Comprehension MCQ (10 marks)

Read the passage carefully. Then choose the correct answer and write its number (A,B,C or D) in the brackets.

I was nicknamed 'dreamer' since childhood days. Oblivious to the happenings, surroundings and people, I lived in my own small world.

'She is very quiet'. that's what my primary school teachers wrote on my report card. Indeed, I never talked in class. I always kept to myself. While my sister and brother played and skipped with other children, I dreamt of being an actress. My time was spent in acting out roles I imagined myself to be in. Sometimes my mother would see me talking to the empty air. She would stop at the door and ask, "Are you alright May?" Feeling sheepish, I would pretend to sing 'lala Iorli mama...'

My brother often laughed at my self-invented songs. "Stop that! It's horrible. Do you know what you're singsing?" he would complain and skip away.
