of your choice that are in past tense. there was no time for that now, so he hurried on.
At the bus station, Dele quickly loaded his bus and sped off
without any of the necessary checks on the vehicle. He had to
make up for lost time. It was the rush hour, so the bus was
overloaded as it often was, with many passengers hanging on
to the doors. The tyres were threadbare, the brakes were
faulty and the road was wet, but, still feeling a little sleepy,
Dele sped on. Many passengers protested about his reckless
driving, but he would not listen. After all, didn’t he have
protection against accident?

As the vehicle took the last turn before its destination, Dele
saw a broken-down truck blocking his side of the road. Under
normal circumstances, he could have brought the bus safely
to a halt, bur the circumstances were far from normal. The
careering bus hit the parked vehicle, swerved wildly across
the road and plunged into a ditch.

Dele’s surprise before he sank into oblivion was the failure of

his supposedly protective amulets.

(a) Why did Dele wake up late?

(b) Give two reasons why Dele drove recklessly.

(c) Why was Dele unable to stop his faulty vehicle?
