PART II: UNSEEN PROSE AND POETRY

Read the following passage and answer the following question:

Along marched the crowd, determined not to be distracted from its cause and the course it had charted. If anyone could intimidate the chief, it was Sasu, who led the crowd. The chief nurtured unruffled restraint. He knew Sasu, knew that Sasu would not waste the trust between them on renegades.

One way to divert a mob from its goal is to join in with it, lead it on, but, finally, veer it from the course of its cause. Onward, towards the chief's palace marched the crowd, singing war songs.

The sun frowned as the palace guards, rattling like leaves in a storm - fear branded on their faces, came out to survey the threatening crowd and prepare for a siege. Just then, Sasu turned about, heading away from the palace - with the crowd, and the war songs.
