Reading Comprehension (10points)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Karen felt like her life was in danger every time Phil was driving. He treated a drive on the highway as a challenge to his honor and manhood. If someone was driving slowly ahead of him, he thought it was his right to strike back, flash his lights and blow his horn. "Teach them a lesson — they can't do that." If someone cut him off too closely, he would chase them on the highway, trying to overtake them. It was a constant war for him. Unfortunately, his wife and daughter were terrified. Luckily he hadn't had an accident yet, but Karen felt that she couldn't continue being a passenger. She finally left him, much to his surprise, but she felt she had to get out while she was still alive and while her daughter was still safe. In a recent incident, a couple was arrested for firing a gun into a vehicle after an accident.
