Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions given below (Q. No. 96 to 100).
Some years ago, I had the privilege of meeting the world's oldest man. At least, he said he was. And he was so dogmatic about it that the promoters of a cartoon strip that specialised in unbelievable oddities brought the old man to New York from his native Columbia to have him examined by a team of doctors at the Cornell Medical Centre. He was an Indian, he was four feet four inches tall; he had an alligator -hide complexion and a tendency to swing to his right, whenever he passed from one medico to another. He said he was 167, born the same year as the American Constitution. When the name of George Washington was suggested to him to help him fix his generation, he said he remembered the man well. But he resented coming all the way to New York. He wanted to be left alone to go about his business, which at that time was the business of looking for a sixth wife to comfort him in his approaching old age.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions given below (Q. No. 96 to 100).
Some years ago, I had the privilege of meeting the world's oldest man. At least, he said he was. And he was so dogmatic about it that the promoters of a cartoon strip that specialised in unbelievable oddities brought the old man to New York from his native Columbia to have him examined by a team of doctors at the Cornell Medical Centre. He was an Indian, he was four feet four inches tall; he had an alligator -hide complexion and a tendency to swing to his right, whenever he passed from one medico to another. He said he was 167, born the same year as the American Constitution. When the name of George Washington was suggested to him to help him fix his generation, he said he remembered the man well. But he resented coming all the way to New York. He wanted to be left alone to go about his business, which at that time was the business of looking for a sixth wife to comfort him in his approaching old age.
