Comprehension Passage: A Journey by Lorry

In Nigeria, a country with diverse landscapes and bustling cities, transportation plays a crucial role. One common means of transport is the lorry, a large, heavy motor vehicle for transporting goods or troops. Let’s embark on a journey by lorry.

One sunny morning, Mr. Ade, a seasoned lorry driver, started his day early. His lorry, a massive vehicle painted in vibrant colors, was loaded with goods to be delivered to a market in a town several miles away. The lorry rumbled to life, its engine echoing in the quiet morning air.

As Mr. Ade navigated the lorry through the busy streets of Lagos, he honked his horn now and then, alerting smaller vehicles and pedestrians of his approach. The cityscape gradually gave way to open roads lined with lush greenery. The journey was long, but Mr. Ade was used to it. He hummed a local tune, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

The lorry trundled along the uneven roads, its tires crunching on the gravel. Every bump on the road jostled the goods in the back, but they were securely tied down. Mr. Ade expertly maneuvered the lorry around potholes, his years of experience evident in his driving.

As the sun began to set, Mr. Ade finally reached his destination. The market was bustling with activity. He unloaded the goods as market-goers watched with interest. Tired but satisfied, Mr. Ade ended his day, ready to embark on another journey the next day.
