One by one, they arrived on the shore, but just as they seemed to be about to bathe in the inviting muddy liquid , they became aware of the silent truck with its tell-tale smell of man. The leading elephant merely spread her ears and cautiously backed away taking the young elephants with her.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A smaller mother elephant continued to stand next to the pool, however , swinging her long trunk and swaying her head from side to side always keeping an eye on the truck. The baby elephant behind her held up his head, waving his trunk to sample the suspicious smell in the wind. The mother elephant seemed to be uncertain about whether to come on and investigate the truck or to back away with the others. Finally she made up her mind and slowly advanced the truck. Her ears were half out, and her trunk moved inquiringly towards the vehicle and then back under her stomach in a rhythmic swing.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I was fascinated by this close approach. Never before had I been able to see the hairiness around the jaw, nor smell the warm scent of elephant which now reach me in concentrated waves. The mother elephant’s step were slow but determined, and brought her to within a couple of meters of me.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; She gave the impression of being intensely curious about this metal object which had appeared in her world and behaved as if it were itself an animal. I wondered how far she would accept the situation and, if after all the centuries of men killing elephants, she would ever allow me to approach her on foot. To be able to move freely among the elephants without their minding was an exciting thought, but I certainly did not expect it would ever be possible.21.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It had been the elephants’ intention to……………..a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; feed on the grassb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; swim in the poolc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; lie in the sunshined.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; avoid the mud22.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The presence of the writer and vehicle………………….a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Was not noticed by the elephantsb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Made the leading elephant suspiciousc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Made the adult elephants curiousd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Frightened all the elephants away23.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How did the smaller elephant react the truck?a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; She showed more curiosity than the other elephantsb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; She kept her baby away from itc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After some hesitation she moved away with the other elephantsd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; She rushed up to it excitedly24.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; While he watched the mother elephant approaching, the author…………..a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Was worried that the elephants were too closeb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Found the smell very unpleasantc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Was impressed by elephant’s sized.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Saw details he had not noticed before25.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The author did not expect he would ever be able to………………a.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Shoot the elephantsb.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Touch the elephantsc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Walk about freely near the elephantsd.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Drive his truck close to the elephants&nbsp;[SPOILER]21.C&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 22.B&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 23.A&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 24.D&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 25.C[/SPOILER]PAPER 2: WRITING&nbsp; &nbsp; SECTION A: Use of EnglishA.&nbsp; Fill each of the numbered blanks in the following passage.
