Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
For fourteen and a half months I lived in my little cell or room in the Dehradun jail, and I began to feel as if I was almost a part of it. I was familiar with every bit of it, I knew every mark and dent on the whitewashed walls and on the uneven floor and the ceiling with its moth-eaten rafters. In the little yards outside I greeted little tufts of grass and odd bits of stone as old friends. I was not alone in my cell, for several colonies of wasp and hornets lived there, and many lizards founds a home behind the rafters, emerging in the evening in search of prey.

  1. Which of the following explains best the sentence in the passage " I was almost a part of it" ?
    1. I was not along in the cell
    2. I was familiar with every bit of the cell
    3. I greeted little tufts of grass like old friends
    4. I felt quite at home in the cell
Correct Option: D

Options (a) does not capture the essence of the phrase. Option (b) is true, but it is not the best explanation. "I was almost apart of it" indicates a sense of cohesiveness or felling at home. So,option (d) is correct.
