Dear Christo,
I am so glad that I found time to write to you. I have been wanting to get in touch with you for some time now. How are you? Hope everyone at home is fine.
I was thinking about our time in school together, how we waited to meet each other, how we didn’t finish talking no matter how long we spoke, how we bunked classes together and how we used to do crazy things and escape without getting caught. I miss you and I miss being able to go to school everyday. School was fun when we were together. I bet not much has changed since we left school.
Did you know that our school is co-ed now? Gone are the days when we used to reign the corridors like we were the rulers of the whole campus. I heard from one of our juniors that they are planning an alumni meet next month. I hope both of us can make it and spend some time together like in old times.
Waiting to hear from you.
Love,
Dan

5. Karim makes decisions that affect the children.
Answer:
2. Karim used to make carpets.
3. Karim is older than the other children.
4. Karim is bigger than the other children.
Explanation:
Based on the excerpt, Karim's fingers are described as having grown too much to keep doing the delicate knots of carpets which shows that Karim used to make carpets and the fact that he has grown too much and was now an overseer of other children shows that Karim is older and bigger than the other children.
