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.

            Do you ever wonder why we can see into the future? I once read a story which almost made me sure that at least some people can.

            A man living on his own in a flat was sitting reading one evening when he suddenly smelled smoke corning from somewhere in the flat. He immediately got up and went to the kitchen because he thought he must have left something on the gas by mistake. There was certainly the smell of smoke, but there was nothing burning. So he looked in the hall and the bedroom and the bathroom, but he still couldn't find anything burning. When he went outside the flat, there was no smell of burning at all, so, thinking it must be his imagination, he went back to his reading.

           A month later he returned from a trip to find firemen putting out a fire in his flat. They told him that some electric wires had short circuit and caused the fire. So was it simply that the wires had started smouldering a month before or did he in fact "see into the future"?
