SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 3 Aug 2022 - Shift 4 • English • Q5

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Rao kept his important papers stacked in an almirah, which he kept locked, and the key
hidden under a lining paper in another cupboard where he kept his clothes and a few odds
and ends, and the key of this second cupboard also was hidden somewhere, so that no one
could have access to the two cupboards, which contained virtually all the clues to his life.
Occasionally on an afternoon, at his hour of clarity and energy, he’d leave his easy-chair, bolt
the door and open the first cupboard, take out the key under the paper lining, and then open
the other cupboard containing his documents—title-deeds, diaries, papers and a will.
