Read the passage from one of the CUET English sample papers and answer the following questions: 

When I was in my late teens and still undecided about which language I should write in, he told me that the language one is born into, one’s mother tongue, can be the only possible medium of creative expression.

For most of his life, my father, Sripat Rai, had been a Hindi editor and critic. Off and on, he translated writings into English from Hindi. He was fond of saying that a failed writer becomes a critic. The weight of his literary expectations eventually came to rest on me. He seemed happy that I was showing an inclination for writing. ‘‘She will go far,’’ he told my mother after reading the first story I sent him from Melbourne.

My father’s pronouncement on the mother tongue stayed with me when I later started writing fiction in Hindi. Another thing that I barely acknowledged, even to myself, was that I felt ashamed whenever I thought of writing in English. It seemed wrong for a granddaughter of Premchand even to be thinking so. Our family had a particular linguistic pride. I knew that Premchand was famous, but I had not at that time realised the extent of his popularity.

The fact that I was Premchand's granddaughter followed me everywhere. Everyone had a story about their engagement with his fiction — the shopkeeper, the long-time cook in my father’s Delhi house, a tea vendor, etc. The list was long, for there was practically no one who had not read something by him that had moved them.

However, this very ubiquity, the reverence and love that he inspired in people, made him something too large for me to comprehend in the early years of my life. It also led to the strange feeling that I had somehow inhaled his writing without having read him and just by being related to him. The reading happened much later.

3. The author grew up with the expectation that she would take up ______________ . Fill in the blank with the correct option to complete the sentence.

1. Editorship of a magazine
2. Translation of literary pieces
3. Creative writing
4. The job of a critic

Answer: 3) Creative writing

4. When her father said, ‘‘She will go far,’’ he meant that _______________ . Fill in the blank with the correct option to complete the sentence.

1. She will travel widely
2. She will achieve great heights in life
3. She will go too far one of these days
4. She will settle in a far-off place

Answer: 2) She will achieve great heights in life.
