1 The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year,

over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the "Coach and Horses" more dead than alive, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity! A room and a fire!" He stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. And with that much introduction, that and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn.
What does the term parlour mean in the first paragraph?
A) door
B) kitchen
C) bedroom
D) sitting room

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A parlour is usually a sitting room or a small living room that is located between the entrance and the main part of the house or building. In some instances, a parlour can be larger and serve as a sort of tea room.

Inviting a guest into the parlour was a kind gesture and meant that they were officially a guest in the house.

JANUARY

Delightful display

Snowdrops bow their pure white heads

To the sun's glory.

FEBRUARY

Fresh green buds appear

Indicating spring will soon

Energize us all.

MARCH

Lambs gambol in fields

Frisky with the joys of life

Bleating happily.

APRIL

Bluebells stand so proud

Beneath trees so sparsely dressed

Fresh green leaves unfold.

MAY

Much awaited sound

Echoes heard amid dense trees

Cuckoo has arrived.

JUNE

Parks and gardens burst

With sounds and vibrant colours

Perfect harmony.

JULY

Beaches become full

Of families having fun

In sand and big waves.

AUGUST

Ripe golden harvest

Burning sun in azure skies

Labours rewarded.

SEPTEMBER

Swallows congregate

On telephone wires ready

To migrate down south.

OCTOBER

Red and gold leaves fall,

Crunchy as cornflakes beneath

Feet on a crisp morn.

NOVEMBER

Frosty webs sparkle

In the early morning sun

Brightly bejeweled.

DECEMBER

First few flakes of snow

Dust gardens like icing on

A chocolate cake.
