Downloaded from hlayiso.com Read the passage below carefully and then answer Questions 1 to 4. Yanx was altogether too mischievous. Playing tricks was her speciality. She had already enjoyed a number of her successes when her mother took her to a shop one day last summer. Somehow, all unobserved, she managed to throw a large, sour lemon jelly onto the fan. The results of this were as disastrous to herself as to the other people eating nearby. It splattered onto all the people. Her mother was most embarrassed. It took more than one failure for Yanx to learn her lesson. The next day they went to the zoo to see animals. As soon as she saw an elephant, an idea came to her. She dashed into the cake shop and bought the biggest doughnut she could see. When she reached home, she sliced it open, scooped out the middle, filled it with several spoonfuls of mustard and coated the mustard with as much pepper as would stick to it. Having put the doughnut together again, she presented herself at the zoo and asked to be allowed to feed the elephant. When the elephant transferred the doughnut from its trunk to its mouth, a look of astonishment spread over the unfortunate animal's face. It emitted a high-pitched, thunderous cough. Yanx was delighted. Making sure that there was a reasonable distance between herself and the elephant, she roared with laughter. Meanwhile, the elephant had sucked up some water in its trunk and squirted it into its mouth. Feeling a little cooler inside, the elephant sucked up some more cold water and this time directed it with great accuracy down Yanx's neck. The laughter suddenly stopped.
