Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Heat, cold, mountains, deserts, illness, and wild animals, all of these were possible dangers when Nick Bourne set out to achieve something that most people considered impossible: to run from one end of Africa to the other — a journey that many people thought was impossible. It would take him through some of the continent’s most challenging terrains, testing not only his physical endurance but also his mental strength and resilience.

Bourne began his run in northern Egypt in October 1997, but his adventure almost ended just 500 miles into the journey. As he approached the Sudanese border, he was stopped by the Egyptian military, who refused to let him continue, fearing for his safety. With no other choice, Bourne returned to Cairo and later flew to Cape Town, South Africa, where he restarted his mission on 21 January 1998, determined to complete his goal despite the setback.

Every day, Bourne began his routine at 3:30 a.m., starting with a simple breakfast of cereal before setting off on his first run of the day. After covering 20 miles, he would take a break and refuel with a hearty pasta lunch before continuing another 20 miles in the afternoon. To keep his energy up and prevent dehydration, he drank up to 15 liters of water and other liquids each day.

Along the way, Bourne had incredible and often dangerous encounters. In the blistering 62°C heat of the Kalahari Desert, he found himself face to face with a giant cobra. In Zambia, his heart rate skyrocketed from 135 beats per minute to over 190, and a doctor diagnosed him with malaria. He had to run through herds of elephants, was attacked by a swarm of bees in Tanzania, and even celebrated his 28th birthday with a chocolate cake at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.

After eleven grueling months and 6,021 miles, Bourne finally reached the Pyramids in Egypt, completing one of the most incredible feats in running history.
