Comprehension Passage

Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the corresponding questions:

Grandfather bought Toto from a tonga-driver for the sum of five rupees. The tonga-driver used to keep the little red monkey tied to a feeding-trough, and the monkey looked so out of place there that Grandfather decided he would add the little fellow to his private zoo. Toto was a pretty monkey. His bright eyes sparkled with mischief beneath deep-set eyebrows, and his teeth, which were a pearly white, were very often displayed in a smile that frightened the life out of elderly Anglo-lndian ladies. But his hands looked dried-up as though they had been pickled in the sun for many years. Yet his fingers were quick and wicked; and his tail, while adding to his good looks (Grandfather believed a tail would add to anyone’s good looks), also served as a third hand. He could use it to hang from a branch; and it was capable of scooping up any delicacy that might be out of reach of his hands. Grandmother always fussed when Grandfather brought home some new bird or animal. 

Grandfather got Toto because:

1
he wanted to frighten Anglo-Indian women
2
he wanted to show off his skills
3
he wanted to make him a member of his private zoo
4
he wanted to introduce him to her friends
