51. Read the passage below and then answer, in full sentences, the questions that follow.
In our sub-county, there are two activities done everyday. These are farming
and business. Most people are farmers. They grow different crops and rear
chicken, goats and cattle. Men and women are both involved in the
business. They sell different items including foodstuffs and animal products
from their farms.
Mr. Amooti is among the well known businessmen in the area. He has the
biggest shop. In his shop, there is a variety of items. Some are weighed in
kilogrammes like sugar, maize flour, rice, beans and groundnuts. Others are
packed in bottles, tins or packets like juice, soda, water, shoe polish, salt and
baking flour.
If anyone needed paraffin or cooking oil, these would be measured in litres.
They are also measured in small quantities as a person may require. There
is hardly anything a person may want for home use that is not in Mr. Amooti's
shop.
In order to serve his many customers well, Mr. Amooti has employed some
workers to help him. They all serve with a smile. More so, items in his shop
are cheaper compared to those from other shops. When children go to buy
from his shop, he sometimes gives them sweets. It is a reward for choosing
to buy from his shop.
