Questions 1-6: Read the following extract from the story, ‘The Toilet’ and answer the questions that follow.

The first time I went to this toilet, I was on my way to the bus stop. Usually, I went to the bus stop outside the OK bazaars where it was well lit. I would wait there, reading or just looking at the passing vehicles. On that day it was raining hard and so I thought I would take shelter in the toilet until the rain stopped. I knocked to see if anyone was inside. There was no reply. I pushed the door open and went in. It was not painted for a few years. The lid of the toilet would be my seat for many mornings after that.
