Study the situation given below to answer these questions.

Although he was born in a little village near the coast and had gone to school in the nearest seaside town. Mr. Smith was not a lover of the sea; even when walking along the sands, he was always afraid of being cut off by the tide. He was not a very good swimmer, so perhaps this accounts for it.

After working for some years in London he was transferred to a coast resort, and of course, the family outings were often made to the beach. One day his children pleaded to go out into the bay in a boat. The sun shone brightly, there was little wind and the water was calm. So Mr. Smith hired a boat and with his two children rowed out into the bay. Of course they were tempted to go farther than they had intended, past the protecting cliffs and out to the open sea. At first all went well, but when they decided to turn back they encountered difficulties. A strong breeze had sprung up and the currents here were rather treacherous.

Mr. Smith rowed hard, but it seemed they were making little progress. The children, were waving to attract the attention of the people on the beach. Just then a motor boat appeared from the direction of the bay. Their plight had been noticed and the boat had come to their rescue.

A line was soon attached and they were towed back round the cliff to the shore. Mr. Smith’s dislike of the sea was not diminished by this experience.

Study the situation given below to answer these questions.

Rajesh Kumar, a factory superintendent of the Asia company, takes trips through the factory at different hours and on different days. He likes to talk with the operative employees and ask them questions about their work, the families, the material they are using and the machine being operated. He believes that such conversation makes for better morale and also lets him know what is taking place in the factory.

Every monday morning at the production meeting, he brings up some aspects of information picked up from the previous week’s factory visits and askes for an explanation of it. Usually his production management personnel answers him, but Kumar continues asking about other bits of information he received until his associates are unable to answer or inform him that he has incorrect information. Rajesh, however, insists that the operative employees are telling him the truth and sometimes he points out that the same information is given to him by different employees in different departments. Some of his associates have suggested that they accompany Kumar during his factory tours, but he will have no part of this, stating that more than one management member is with him. He claims the friendly, sincere atmosphere he has achieved with many of the workers in the factory is a definite advantage and helps communication, and he does not want to jeopardise it in any way.

Kumar is not entirely satisfied with his production control manager, Anil Sinha, who just does not seem to comprehend what he is told. Kumar admits the manufacturing work is getting quite complicted, but it irks him when Sinha just stands there and replies ‘yes’, ‘yes’, ‘yes’. Kumar has noticed that Sinha says he understands a request or a suggestion or a change given to him, but then proceeds to go about his work as if nothing had been said to him.

When my wife, son and I were travelling in a rented car through Paris on our way to a cousin’s home in the northern suburbs, I became thoroughly confused by the maze of circular and one way streets.

We were surprised when he removed his tall helmet, opened the back door and slid in beside our son. ‘‘It will be much easier to show you’’, he explained.

Off we went through a series of left and right turns, traffic lights and even a short jaunt up a one-way lane the wrong way. Twenty minutes later we arrived at a main interesection. ‘‘Now you will be all right’’, announced our guide. ‘‘Just turn here, stay on the road for eight or nine kilometers, and you are there’’.
