उत्तर
The people became suspicious of the invisible man because of his strange and unusual ways. Everything about him was peculiarly strange. His appearance was glaringly unusual; his face covered with bandages, his goggles that he kept on his eyes all the time gave rise to suspicion in people's mind. Secondly, his behavior was also quite questionable. He remained reclusive and did not encourage people to come near him. His rudeness with Teddy, Fearenside, Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, Dr. Cuss, etc further provoked people to suspect him. Besides, there were many other things such as arrival of thousands of bottles, theft at the Vicarage, etc. also made people suspect the stranger.

I am Mani. I had to take a bus to nearby city. I crossed the road to reach the bus stand. I got the bus, sat down, and read a book. Before I started to read, I just looked at the people around me. The two men sitting next to me were talking loudly. Some were listening to music on their phone. I was unable to focus on reading. The men were talking about cleaning the city. As they were talking, they opened a pack of biscuits to eat. After some time I dozed off. When I opened my eyes, the bus had reached the city. The two men were not there but pieces of the biscuits and wrappers were there. I cleaned the wrappers and put them in the dustbin.
