Which of the following statements is/are right ?

(a) The stranger did not seem to be badly hurt.
(b) Mini-Moris went past the stranger and then stopped.

  • A.(a) is right and (b) is wrong.
  • B.(b) is right and (a) is wrong.
  • C.Neither (a) nor (b) is right.
  • D.Both (a) and (b) are right.

Answer: D

Both (a) and (b) are right, as the key says.

(a) The stranger is described as bleeding 'from a cut in his cheek' and is calm enough to ask for a lift and apologise, so he did not seem badly hurt. (b) Bill first 'made to drive round him', that is, drove past him, and only then saw the skidded car and 'brought the Mini-Moris gradually to a stop', so the car went past the stranger and then stopped.

(b) is the weaker of the two, because the passage says Bill braked and then made to drive round, and the key treats the stop as after passing him. The options that call either statement wrong, or both, therefore do not fit the key.
