I. PART A- (20 marks) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : (15) 1. The fact that everybody enjoys a good mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on 'magic' to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat or swallow countless eggs. Probably, the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His real name was Ehrich Weiss, but he adopted the name Houdini after reading a book which greatly influenced him. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert-Houdin. Houdini mastered the art of escaping. He could free himself from the most difficult locks in seconds. No one knows how he did this. But there is no doubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock invented. He would carry a small needle-like tool tied to his leg. He used this tool as a substitute for a key.
