• Read the following passage carefully and then answer the question that follows by choosing the best option out of the four alternatives. Passage: Another marvel on the far side of the lake was a little farm that felt like a secret inside the busy city. Some of the thin Karnataka labourers even looked away when children came to dig in the soil and eat what they found. However, on this side of the lake, the greatest pleasure for the children was the jamun tree. A few months earlier, Kalu and Sunil had enjoyed a feast sitting in its branches, shaking down a few berries for their friend Mirchi. At that time they discovered the second coolest thing about the jamun tree, namely that there were parrots nesting in it. Since then, some other road boys had been capturing the parrots one by one to sell at the Marol Market, but Sunil convinced Kalu that the birds should be left free. Every morning Sunil listened for the parrots squawking to make sure they had not been abducted during the night. Kalu was an expert in searching the recycling bins inside airline catering compounds. Private waste collectors emptied these large dumpsters regularly, but Kalu had mastered the schedule of the trash trucks. On the night before collection, he would climb over the barbed wire fences and raid the overflowing bins. In time, this routine became known to the local police. He kept getting caught until some constables proposed a different arrangement. Kalu could keep his metal scrap if he agreed to pass on any information he picked up on the road about local drug dealers. Question: According to the passage, what was the greatest pleasure on this side of the lake for the children?
