IV. Read the given paragraph given below and answer the questions that follow.
Punctuality is the soul of a business. It is very compulsory in the prompt performance
of work.

If a man opens his shop later than the certain time, his customers go away to other shops.
So when a trader comes to a railway station only a few minutes before the departure of
the train in which his merchandise is to be booked, he causes much inconvenience not
only to himself, but also to other persons with whom he has to work.

Similarly, if a school boy comes to school late, he misses his lessons for time being and
if he goes on indulging in this habit, he fails in the examination at the end of the year. It
is, therefore, rightly said that most of the failures in the examination of the present day
is due to the want of a habit of punctuality in our boys and girls.
