Q1 / 270 · NDA 2012 (Phase 2) · General Ability

Paragraph: There was a farewell ceremony on her day at school, to which my parents and I were invited. It was a touching ceremony in a solemn kind of way. The City Corporation sent a representative and so did the two main political parties. There were many speeches and my grandmother was garlanded by a girl from every class.
