below and answer the questions that follow.

was one of the busiest roads in the city. Sad and depressed

thoroughfare with thousands of people passing through did
not even have a single cigarette shop. He suddenly felt that it
was no longer necessary for him to hunt for a job. He
decided to open a tobacco shop himself. It was bound to be
profitable, he felt.
