2. The narrator used 'alone' when he made a request to meet the manager. Why do you
think he did so?
shows his excitement of being at a bank
shows his nervousness towards new environment and people
because he was absentminded
because he had some secret to discuss with the manager



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

The narrator whenever he steps inside the bank feels extremely nervous. Everything about the bank makes him feel jittery. The narrator secretively attempted to open an account. The manager looked alarmed because of the agitated and nervous behaviour. The secrecy with which he was opening his small account made him believe that the narrator was dealing with a private detective. The manager assumes that he is from Pinkerton because of the furious behaviour of the narrator. The manager thought that he was here to alarm him of a planned burglary. The manager's attitude changed when he got to know that the narrator was neither a spy nor a billionaire but was there to open a small account. This tells us about the nature of humans and that people tend to be more respectful and attentive towards the one who is powerful and rich. The narrator made a mistake of going to the manager for opening a small account because he had been living in the village for most parts of his life and wanted to deposit his salary securely. The narrator's furtive behaviour while depositing the amount as well and in the end he withdrew the entire deposited amount from the bank made everyone laugh as he exited the bank. The narrator ever since the incident at the bank kept his money in his trousers pocket and his savings in the sock.
