Read the following passage and answer questions from 1-8.
Four hours earlier the man had anchored his small towing boat off
the rocky coast of the island and had climbed the steep slope. This
coast was rarely frequented by visitors; for it was difficult of access
and landscape was bleak and unfriendly. (Simple curiosity and the
love of adventure had impelled the man to go there). When he had
set out in the morning, the sea had been very calm and clear, the sky
cloudless. But now a strong wind had risen; the coast for miles
around was gloomy and desolate. Dark waves sent up a huge spray
each time they broke on the black, uneven rocks which plunged deep
down into the water.
(Looking down at the choppy sea below, the man realized he would
have to move quickly if he was to save his boat). The rocks, which
had previously been fairly easy to climb, were now treacherous and
slippery. The man clung to the face to prevent himself from slipping.
At one point, the slope was so sheer, that he was obliged to climb up
again and come down by another route. He stopped to regain his
breath by a withered overhanging tree. He was now so close to the
sea that he could taste salt on his lips as the fine sea spray rose up
and fell and his teeth were chattering with cold. But the plight of his
boat was uppermost in his mind. (Below it was bobbing on the waves
like a cork and at any moment the rope which held it fast might
break, the boat would either be carried out to sea or dashed to
pieces against the rocks). The man began to climb down again, but
stopped abruptly when he heard the sound of splintering wood. His
worst fears had been realized; he saw his boat lifted high by the
waves and beaten against the rocks again and again. The man looked
down helplessly, as a tangled mass of drift wood and gear floated
away over the water.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions
from 8-12.
Coconut is the fruit of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It is used
for its water, milk, oil and tasty meat. Coconuts have been grown in
tropical regions for more than 4500 years but recently increased in
popularity for their flavour, culinary uses, and potential health
benefits. The name comes from the old Portuguese and Spanish
word ‘Coco’, meaning ‘head’ or ‘skull’ after the three indentations on
the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous
in coastal tropical regions, and are a cultural icon of the tropics.
The coconut is an unusual food for many reasons. It is technically a
seed, produced by the coconut palm tree, and as such is one of the
largest edible seeds produced by any plant. Its usual contents also
make it unique in the seed world – the interior consists of both
‘meat’ and ‘water’. The meat is the white pith with which we are all
familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavourings; the
coconut water is a white liquid that is very sweet and thirst-
quenching. Portuguese explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th
century, referring to it as coco, meaning ‘ghost’ in their language.
The three dimples and the hairy texture reminded them of a ghost’s
face, and the tree has retained that name ever since.
