Part A: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow

One day, Owina was called by his father to get ready to travel with him to Lagos the following day.
The boy was very happy because he had never visited Lagos before; moreover, he was going to travel by air for the first time.
The other children became jealous when they heard the news. They had all gone to Lagos with their father at different times in the past, but did not travel by air. So they cried and appealed to their father to taken them along. Their father’s stern look was enough to send them out of the sitting room. They went back to the playground behind the house where they had been playing. Ogegere was going to attend a meeting in Lagos.
He decided to take Owina this time because the other children always laughed at him for having not been to Lagos. This often made the boy cry.
