Tolo was at home and like other hunters, he decided to go and inspect his traps. The first two had caught nothing and so he proceeded to the third one which was located near the riverbank. It was a forested area and thus, having a panga in the hand was essential.

It was the safest thing he could do but it was the gravest mistake that landed him in trouble.

For some time, it remained so but at around eight o oclock, he heard some noise and looked down. Tulis utter surprise, the Icopard, with the deer's neck in the jaws, was struggling up the tree! This shocked him and made him climb to even higher branches. It was then that he realized that he was 100, was trapped!

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50

Speaking up is important, especially when addressing people who are senior to you. It is the best ever thing to do as it leaves no doubt to your listener that you know what you are saying and are confident. Mental toughness sometimes requires you to say 'No' even when given a command. In the Special Forces, it is called 'Chinese Parliament'. This is where all of us are able to talk very leely with one another, with complete disregard to positions others hold. It's common to hear one say, 'I'm going to be part of the mission and I'm not going to lose my life' If such a person thinks it is dangerous, it's wise for him to say so at once without mincing his words.

In the forces, it's difficult to go direct to the commander and tell him that the plan can't work and it's loaded with big risks. This, however, should be acceptable especially when one has read intelligence reports on the possible danger. It could make the commander think of a different way, of attacking the enemy. Options are usually many, not one. This only happens when you don't have mental toughness to question things or give suggestions.

If you fail to talk to your seniors and instead have the Big Boss mentality, with an assumption that the commander knows it all, you may die alongside the same commander or he might live after you're gone. This only happens when you don't have mental toughness to question things or give suggestions

In the army, however much you have trained and have expertise in a certain area, it is necessary to be flexible. This means that although rules are laid down to be followed, at times, they could be bent". It doesn't make sense to stick to laid down procedures when it looks obvious that it's leading you into a disaster. Sadly, at times, such actions end up affecting a specific individual who then is blamed for it.

If you are not flexible, you could end up gencrating lower results. This is because it kills creativity and innovation. Conditions and situations keep changing and this should make every single and individual by shifting the mindset. Creativity is vital for the growth and development because things, people, time and circumstances change.

What does the writer mean by saying speaking up is importance?
1. It shows the speaker a lot of respect
2. Speaking up makes it easy to identify seniors from juniors.
3. It makes one develop confidence when talking.
4. It ensures the communication is effective.
By saying 'No' When given a command, it shows that
1. your state of mind is acceptable.
2. you don't easily take in instructions.
3. you think faster than others.
4. no one is clever as you are.
For your listeners to confirm that he had been paying attention,
1. only your seniors should get you
2. statements said should be repeated.
3. you should be loud enough.
4. there must be many questions asked.
In a Chinese parliament, one is expected to
1. pay attention when being spoken to
2. speaking loudly and clearly
3. remember the positions people hold.
4. express himself freely to all others.
How do people in the forces pass information to their seniors?
1. After getting intelligence reports,
2. By talking politely to their commanders.
3. If everybody is aware of the danger.
4. By asking their seniors for solution problems
The MAIN use of the intelligence is that
1. his commander uses it to win the war
2. it could safeguard the soldiers
3. No soldier can go to fight without it
4. Identifying the soldier to be promoted becomes easy.
The Big Boss mentality is discouraged because
1. both soldiers and the commander are at risk
2. the commanders do not like it.
3. only the commaders give orders to soldiers.
4. it relies on a lot of assumption
What is the opposite of the word flexible as used in the fourth paragraph?
1. Tough
2. Rigid
3. Brave
4. Strong
By bending rules, the writer means that
1. doing the opposite of what the rule says.
2. there are rules to be followed.
3. not following the rules exactly as expected
4. the decision to follow the rules or not to is optional
Some people are blamed for causing disasters
1. as they obviously caused them.
2. since they have got injured in the accidents
3. as someone has to take the blame anyway.
4. they had the capacity to avert it.
Why would people be flexible in decision making?
1. Many decisions are eratic.
2. Situations are not stati
3. No one knows everything
4. Many decisions are not popular
The BEST title for this passage would be
1. Communication within the armed forces
2. How commanders intimidate their juniors
3. The operation of the Chinese Parliament
4. The blame game within the armed forces
