Unseen Passage
Class - 7
Mysterious Disappearance

Read the passage given below and answer the questions.

On a quiet afternoon in the small town of Rivertown, a valuable antique necklace went missing
from the local museum. The police were called in to investigate the mysterious disappearance.
Detective Maya, a brilliant sleuth known for her sharp observational skills, was assigned to solve
the case.

As Detective Maya examined the crime scene, she noticed a few key clues. The display case
where the necklace was kept had signs of forced entry, indicating that the thief had used a tool
to break in. She also found a partial fingerprint on the glass, suggesting that the culprit had left
behind crucial evidence.

To gather more information, Detective Maya interviewed the museum staff and visitors who were
present on the day of the theft. One witness recalled seeing a suspicious figure lurking near the
display case before the necklace vanished. Another staff member mentioned overhearing a
conversation about the necklace's value earlier that day.

After careful analysis of the evidence and eyewitness accounts, Detective Maya pieced together
the sequence of events leading up to the theft. She deduced that the culprit was someone
familiar with the museum's layout and security measures, enabling them to execute the crime
swiftly and efficiently.

With her keen intellect and attention to detail, Detective Maya cracked the case wide open.
Through a combination of logic, reasoning, and perseverance, she uncovered the identity of the
thief and recovered the stolen necklace, restoring peace to Rivertown.

Disappearance" for a Class 7 English assignment:
