1.	Read the following extract and answer the questions given below :The Jahangir Art Gallery, the State Bank of India building and the canteen close by which offered affordable fare, the amazing street fare, bhelpuri and vadapav.

My friends are lost, some passed away, some moved away, there were many whose names I never found out, though we took the train together, or met in the lift, every day. Like every migrant, I promise myself, someday I will return. I may, perhaps, return sometime, but even so, I know, “that one cannot step into the same river twice.” You seduced me steadily, O Mumbai, with your glamour and bright lights.
