নিম্নে প্রদত্ত গদ্যাংশটি পড়ুন এবং সংশ্লিষ্ট প্রশ্নগুলির সঠিক উত্তর নির্বাচন করুন।

শেষ শীতের সকাল । দীপু বাগানে গিয়ে দেখল, সেখানে গাছগাছালির মধ্যে সবুজের মেলায় কত বিচিত্র বর্ণের ফুল। আর ফুলের
বনে রঙ-বেরঙের কত প্রজাপতির আনাগোনা। কী সুন্দর এই প্রজাপতি! নানা রকম নক্সা-আঁকা চিত্র-বিচিত্র পাখা নেড়ে নেড়ে ফুলের
বনে ফুরফুর করে উড়ে বেড়াচ্ছে। হঠাৎ কোনটা ফুলের বুকে আলগোছে বসে পড়ে। ফুলটা চমকে দুলে ওঠে। প্রজাপতি মধু লুটে ডানা
মেলে উড়ে যায়। আবার, আর এক ফুলে গিয়ে বসে।

দীপু লক্ষ্য করল, প্রজাপতি যখন কোথাও বসে, তখন ডানাগুলো মুড়ে পিঠের ওপর খাড়াভাবে তুলে দেয়, নৌকার পালের
মতো করে । এ সময় ডানার নিচের দিকটা দেখা যায় । দীপু অবাক হয়ে দেখল, ডানার নিচের দিকটায় কিন্তু এতো রঙের বাহার নেই। এর
কারণ কী? দীপুর হঠাৎ মনে পড়ল, সে বইয়ে পড়েছে, বসে থাকা প্রজাপতির মুড়ে রাখা ডানার নক্সা ও রং প্রায়ই এমন হয় যে, সে
অনায়াসে গাছের পাতা বা ফুলের সঙ্গে একেবারে মিশে থাকতে পারে। এজন্য উড়তে উড়তে হঠাৎ কোথাও বসে পড়লে, তার শত্রু-
পাখিরা তাকে আর দেখতে পায় না। তাইতো সে বেঁচে থাকার সুযোগ পায় ।

দীপু খানিকক্ষণ ছুটোছুটি করে একটা প্রজাপতি ধরে ফেললো। প্রজাপতির পাখনা থেকে গুঁড়ো গুঁড়ো রং উঠে গিয়ে তার
আঙুলে লেগে গেল। সে বুঝল, এগুলো প্রজাপতির ডানার আঁশ। এই আঁশগুলো রঙিন, আর এগুলোর জন্যই প্রজাপতির ডানার এতো
বাহার।

প্রজাপতিটা হাতে নিয়ে দীপু তার দেহের বিভিন্ন অংশ বেশ ভালো করে লক্ষ্য করতে লাগল । এরই নাম পর্যবেক্ষণ। সে দেখল,
একটা ছোট গোল মাথা, একটা মাঝারি আকারের বুক, আর একটা সরু লম্বা পেট— এই তিনটি অংশ দিয়ে প্রজাপতির দেহটা তৈরি।
মাথা থেকে দুটো লম্বা শুঙ্গ বা শুঁয়ো (অ্যানটেনা) বেরিয়েছে। শুঙ্গের ডগা একটু মোটা। প্রজাপতি যে ফুল থেকে মধু খায়, সেই ফুলে
এই শুঙ্গ ঠেকিয়ে, কি ফুল, কেমন তার মধু, এইসব সে বুঝতে পারে। শুঙ্গের ঠিক গোড়াতেই দুটো বেশ বড়ো বড়ো চোখ (পুঞ্জাক্ষি
অর্থাৎ অনেকগুলো ছোট ছোট চোখের সমষ্টি)।

প্রজাপতির মুখটা বড়ো অদ্ভুত। তার চোয়ালগুলো জুড়ে গিয়ে একটা বেশ বড়ো শোষক-নল তৈরি হয়েছে। এই নলটা কিন্তু
গুটানো থাকে। খাবার সময়, সে নলটা সোজা করে ফুলের মধ্যে ঢুকিয়ে দেয়, এবং বেশ আরাম করে ফুলের মধু চুষে খায়। এ জন্যই
প্রজাপতি ফুলের মধু ছাড়া আর কিছুই খেতে পারে না। প্রজাপতি ফুলে ফুলে উড়ে উড়ে মধু খায়, আর সেই সুযোগে ফুলের পরাগ-
সংযোগে সহায়তা করে। প্রজাপতি আমাদের অনেক উপকার করে। তবে শুঁয়াপোকা অবস্থায়, এরা ফসলের প্রভূত ক্ষতিসাধন করে।
সেজন্য এরা আমাদের অনিষ্টকারী পতঙ্গ বলে গণ্য হয়।

আর কদিন এ পরবাস কত হাজার মাইল দূরে
পকেটে রাখা চিরুনি থেকে কার চুলের গন্ধ পাই
আমাকে আর বনের বাঘ খায় না তেমন
মনের বাঘ কুকরে খায়।
দু'মাস মানে অনেকদিন, অনেক রাত, জোয়ারভাটা
অনেক পাতা ঝরা
এত খাবার, কিন্তু জিভে আহার নেই, তৃষ্ণা নেই গলায়
আমার চাই আমার ঘর, চাই না সসাগরা
দু'মাস হলো তোমার স্নানের গন্ধ নেই
দু'মাস আমি দেখিনি তোমার খোলা কোমর গঙ্গা
দারুণ গাড়ি, দারুণ বাড়ি, দারুণ সব মেয়ে
তার ভেতরে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ি, রাত্রে ফেরে সংজ্ঞা
দু'মাস হলো আমি তোমার নুন খাইনি
সহ্য করা কঠিন এ পরবাস
আমাকে তুমি ফিরিয়ে নাও, যেমন করে পুজোয় ফেরে
ঢাকির সঙ্গে বালক, আর মাঠের ধারে কাশ।
আমাকে তুমি ফিরিয়ে নাও, আর ডো-নাট নয়
আমি অনেক দোষ করেছি, প্রেমিক ঘুণধরা

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :

A couple of days later, there was a music recital in the Bharatendu Auditorium, one of the two
largest auditoriums in town. One of the performers was Ustad Majeed Khan.

Lata and Malati both managed to get tickets. So did Hema, a tall, thin and high-spirited friend of
theirs who lived with innumerable cousins–boys and girls–in a house not far from Nabiganj. They were
all under the care of a strict elder member of the family who was referred to by everyone as Tauji.
Hema’s Tauji had quite a job on his hands, as he was not only responsible for the well-being and
reputation of the girls of the family but also had to make sure that the boys did not get into the countless kinds of mischief that boys are prone to. He had often cursed his luck that he was the sole representative in a university town of a large and far-flung family. He had on occasions threatened to send everyone straight back home when they had caused him more trouble than he could bear. But his wife, Taiji to everyone, thought she herself had been brought up with almost no liberty or latitude, felt it was a great pity that her nieces and grandnieces should be similarly constrained. She managed to obtain for the girls what they could not obtain by a more direct approach.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :

I designed, after my first voyage, to spend the rest of my days at Baghdad, but it was not long ere
I grew weary of an indolent life and I put to sea a second time with merchants of known probity. We
embarked on board of a good ship and set sail. One day we landed on an island covered with several
sorts of fruit trees, but we could see neither man nor animal. While some diverted themselves with
gathering flowers, and other fruits, I took my wine and provisions and sat down near a stream betwixt
two high trees, which afforded a delightful shade. I made a good meal and afterwards fell asleep. When I woke up, the ship was no longer in view.

In this sad condition, I was ready to die with grief. When I gazed towards the sea, I could discern
nothing but sky and water, but looking over the land I beheld something white, and coming down, I
took what provision I had left and went towards the object which was so distant that at first could not
distinguish what it was.

As I approached, I thought it to be a white dome of a prodigious height and extent. I drew near to
it, and walked round it and found no door to it. I found that I had not strength nor activity to climb it on
account of its exceeding smoothness. I went round the dome measuring its circumference. I meditated upon some means of gaining an entrance into it but no means of accomplishing this occurred to me.

By this time the sun was about to set, and all of a sudden the sky became as dark as if it had been
covered with a thick cloud. I was much astonished at this sudden darkness but much more when I
found it occasioned by a bird of a most extraordinary size that came flying towards me. I remembered
that I had often heard mariners speak of a miraculous bird called the roc, and conceived that the great
dome which I so much admired must be her egg. Shortly afterwards the bird alighted and sat over the
egg.
