Answer 1

Answer:

B. a likelihood of exchange of fun and curses

The passage describes how the youngsters in the tea shop would bestir themselves in excitement upon seeing Ghulamu Chacha arrive. They anticipated the ensuing fun and teasing remarks that would occur when Ghulamu Chacha interacted with them (ഗുലാമു ചാച്ച അവരുമായി ഇടപഴകുമ്പോൾ സംഭവിക്കുന്ന തമാശകളും കളിയാക്കലുകളും അവർ മുൻകൂട്ടി കണ്ടു). Therefore, it was the expectation of the exchange of fun and teasing remarks that made the youngsters excited.
