Read the following excerpt from 'The Storeyed House' : - The house was complete and the traditional housewarming ceremony was planned. Invitations were sent to relatives in different villages. The village elders, by convention, could not be invited to a meal or refreshments, so they were invited to the ceremonial paan - supari. Bayaji put up a fine pandal in front of the house. His sons worked hard for two full days on the decorations. Relations started arriving. Well known devotional singers, Kadegaonkar Buwa, Parasu Buwa, Kalekar Bapu Master, Jija Buwaand Vithoba of Wadgaon came with their troupes. People looked forward with delight to the forthcoming contest among the various troupes.In the evening four petromax lights were hung in the four corners of the pandal. It lent aunique golden yellow light to the surroundings.Guests were engrossed in conversation. Kondiba Patil was soon there. With him was the thug Bhujaba and four or five seasoned rascals like Vithoba  Ghayakute and Parasu Martanda. These people felt uneasy at the sight of the brand new house, the impressive panda land the crowd of smiling faces.Their eyes roved all over the place. Bayajiled them up the stairs in the kitchen. The first floor looked like a drawing room. The walls were radiant with blue oil-paint. The fresh colour gave out a pleasant smell. Framed pictures of great men like Lord Buddha, Dr. Babasaheb Amebedkar, Karmaveer BhauraoPatil, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and others hungon the walls. The loft-like first floor was filled with a pious and holy ambience. Bayaji spread a rough woollen carpet for Patil and the other high-caste people. Patil sat quietlyon that. His companions, rather uncomfortable,took their positions around him; Bayaji offered them the customary betel leaves. Patil accepted the leaves but immediately gave it back to Bayaji with the remark, 'Yes, it's all very nice!''But why don't you accept the betel leaves?'Bayaji asked nervously. Bhujaba smiled artificially and said, 'It's enough that your offering is honoured; is it also necessary to eat it? We'll make a move now.' With this Kondiba Patil, Bhujaba and his companions rose to leave. Asthey came down, Bhujaba felt as if he were tumbling down the stairs.They eyed one another as if to say, 'This untouchable worm has got a swollen head. He needs proper handling.'

Read the following passage and answer the following questions : - The news that Bayaji was building storeyed house spread like a cry from the rooftops. There was only one storeyed house in the village and that belonged to Kondiba Patil. That Bayaji, an untouchable creature, should think of a rival storeyed house was too much for Kondiba to bear. Others also murmured that the untouchables were forgetting their position.Work on the foundation had started. Dattaram Vadar was given the contract of construction. The foundation trenches were filled with mud, bits of stone and other fillings. Work progressed with speed. One dayBayaji saw Kondiba coming towards him and greeted him. 'It's with your blessings that I have ventured on this storeyed house'.'Baiju, you shouldn't lose your head simply because you've aside some money. Do you aspire to an equal status with us by building this house? The poor should remain content with their cottage, understand?'Kondiba remarked rather sharply. 'No Patil, please don't misunderstand me.' Bayaji was a little dizzy with nervousness. 'How do you say that? One should keep to one's position.You shouldn't let a little money turn your head. ''I only wish to build a shelter for my family. Then I shall be free to breathe mylast'. Bayaji answered. 'Who says you shouldn't have a house? You can have as mall house with three convenient portions,a veranda in the front and at the back and the living section in the middle. Why spend unnecessarily on a storeyed house?' Patil gave his counsel. 'No, but...' Bayaji faltered.
