VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for the following questions.
It
was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to celebrate it by inviting
a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a quite part of
the town. It is one of my favourite restaurants becasue the food is good
and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, however,
because few people know about it, so is it not usually necessary to book
a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening as a rule.
When
we entered the restaurant, I was surprised therefore, to find it
completely full. I looked around but not a single table was free. One of
the waiters recognised me. He came across and explained the situation. A
party of tourists came in about half an hour ago, he said. It was like
an invasion. Suddenly the place was full! We can hardly manage.
The
waiter then pointed to table in the corner. The people there are just
about to leave, he said. Just hold on and youll find a place there. He
was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people at the corner table paid
their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat
down.
Unfortunately, our table was almost out of sight. We tried to
attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there but he, like all
other waiters, was busy with the party of tourists. They ordered
enormous quantities of food. But at last, nearly half an hour later, the
tourists werefinishing their meal and looking very pleased with life.
The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends
about the dishes and finally the waiter went off with our order.
