SECTION A –READING
I. Read the following passage and mark the correct options:

1. A ten year old boy, who battled with a crocodile in a river twenty kilometres from here, is now recovering from his wounds in the local hospital. But his left thigh bears twelve teeth marks, which will leave scars lasting the rest of his life. After proudly showing off his scars, the boy told a newspaper reporter his story.
2. He was bathing in a river with his friend, also ten years old, near the Kampong, where they both live. “I was splashing about in the shallow part of the river, near the bank, close to an old coconut stump which had been washed down by erosion. The stump saved my life”, the boy narrated. “Suddenly, I felt something grip me on the left leg, dragging me towards the middle of the river. I struggled hard and managed to get a grip of the roots, of the old stump. At the same time, I shouted for help, but no one came.”
3. His friend, meanwhile, had scrambled up the bank to safety. The boy said that he did not realize that a crocodile had seized him until he saw its tail thrashing the water.
4. “When I saw what it was,” he went on breathlessly, “I held all the more tightly to the coconut roots, and using my left hand, I started to beat the crocodile.
