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.

Read the passage below and answer questions 39-50
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. He started begging God again to help him saying that he had made a big mistake. He pleaded with God saying he was sorry. This time round, it was too late.
