    Topic: The Midnight Visitor
    Worksheet no. 09/ Session 2023-24/ English

    Q.1 Read the passage given below and choose the most appropriate option:

    (A) Ausable did not fit any description of a secret agent Fowler had ever read. Following him down
    the musty corridor of the gloomy French hotel where Ausable had a room, Fowler felt let down. It
    was a small room, on the sixth and top floor, and scarcely a setting for a romantic adventure.
    Ausable was, for one thing, fat. Very fat. And then there was his accent. Though he spoke French
    and German passably, he had never altogether lost the American accent he had brought to Paris
    from Boston twenty years ago. “You are disappointed,” Ausable said wheezily over his shoulder.

    i “Following him down the musty corridor of the gloomy French hotel where Ausable had a room…”

    1) fit.

    2) compassionate.

    3) apologetic.

    4) suave.

    a) Option 1, 3 & 5

    b) Option 1 & 4
    c) Option 2 ,4 & 5

    d) Option 2 & 3

    iv The reason Fowler was disappointed by Ausable when he met him was because Ausable

    a) lived in a shady French hotel.

    b) was related to the cops.

    c) didn’t have the personality of a spy.

    d) had a very strange accent.

    2. Fowler was elated when he met Ausable.

    3. Ausable was living in France as a spy.

    reference to “The Midnight Visitor”.

    Visitor”.

    iii Max was unprepared for his mission. Discuss with reference to the chapter “The Midnight Visitor”.

    iv “Attack is the secret of defense.” Justify the statement in case of Ausable.

    Q.4. Answer in 100-120 words


    i Ausable’s employer has been asked to write a recommendation letter for Ausable so that he may be
    promoted to a higher rank in the secret services. As his manager, draft the letter detailing his
    personality traits with reference to the instance in the chapter as a prime example of Ausable’s
    genius.
