Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

It was a crisp autumn morning when Ravi stepped off the train into the quiet village. The air smelled of earth and woodsmoke, and golden leaves carpeted the path ahead. He had not returned in ten years, yet nothing seemed to have changed the same crooked houses, the same echo of cowbells in the distance. As he walked toward his childhood home, a strange mix of comfort and unease settled in him. The past, he realized, was not something left behind, but something waiting patiently to be acknowledged.

i. Describe the setting of the passage in two or three words.

ii. How long had it been since Ravi last visited the village?

iii. What sights and sounds contribute to the atmosphere of the village?

iv. What emotions does Ravi experience as he returns home?

v. Interpret the last line: "The past... was not something left behind, but something waiting patiently to be acknowledged."
