Comprehension & Composition - Comprehension

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow. You will beawarded marks for grammar, punctuation, spelling and handwriting.

Intrusions

Last night, as I lay fast asleep,We had some snow, not very deep.It melted in the morning sunAnd all had gone by half-past one.

The night before, I woke from sleep.To bleating of a cornered sheep.She bleated till the break of day

Till someone helped her get away.

Wednesday, this afternoon, some jets flew by,Shattering the silence of the sky.Once, twice, thrice they passed, and thenThe country side was quiet again.

By stealth, persistence, force,Life is diverted from its course.

J. M. Sharman

The bell was already ringing for first period as Livi (Olivia) ran intothe locker room to put her music away. It was French which she hated

and could see little point in, since every French person she had evermet spoke perfectly serviceable English. Livi preferred logical subjectslike maths and science, that had rules that made sense and neverchanged. Worse still, it was Friday, so it would be reading comprehen-sion, which meant concentrating like crazy, and how could she be ex-pected to concentrate with the thought of what she was about to say toAdam.
