Explanation:

The point of Ghandi's description of the conditions in the third-class compartment on a train is to get the audience to sympathize with the readers. He over exaggerates slightly to make his point that third-class passengers suffer deplorable conditions. He does not use sarcasm or informal language to make his point. The railway is not really trying to provide any services other than transportation to the third-class passengers and Gandhi's choice to ride in third class is not to engage readers, but rather to make them aware of the conditions.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
