my hearing had become unusually strong? Now I could hear a quick, low, soft sound, like the sound of a clock heard through a wall.
Then I heard a sound, a low cry of fear which escaped from the old man. Now I knew that he was sitting up in his bed, filled with fear; I knew that he knew that I was there.
Slowly, little by little, I lifted the cloth, until a small, small light
escaped from under it to fall upon — to fall upon that vulture eye!
It was open — wide, wide open, and my anger increased as it looked
straight at me.
