Q: Rewrite the following dialogue, written in direct speech, in a paragraph form. (CSS 2018) BY JWT

Jack: Hello, Swarup! Swatting away as usual. Come out, man; shut up your old books, and come and have a game of tennis.

Swarup: I am sorry I cannot do that, Jack. The examination is drawing near, and I want every hour I can get for study.

Jack: Oh! Hang all examinations! I do not worry about mine. What is the use of them, anyway?

Swarup: Well, you can’t get a degree if you don’t pass the examination; and I have set my heart on being a graduate.

Jack: And pray what good will graduation do you? You may get a clerkship in a government office; but that’s all, and there are hundreds of fellows who have got their degrees, and are nearer getting jobs of any sort.

Swarup: That may be so; but I am not studying so much to pass my examination and obtain my degree, as to store my mind with knowledge and develop my intellectual faculties.

Answer BY JWT
Jack finds Swarup reading books as usual and asks him to come out, shut up his old books, and to come and have a game of tennis. Swarup tells Jack that he is sorry he can’t do that. He further says that the examination is drawing near and he wants every hour he can get for study. Jack curses all examinations and says that he does not worry about his exams. He asks Swarup what, after all, the use of exams is. Swarup replies that one can’t get a degree if one doesn’t pass the examination and that he has set his heart on being a graduate. Jack asks him what good graduation will do him and further tells him that he may, at the most, get a clerkship in a government office and, he adds, there are hundreds of fellows who have got their degrees and are no nearer getting jobs of any sort. Hearing this, Swarup agrees that it may be so but, says he is not studying so much to pass his examination and obtain his degree as to store his mind with knowledge and develop his intellectual faculties.
