Questions 33 - 40 are based on the following story.

One day, Fariz was walking home along an alley. It was rather late11.00 p.m. The night was

dark and he was alone. As he was passing a monsoon drain, he heard shouts for help. At once he rushed

towards the drain and saw an old woman in it. She pleaded for assistance as she was badly injured. Fariz

pulled her out and told her to wait while he went to get help.

Without hesitation, Fariz raced to the main road. He was deeply distressed when he sensed no one

was around. Suddenly, from afar he saw two spotlights. He knew it was a car. As it came nearer, he stood

in the middle of the road and raised his hands while shouting as loudly as he could. The driver must have

seen him as he stopped his car immediately. Fariz informed him about what happened and he was willing

to help.

The concerned driver, Raju, and Fariz went to the place where the old woman was waiting. She

was a very strong woman. Even though she was badly injured, she put up a brave front. She looked at

them imploringly. Quickly, they sent her to the General Hospital and Fariz thanked the man who then left.

The injured woman had requested Fariz to inform her family. With the numbers she had given him,

Fariz called up her relatives.
