COMPREHENSION PASSAGE 3


Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

When Mr Appiah looked at the two happy faces of his nephews, he forgot his aching feet and smiled. He had spent the whole day showing Aware and Attach, who came from the village, around Accra. He was satisfied that they were happy. It was not until they were seated on a bench in the public garden that he realised how hot , tired and dusty he was.

It was a long time since he had walked so much. Like many other successful men , Mr. Appian had acquired the habit of going everywhere in his car; so that day's sightseeing expedition had worn him out.

'Well,what do you think of Accra?
He asked the boys.
'Oh!' exclaimed Attach. 'it's a wonderful place'!

' I didn't imagine any place could be like this, Uncle said Asare, ' _Everything is so splendid._ The roads are very wide and the building magnificent'.

'Boys, don't get wrong impression. Today you've seen the best parts of our city; but there are bad areas with buildings falling apart, narrow streets and insanitary conditions. However, these buildings are being demolished',said Mr. Appiah.
