COMPREHENSION  AND   SUMMARY

1.  Read the following passage carefully and then answer the question that  follow.

 It was raining heavily when Mustapha and Ally left Mpwapwa on their 

way to Dodoma.  They were driving the hospital pick up to collect supplies for the hospital.  They drove across the dry riverbed near Kongwa and joined the main road.  They soon reached Dodoma. They collected the supplies, ate lunch of Ugali and roasted liver in a busy Mpwapwa.

 

On their way back they stopped from time to time to pick up some passengers and the buy bought some goat meat from the butcheries at the junction of Mpwapwa road.  When they reached the river bed, they were surprised to find some water flowing along it. “There must be a lot of rain in the mountains”.

Ally  said. “May be we should wait until the water has stopped.

      “Don’t worry” , replied Mustapha,.  “The water is not very deep.  The pick- up  will easily pass through.

He drove the pick-up into the river. The water reached the top of the wheels.  Rocks and pieces of wood in the river hit  the pick-up.  The passengers in the back were beginning to feel frightened when suddenly there was a loud roar and a wall of muddy water rushed towards them.
