Read the following passage and answer questions 191 - 195.
   A shot smashed the wing-mirror and 1 trod on the accelerator even harder trying to coax a little more speed out of the screaming engine. Beside me Priya was quite calm, butI could sense that she was as terrified as I was. She was clinging on to her seat so as not to be thrown on to me as we hurled round bends and comers, and bounced up and down on the rough surface. It was no more than a cart track, really. My only thought was to get to a town or village or at least to some sign of humanity - they would never dare shoot us down in cold blood in front of witnesses
   The little van was out of sight now round one of the bends, but when we came to an unexpectedly straight part of the lane, I could see it behind us in the driving mirror. Then there was a crash as our rear window exploded, a bullet whistled between our heads, and the windscreen shattered into a thick white fog.
   windscreen shattered into a thick white fog. “Knock it out, Priya! For God’s sake, knock it out!’ I screamed. Priya was sobbing, choking back fear and with her gloved hands she beat at the windscreen, using her hand bag as a hammer and managed to knock a hole through which I could see the road ahead. The wind blew the broken glass in and my lap and chest were covered with little pebbles of glasses. Now an icy gale whistled through the hole and made it difficult to see where we were going. My eyes were watering and it was all 1 could make out the bends in the lane.
