Read this excerpt from Mukherjee’s memoir and answer the question.

I have found my way to the United States after many transit stops. The unglimpsed phantom Faridpur and the all too real Manhattan have merged as “desh.” I am an American. I am an American writer, in the American mainstream, trying to extend it. This is a vitally important statement for me – I am not an Indian writer, not an expatriate. I am an immigrant; my investment is in the American reality, not the Indian.

It took me ten painful years, from the early seventies to the early eighties, to overthrow the smothering tyranny of nostalgia.

In the above excerpt, Mukherjee’s imagery of “overthrow the smothering tyranny of nostalgia” means what?

Sentimental attachment to her country of birth stifled her ability to express herself as an American writer.
She regrets losing her cultural identity as an Indian.
Immigrants have to learn to forget their past in order to be successful in America.
The United States enabled her to escape the political and artistic oppression she suffered before emigrating.

Summarize in not more than 120 words, describing how Sam became an alcoholic and later kicked the habit.


" I want some more beer ..." Sam turned around and saw a dirty, unshaven drunkard mumbling in coherently as he wobbled aimlessly along the road. Shaking his head, Sam continued his way back home.
Sam did not bother to switch on the lights at home. Everyone must be asleep at this late hour, he thought. He tiptoed into Marie's bedroom and found her sleeping soundly, snugly tucked under her pink comforter. Sam bent over and kissed his beloved five-year-old daughter's forehead. "Thanks, dear. If it was not for you, I would never have turned over a new leaf," Sam whispered in gratitude, recalling the drunken man he saw a while ago.

A year ago, after being retrenched from his computer company, Sam felt dejected and worried about how he was going to provide for his family. The situation worsened when he failed to secure a job after months of intensive searching. Soon, Sam began to indulge in alcoholic drinks to drown his sorrows. His savings which was used to sustain the family expenses during his retrenchment was tremendously depleted by his drinking habits. Soon his wife, Catherine, became the family's sole bread winner.
Catherine's efforts to stop Sam from drinking were futile. Alcohol had transformed the once-gentle family man into a violent beast. Sam began to hit his wife when she refused to give hi money for his drinks. Once Catherine tried hiding his drinking bottles, hoping to stop Sam from drinking. Sam was so agitated when he could not find his bottles that he locked Marie into her bedroom and threatened her into revealing the hiding place. The incident instilled terror in Marie and thereafter, she tried her best to avoid Sam
These traumatic incidents continued until the launch of the "stop Drinking" campaign by the government. Striking and persuasive posters were put up in the public to persuade alcoholics to kick their habit. None of them succeeded in bringing Sam to his senses except one. The poster illustrated an alcoholic man abusing his wife while their terrified daughter cried helplessly. The slogan accompanying the poster was: 'Will Your Children Be Able To Draw A Happy Family Again?'. Sam suddenly recalled a poster entitled 'Happy Family' drawn by Marie for school before he began drinking. As if released from a spell, he realized how irresponsible and abusive he had been. Overcome with guilt, he quit drinking totally.
"Sam, why aren't you going to sleep?" asked a concerned Catherine.
"I'm coming, Catherine," Sam replied with a smile as he headed for his room

Passage
I'm glad we had a chance to conduct final interviews with the two candidates for the Muscle Power Protein Shake sales position. Before we vote, I'd like to share some observations about the first candidate, Tom. Tom seemed a bit modest during the interview, not wanting to speak up about himself. But when he did finally get going, he was overly complimentary about his own accomplishments. In addition, I should add that this is a sales position, so much time will be spent interacting with customers. As far as personal appearance, Tom is quite slender, which could be an issue, given the product he's selling. So, you could say I was underwhelmed by this candidate.
