B) Reading Comprehension (16 Marks)

Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
Ahmed looked out the window of the school bus. Normally, he liked to count the
trees he saw on the way to school. They always looked so stunning, especially in spring. But
today was different. Ahmed had a competition.
Ahmed had never taken part in competitions before. His teacher held a spelling
competition for the fifth-grade classes. She explained that to do well in the competition, the
students would have to memorise their spelling words and rewrite them without any mistakes.
This made Ahmed feel very nervous. What would happen if he made mistakes? He was pretty
good at spelling, but sometimes words sound different from what they look on paper. Last
night, he tried to spell each word five times. He hoped this would be enough.
When Ahmed got to school, he didn't feel well. His stomach hurt. Ahmed went
straight to the nurse's office, but the nurse told him that he wasn't sick. He went back to class.
The teacher said to him that she was happy to see him as they were about to start the spelling
competition. The teacher gave the students the lists of words. Ahmed won the competition
because he could spell all the words on time with no mistakes.
