  Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

  After submitting his resignation, Albert came out and took the long narrow road leading to the railway station which was one of the busiest roads in the city.

It was odd that such a busy thoroughfare with thousands of people passing through, did not even have a single cigarette shop. He suddenly felt that it was no longer necessary for him to hunt for a job. He decided to open a tobacco shop himself. It was bound to be profitable, he felt.
