Question 4
Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow. [20]
One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the
dim light of day, he could sense she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes
and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help
for the last hour or so. He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that
she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am.
Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan
Anderson.”
(iii) What did the lady ask the man after he had helped her? Why did he not
accept? [2]
