Read the stories given below and answer the questions that follow. The Second World War broke out in 1939, when I was eight years old. For reasons I have never been able to understand, why a sudden demand for tamarind seeds erupted in the market. I used to collect the seeds and sell them to a provision shop on Mosque Street. A day's collection would fetch me the princely sum of one anna. My brother-in-law, Jallaluddin would tell me stories about the War which I would later attempt to trace in the headlines in Dinamani. Our area, being isolated, was completely unaffected by the War. But soon India was forced to join the Allied Forces and something like a state of emergency was declared. The first casualty came in the form of suspension of the train halt at Rameswaram Station. The newspapers now had to be bundled and thrown out from the moving train on the Rameswaram Road between Rameswaram and Dhanuskodi. That forced my cousin Samsuddin, who distributed newspapers in Rameswaram, to look for a helping hand to catch the bundles and, as if naturally, I filled the slot. Samsuddin helped me earn my first wages. Half a century later, I can still feel the surge of pride in earning my own money for the first time. The sudden demand erupted in the market for: |

But you can continue to gain control of your nerves. The reason? You will gradually begin to realize that your audience is there to hear you succeed, not fail. Think of your own reactions when you are a member of an audience. In the moments before the speaker begins, what goes through your mind? Do you think : Sure hope this is a lousy speaker ! Hope he does a poor job. Hope he is a failure. Of course you do not think of such negative thoughts. Virtually all listeners think just the opposite. We hope that the speaker we are about to hear will be interesting, stimulating and worth telling others about with pride, even making them envious that they missed his speech. Research indicates that empathy or a feeling of mutual support between speaker and listeners, is the surest relief from stage-fright. Once you as the speaker receive that first positive reaction from the audience, you will suddenly feel much more confident and relaxed. When a speaker begins his speech what goes through the listeners mind? |

| C. | He wants the speaker to solely entertain him. |
