Read the extracts below and answer the questions that follow.

Anil made money by fits and starts. He would borrow one week, lend the next. He kept worrying about his next cheque, but as soon as it arrived he would go out and celebrate. It seems he wrote for magazines — a queer way to make a living!
One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him tuck the money under the mattress.I had been working for Anil for almost a month and, apart from cheating on the shopping, had not done anything in my line of work. I had every opportunity for doing so. Anil had given me a key to the door, and I could come and go as I pleased. He was the most trusting person I had ever met.
And that is why it was so difficult to rob him. It’s easy to rob a greedy man, because he can afford to be robbed; but it’s difficult to rob a careless man — sometimes he doesn’t even notice he’s been robbed and that takes all the pleasure out of the work.

Question. Anil made money by fits and starts. The phrase ‘by fits and starts’ means ‘earning money by ……………….’.
a. tricking others
b. not working on something consistently
c. coaxing others
d. forcing others to do something

Question. The narrator was habitual to spend money:
a. wisely
b. thriftly
c. lavishly
d. carefully

Question.The narrator could not rob Anil because:
a. he did not in all conscience regard as fair to rob him.
b. Anil was too alert to be robbed by others.
c. Anil did not have such things that made the narrator rob him.
d. the narrator had too much affection with Anil.
