Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions :

Tom always found Monday mornings to be miserable. Monday began another week’s slow suffering in school. Tom lay thinking. Presently, he wished that he was sick: then he could stay home from school. He investigated his body with the hope of finding some ailment. He thought that he had found symptoms of stomach trouble. He began to grow hopeful. However, the symptoms soon grew feeble and wholly went away. Tom thought further. Suddenly he discovered something. One of his upper front teeth was loose. He felt lucky. He was about to groan when it occurred to him that if Aunt Polly was to know she would surely pull it out and that would hurt. Tom thought he would hold the tooth in reserve for the present. He remembered hearing from a doctor that a certain ailment could lay up a patient for three days and make him lose a finger. He eagerly drew his sore toe from under the sheet and held it up for inspection. He did not know the necessary symptoms. However, it seemed like a good chance. Tom fell to groaning. But his brother Sid slept on. Tom groaned louder. He fancied that he began to feel pain in the toe. No response came from Sid. Tom then started a succession of groans. However, Sid snored on.
