Questions 5 11 are based on the following text.

The White Butterfl yAn old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the
cemetery of the templeof Sozanji. He was extremely friendly and generally liked by
his neighbours, though most of them considered him a little mad. That was because
he was very old but he did not want to get married.He did not have the desire for
intimate relationship with women.One summer day he became very ill, so ill, in fact,
that he sent for his sister-in-law and her son. They both came and did all they could
to bring comfort during his last hours. While Takahama fell asleep, they watched a
large white butterfl y fl ew into the room and rested on the old mans pillow. The
young man tried to drive it away with a fan; but it came back three times, as if it
was very loath to leave the sufferer.At last Takahamas nephew chased it out into
the garden, through the gate, and into thecemetery beyond, where it lingered over
a womans tomb, and then mysteriously disappeared.On examining the tomb the
young man found the name Akiko written upon it, together with a description
narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb was covered
with moss and must have been erected fi fty years previously, the boy saw that it
was surrounded with fl owers, and that the little water tank had been recently fi
lled.When the young man returned to the house he found that Takahama had
passed away,and he returned to his mother and told her what he had seen in the
cemetery.Akiko? murmured his mother. When your uncle was young he was
betrothed to Akiko.She died shortly before her wedding day. When Akiko left this
world your uncle resolved never to marry, and to live ever near her grave. For all
these years he has remained faithful to his vow, and kept in his heart all the sweet
memories of his one and only love. Every day Takahama went to the cemetery,
whether the air was fragrant with summer breeze or thick with falling snow. Every
day he went to her grave and prayed for her happiness, swept the tomb and set fl
owers there.When Takahama was dying, and he could no longer perform his loving
task, Akiko came for him. That white butterfl y was her sweet and loving soul.
