Choose the correct answer for each question.
As Mr Rashad was driving home from work one evening, his car engine broke down suddenly. He tried to start it again but in vain. Eventually, he went into a nearby cafe and phoned a garage, asking for a mechanic to be sent out.
When the mechanic arrived, he lifted the bonnet (the front covering of the engine); looked at the engine for a moment, then pushed a wire back into its place. When he turned the key, the engine started again.
"How much do I owe you?" asked Mr Rashad. "Twenty pounds" said the mechanic. "Isn't that a lot of money for pushing the wire back? protested Mr Rashad." For pushing the wire back I charged fifty piastres, but I charged ten pounds for knowing which wire to push back" replied the mechanic.
