Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Rahul was very hungry. He was willing to eat some sandwiches. He decided that a sub-sandwich was the only thing that could satisfy his intense hunger, so he went to the local sub shop just down the street. This place was nice, because they knew him by name.
The worker called out his name and said hello when he walked through the door. When the door bells chimed and shut behind him, Rahul smiled and settled into the line, staring at the menu board. There were a lot of choices, and the smell of cheeses and herb breads already had his mouth watering.
When it was his turn, he chose the bread first, having considered his choices while he waited. "I'll take a super 12 inch with Italian herb and cheese bread."
The worker pulled the bread from the warmer, then masterfully sliced and prepared the extra-long loaf of tasty bread. "What sort of cheese would you like?"
"I want the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses mixed together," Rahul decided. Those were layered on carefully, alternating as they were spaced out along the sandwich bread. "Toast that for me, if you would."
The worker nodded, grabbed a toaster platter, shoveled the sandwich on there, and then placed it in the toaster oven. A press of a button and a few moments later, it was ready. It came out hot and steaming, with the bread edges turned a nice crusty brown, and the cheese melted and gooey. "What veggies and sauces will we be putting for this sandwich, Rahul?"
"I want everything except pickles and extra tomatoes," Rahul answered. He watched hungrily as the lettuce, tomato, onion, green peppers, spinach, olives, and red peppers were spread across the sandwich. Now it was time for sauces. "I'll take the spicy mayo and a touch of southwest sauce. Finish it with oregano, and some black pepper."
"You're going all out today." The worker said, following the directions carefully. When the sandwich was finished, he packed all the toppings in carefully so it could be cut into thirds. Then he wrapped it in waxed paper and slid it into a paper bag. "Would you like any chips or drinks?" Rahul shook his head. "No, thank you; I just need the sandwich."
The worker nodded, punched a few buttons on the cash register and announced, "That'll be ₹ 85."
Rahul paid with ₹ 100, and collected his change. Then he waved and headed out to the car for his first bite of the huge sandwich. It tasted just as good as it had smelled and looked. It hit the spot.

READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.


India is one of the most populous nations in the world. The city of Mumbai, better known as Bombay, carries this notion to ridiculous ends.
Mumbai/Bombay
Mumbai is located on the west coast of India and is a sight to be seen. Until 1997, the city was known as Bombay, but the government, for some esoteric reason, changed the name. “Mumbai” was the name used by locals for years and refers to a local goddess. Most of the city’s buildings and agencies still incorporate Bombay into their names. I know it gets confusing, which is more or less a good way to describe the city. A little-known fact about Bombay is the geographic nature of the city. When originally settled, the city was actually a collection of islands. As the need for land has grown over the years, the water has been pushed back to the point where all the islands are now connected in one land mass.
Serenity
If you’re looking for a serene vacation destination, Bombay is simply the worst place you could go. Upwards of 17 million people live in the city. Spend a week there, and you’ll feel like you’ve rubbed up against every one of them. The city is so packed with people that getting from point “A” to point “B” can take forever.You will not find a secluded restaurant, tourist attraction, or spot on the beach.
Attractions
Bombay is full of interesting things to see if you can get there. Victoria Train Station is definitely worth taking in for the unique architecture and absolute mass of people. The gardens at Horniman Circle are good for a stroll and are one place where you won’t feel completely overwhelmed by masses of humanity. For a humorous time, you can hit the beaches looking for one of the movie crews. Yep, Bombay is the home of the movie industry in India and is often referred to as “Bollywood”.
In reality, the best thing to see in Bombay is Bombay. Just get out and walk. You’ll see snake charmers, vendors hawking everything under the sun, the occasional elephant and taxi drivers that put a New York cabbie to shame.
Poverty
India has serious poverty issues in the larger cities. Bombay has a brutal poverty problem. As much as 30 percent of the population lives in severe poverty. By severe, I am referring to people living in cardboard shacks with no running water and so on. Even the most seasoned traveller will be overwhelmed. If you are going to visit Bombay, be emotionally prepared for it.
Whether you call it Bombay or Mumbai, there is no denying the uniqueness of this city. Some travellers can’t stand it while others find it intoxicating. Of course, you’ll never know if you don’t give it a visit.
