Read the following passage and answer questions 26-38
When travelling, we meet very many types of passengers. Their actions at times makes the journey very interesting but at times, interacting with some types may make your journey to be so boring and long. But then we have to travel to different destinations. If you never like to meet these passengers, my advice to you, use your own private means of transport.
One type that I have met is the talking or parrot passenger. This passenger gets into the bus, takes only ten minutes and people who are keen enough shall have known everything about him. He tells people where he is heading to, what he is going to do, what he is carrying in his bag, what he took for supper e.t.c. I have no problem with this passenger. After all, he doesn't interfere with other travellers in any way.
The next type is the eating or hyena passenger. The hyena passenger eats. In his/her bag, there is some food staff, call it chapati, termites, roasted maize. Any time the bus stops at a bus station, the eating passenger will even buy more food to eat. What pisses me off mostly is that sometimes they want you to share their food. The worst part of it, when they start experiencing stomach problems and force the driver to stop the bus for them to get out. Oh! That bad air that they leave behind! One time I travelled with one. He was my bus neighbour. At the first stop, he bought bananas and swallowed them. Next he bought boiled eggs, he followed it with roasted maize. At another stage, he swallowed ripe oranges and summarized it with hot tea. I experienced a long day with this man. I had to change my sitting position.
Another type is the sleeping passenger. I think this is the type of passenger I hate most especially if she or he is my neighbour. I don't like people who bother me when I travel. I just need peace. But the sleeping passenger will be your guest whether you like it or not. Turning you into a pillow! I hate it. Let them start snoring, you'll never have peace in you journey especially if your were travelling in the night. The sleeping passengers are also very stubborn.
Have you ever met a quarrelling passenger. The passenger quarrels everybody in the bus. You look her direction, she picks a quarrel with you. This passenger really provokes others. Can even ask you, "Why are you so quiet?" From there a quarrel starts.
Now, meet my best friend in a journey, the quiet passenger. As silent as a grave. You'll never hear his or her voice, will be quiet in the whole journey. This is the best passenger who never bothers others. He'll just give the conductor money then remain silent.
I have never boarded a plane. I wonder if these categories of passengers can be found among those who travel by air. They are very common in road and rail transport especially in public vehicles. Some are common in voyages.

26. How many types of passengers have been mentioned in the passage?
    1. 5
    2. 4
    3. 6
    4. 7
27. Who is the parrot passenger?
    1. The eating passenger.
    2. The quarreling passenger. 
    3. The talking passenger. 
    4. The silent passenger.
28. What is the best advice given to those who don't want to meet such funny passengers?
    1. Ignore them as you travel. 
    2. Travel by air. 
    3. Never travel.
    4. Use a private means of transport. 
29. The eating passenger can also be described as 
    1. glutton.
    2. brave. 
    3. courageous. 
    4. kind.
30. What pisses the writer off mostly?
    1. When the eating passenger starts to have stomach problems. 
    2. When the eating passenger wants to share his food. 
    3. When the eating passenger eats a lot of food.
    4. When the eating passenger stops the bus. 
31. The talking passenger talks a lot. Which one of the following does he not tell people according to the passage? 
    1. His level of education. 
    2. Where he is heading to. 
    3. What he is going to do.

There once lived a hyena in the forests of Mt. Kilimanjaro, who was very arrogant and selfish. Due to his lack of respect for his elders, he had been chased away from his clan. He now roamed in the vast forests alone.
It happened that the dry season turned out to be a very harsh drought. All the rivers eventually dried up and most of the animals either died or migrated. Because of this the hyena almost died from hunger as he was alone and hunting was so much harder for him.
One day, he was so hungry that he could not walk. He crawled under a shade and lay there, waiting to die. Vultures had already begun flying above him waiting to feed on his carcass. Before he passed on, he asked God to forgive all his sins and grant him another chance to live. He told God that he would be forever grateful if he survived. Just as he had finished his plea, heard had a mooing of a calf.
He mustered his last reserves of energy and crawled to where he heard the sound coming from. There, he saw a calf tethered to a tree. It was most likely that a herder had left it there.
He thought to himself then he started mocking God. He felt that it was he who had searched for food without God's assistance. He told God that if he was one who had provided the calf, then He should try and take it away.
He then came up with a plan. Since the rope was made of leather, he would start by eating the rope, then he would finish by eating the calf.
He jumped on the rope and started chewing. It was rough but he urged himself on, thinking about how he would finish by eating the sweet tender and juicy meat of the calf.
No sooner had he broken the rope than the calf ran away for its life. The hyena remained standing there amazed. He had not even imagined that the calf could escape.

Read the passage below to answer questions 26-38
It had been a rather long day. As Tim walked from away the hum of machines, a wry smile played at the corner of his mouth. It was the end of the month, and he had overheard his colleagues saying that their paycheques were ready. Going to the bank had become one of his most treasured moments, and he usually saved his best smile for the bank tellers when they pushed him a wad of notes across the counter.
Working for Regency Printers was not a bed of roses, and as Tim found his way out of the Design Department, a twinge of worry crossed his mind. His net salary had consistently failed to satisfy his family's growing needs. His debts were piling up, and meeting his basic requirements was a nightmare. But he was glad he was able to meet his three children's educational needs. Although his wife kept nagging him for a better life, Tim's priority was his children's needs.
Twenty minutes later, he was queuing at the bank, ATM card in hand. Tim calculated how much rent he would pay, and just like last month, the landlord would have to do with half the rent. His wife would demand a third of the salary for her monthly beauty treatment. Tim shuddered to think what would happen if he were to pay fees for his children in primary school.
"Everybody down!" It was a blood-curdling, authoritative voice.
Like tens of other clients, Tim hit the floor fast, sending his card flying from his hand. Suddenly, gunshots rent the air as four masked men, three of them toting rifles, took control of the banking hall. All were heavily built and towered over everyone else. Their dark coats fluttered as they pointed their guns from the bank workers to clients, their evil eyes taking in everything at once.
"You raise your head and I'll blast it oftl" one of the robbers shouted. As he walked between the people lying on the floor, he stepped on some fingers with his heavy boots. Everybody lay face-down, and an eerie silence filled the air.
Tim could remember seeing a security vehicle outside the bank and concluded that the robbers had either come for that loot, or were using the van for their daring mission. Please God, don't let them take my card, he thought, as the heavy boots trudged out of the bank, mission accomplished. Suddenly, there were confused noises as people got up.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39-50
Africa is billed as the last frontier in feeding the world. But even with its vast fertile lands, massive rivers and amenable climate, it is a food-deficient continent as opposed to a rich food exporter. Africa has gained the dubious reputation of a drought and hunger-stricken continent. Meteorologists regularly issue warnings that the climatic conditions for farming will become harsher, hence poorer harvests. That begs the question of our true standing in the looming severe food insecurity.
The once-predictable seasons are changing and the future of food security in Kenya is bleak.
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) recently reported that Kenya is experiencing its worst drought in 38 years. The rainfall deficit would plunge the country into a crisis that could see food insecurity and malnutrition undermine the economy.
Officially, more than 10 million Kenyans are food-insecure, with a majority often relying on relief. Also, the majority of the population has no access to food in the right amounts and quality. Households incur huge food bills due to the increasing food prices, fuelling inflation.
Agriculture is the engine of economic growth and a valuable source of income for most Kenyans. USAID reports that about 75 per cent of Kenyans derive all or part of their livelihoods from the sector, accounting for 18 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
Sadly, the sector is shunned by financial institutions. Farmers are traditionally hugely underserved by most financial institutions, given the perceived risk associated with the business. Bank loans have strenuous conditions, locking the majority out of the credit system and forcing them to
funding a mode of starting a business without external help or capital. However, in the past decade, agriculture has seen an increased interest in boosting its productivity as public and private sector institutions recognise the sector as a promising investment that addresses a national challenge.

39. According to paragraph one. It's true to say that 
    1. Africa should be producing enough food to feed the world
    2. Africa is the only place in the world with food 
    3. Africa is a rich food exporter
    4. Africa's climate is harsh
40. Three of the following are true about Africa except 
    1. the land is quite productive
    2. There are immense rivers 
    3. It is a food-rich continent
    4. The climate is responsive 
    5. Paragraph three states that
41. Kenya faces serious challenges on food security in future
    1. Kenya's food security is rosy 
    2. Kenya's food security will improve in future
    3. Kenya's food security will be predictable
42. Kenya's rainfall deficit will have the following outcomes
    1. food insecurity 
    2. food insecurity and malnutrition 
    3. Insecurity and proper nutrition
    4. food security and proper nutrition
43. After how long did Kenya experience its worst drought 
    1. about a century ago
    2. about half a century ago
    3. about two decades ago 
    4. about four decades ago
44. How many Kenyans are food insecure according to the passage 
    1. ten million Kenyans
    2. . more than five million Kenyans
    3.  less than ten million Kenyans
    4. at least ten million Kenyans
45. For Kenya to do well economically, it has to
    1. buy more food abroad 
    2. improve and support agriculture
    3. ask Kenyans to eat less
    4. use less money in buying food 
46. According to USAID reports
    1. a minority of Kenyans depend on Agriculture 
    2. only 18 per cent of Kenyans do not depend on Agriculture
    3. majority of Kenyans are dependent on Agriculture
    4. only 25 per cent of Kenyans are dependent on Agriculture 
47. The word shunned as used in the passage means 
    1. avoided
    2. assisted 
    3. supported
    4. aided
48. Financial institutions
    1. offer many loans to farmers
    2. . think it's too risky to offer farmers loans
    3. offer no loans at all to farmers
    4. offer flexible credit terms to farmers
49. The national challenge mentioned in the last paragraph is 
    1. lack of credit from banks 
    2. food insecurity
    3.  population growth
    4. climate change
50. The best title for this passage would be
    1. Effect of famine 
    2. Financial institutions 
    3. Improving agriculture to spur economic growth
    4. Small scale farmers
