Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
The sky was piercingly blue, and the sheets of vegetation down to the river a soft and brilliant green.
Occasionally we came upon walking natives, who, on hearing the cars, scuttled like spiders up the
steep roadside and waited, watching, until they had passed. In less precipitous places, little naked
boys, holding long sticks, superintended the grazing of diminutive humped cattle, and sucked their
fingers in wonder as the expedition left them behind. In the still air, high above the river, buzzards
were idly suspended, hardly moving their hair like wings. The sun rose towards the zenith, and it
grew very hot.
