Question

Explain whether Tim always worked for the subway.(taken by suprise,readworks)

Answer 1

Answer: He did not always work for the subway. He used to work in an office.

Explanation:

In the story Taken by Surprise , written by Edward I. Maxwell , Tim's experience of working in the subway is described.

Tim likes his job in the subway - he loves the tunnels and rails, which, to most people, are disgusting and dirty.

Tim had a different job before - he worked in an office, which the author describes as "cramped":

"He used to have a job  behind a cramped desk, in a cramped office, working with cramped people who couldn’t  imagine much beyond their cubicles."

Tim's colleagues lacked imagination and could not understand why Tim liked being in tunnels.
