Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
Once upon a time I went for a week's holiday in the continent with an Indian friend. We both enjoyed ourselves and were sorry when the week was over, but on parting our behavior was absolutely different. He was plunged in despair. He felt that because the holiday was over all happiness was over until the world ended. He could not express his sorrow too much. But in me the Englishman came out strong ! could not see what there was to make a fuss about. It wasn't as if we were parting forever or dying. "Buck up", I said, "do buck up". He refused to buck up and I left him plugged in gloom
