COMPREHENSION 30

1) Alleybone did not get a chance to eat most of the time, resulting in him being skinny.

2) Human beings attacked him using bricks, cams and even resorted to kicking him.

3) The rats were half his size and twice as tough, putting him at a disadvantage.

4) I think he will lose in fights most of the time due to insufficient food and his skinny build.

5) The phrase is "got out of the way of."

6) He scrounged in grabage bins, caught occasional mouse, found scraps of food here and there.

7) He smelled wonderful smells of food; most of the time, he had to search for food.

8) I think a chef or a waiter spoke to Alleybone.

9) I think the food came from buffet spread.

10) It refers to the chef offering Alleybone the leftover stuff again.
