(Q.NO: 1-5) Read the following passage and answer the question that follow.
Some years ago I had the privilege of meeting the world’s oldest man. At least he said he was.

He was an Indian, he was four feet four inches high, he had an alligator-hide complexion and a tendency to swing with his right whenever he was passed from one medico to another. He said he was 167, born the same year as the American constitution. When the name of George Washington was suggested to him, to help him fix his generation, he said he remembered the man well. But he resented coming all the way to New York.
