Question

Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money; such was his confidence – but he became angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested. Immediately, Lencho went up to the window to ask for paper and ink. 

i. Why did Lencho get angry on counting the money? 

ii. Why did he ask for paper and ink? 

iii. What is the antonym of ‘denied’?

Answer 1

i. Lencho got angry on counting the money because the money was less than what he had asked for. The envelope contained only seventy pesos. He felt that the employees of the post office had removed the balance amount from the envelope. 

ii. He asked for paper and ink because he wanted to write another letter to God complaining that he had received only seventy pesos and the remaining amount had been removed by the post office employees. 

iii. The antonym of ‘denied’ is agreed.
