Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:I was born in a middle class Tamil family in the island town of Rameshwaram in the erstwhile Madras state. My father, Jainulabdeen, had neither much formal education nor much wealth, in spite of these disadvantages, he possessed great innate wisdom and a firm generosity of spirit. He had an ideal help in my mother, Ashiamma. I do not recall the exact number of people she fed every-day, but I am quite certain that more outsiders ate with us than all the members of our own family put together. I was one of many children – a short boy with rather undistinguished looks, born to tall and handsome parents. We lived in our ancestral house, which was built in the middle of the nineteenth century. My austere father used to avoid all inessential comforts and luxuries. However, all necessities were provided for, in terms of food, medicine or clothes. In fact, I would say mine was a very secure childhood, both materially and emotionally.The narrator was born in a /an
- AMiddle Class Gujarati family
- BLower class Bengali family
