Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. For the first few days, the two inmates of the small living room hardly conversed. The news reporter’s voice filled up the silence and awkwardness. Sometimes, Annoyed with mausaji’s constant channel hopping, Chulbuli mausi uttered a frustrated “Uff-ho” and left the room. All these years she had hardly spoken to her sister’s husband and had never liked the man. Mausaji too shared similar feelings for his sister-in-law. A working woman was of an alien species that Mausaji could not comprehend. He was a man of few words and had traditional patriarchal values. Lali mausi was his type. It was a strange way that the North Pole and the South Pole came together. One afternoon the heat of Lucknow had made it impossible for Chulbuli mausi to take her beauty nap. Finding nothing purposeful to do, she decided to apply her ‘multani mitti’ face pack. While it dried on her face, she walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Mausaji was absorbed in the debate between a politician, a social service worker and a film actor on the spread of the pandemic. It was a discussion for the namesake. The cacophony and the loud volume of the television set had turned the room into a madhouse. Mausaji never sat on the sofa. His chair was pulled close to the television. Chulbuli mausi made faces from behind for a while and then with a loud “uff-ho” got up suddenly and snatched the remote from mausaji’s hand and lowered the volume. Readers, don’t compare this incident with similar everyday situations in your living room! In the last twelve years that Lali mausi had been married, her husband and sister had spoken to each other barely a couple of times. In the initial years, mausaji had tried a few times to talk to his ‘strange’ sister-in-law but had backed off after cold responses. No one knew why Chulbuli mausi disliked mausaji. Relatives thought that it was the natural jealousy of an older sister who wasn’t married. But the truth was something else! Anyhow, let’s not forget the television remote….Chulbuli mausi had snatched mausaji’s day long companion and sat back on the sofa unperturbed. Mausaji on his part opened his mouth a few times, looked at his sister-in-law’s ‘multani mitti’ covered face and sat down amicably in his chair accepting defeat. In all these years, forget about crossing him in so direct a fashion, no woman had dared open her mouth in front of him. He covertly looked at the remote in the hands of his opponent and then gave up. 1. According to the passage, which of the following options is true?
