Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because
of his old age. Last week, he was strolling near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He took refuge under
a tree and was struck by lightning. He was kocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later lying face
down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in the bed.
A short time later, he awoke; his legs were numb and he was trembling, but when he opened his eyes, he
could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the
first time in nine years. Doctors confirmed that he was regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of
lightning but they are unable to explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one trauma in a
terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another trauma.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because
of his old age. Last week, he was strolling near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He took refuge under
a tree and was struck by lightning. He was kocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later lying face
down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in the bed.
A short time later, he awoke; his legs were numb and he was trembling, but when he opened his eyes, he
could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the
first time in nine years. Doctors confirmed that he was regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of
lightning but they are unable to explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one trauma in a
terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another trauma.
