Question

The moon was coming up in the east, behind me, and stars were shining in the clear sky above me. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. I was happy to be alone high up above the sleeping countryside. I was flying my old Dakota aeroplane over France back to England. I was dreaming of my holiday and looking forward to being with my family. I looked at my watch: one thirty in the morning. ‘

I should call Paris Control soon,’ I thought. As I looked down past the nose of the aeroplane. I saw the lights of a big city in front of me. I switched on the radio and said, "Paris Control, Dakota DS 088 here. Can you hear me? I’m on my way to England. Over."
The voice from the radio answered me immediately: "DS 088. I can hear you. You ought to turn twelve degrees west now, DS 088. Over."
Questions :
(a) Name the chapter and its author.
(b) Which aeroplane was the pilot flying?
(c) Why was the pilot unhappy?
(d) What did he see in front of him?

Answer 1

Without the title and author, the chapter and its author cannot be identified. The pilot was flying an old Dakota aeroplane and was not described as unhappy, contrary to the information provided. He saw the lights of a big city in front of him, possibly Paris.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage provided is from a narrative text, but without the title and author, we cannot identify the chapter and its author. The aeroplane mentioned is an old Dakota, which the pilot was flying over France back to England. The text does not explicitly mention that the pilot was unhappy; rather, it states he was 'happy to be alone high up above the sleeping countryside.' In front of him, he saw the lights of a big city, presumed to be Paris since he thought about contacting Paris Control.
