On that second day, however, I learned that it was all a question of money. Someone told me about this, and then I watched closely and saw that it was true.

Money changed hands, and the guards then let those people quietly through a small door to the side.

• Watching closely

Which answer best conveys the central idea of the passage?

That Ghulam Ali was certainly a good man, so patient with us and so compassionate. He had never seen us before, and yet when he met us, he said, "I will help you." That's the thing about life. You never know when and where you will encounter a spot of human decency. I have felt alone in this world at times; I have known long periods of being no one. But then, without warning, a person like Ghulam Ali just turns up and says, "I see you. I am on your side." Strangers have been kind to me when it mattered most. That sustains a person's hope and faith.

• The kindness of strangers, like Ali, mattered to the narrator.

• Ghulam Ali was a good man

• The narrator was alone

• Ghulam Ali was a stranger to the narrator.
