Read the following passage carefully. 

    

Pawpaw is a fast-growing, short-lived tropical plant, native to the Americas. Today, orchards of pawpaw trees from Jamaica to Hawaii bear great quantities of fruits for use in domestic and export markets. The tree is a simple, slender stalk with symmetrical, large, deeply indented leaves.

 Pawpaws like to be warm and they thrive in sunshine and reflected heat. Plant them in the hottest part of your yard even against the side of the house where nothing seems happy. Water is the next crucial element in their care. Their roots rot and are killed easily by too much moisture. The soil needs to be well drained, moist in hot weather and drier in cold weather. They do not tolerate salty water or soil. 

    All parts of the pawpaw and its leaves are useful. The ripe fruits may be eaten fresh or drunk in juices. Additionally, persons preparing meals attest to the tenderizing quality of young pawpaws when added to meat. Pawpaw seeds have a spicy, pepper-like flavour and are swallowed to expel worms from the body. 

    People eat fresh pawpaw every day to prevent constipation. One elderly gentleman who suffered a back injury from a fall, and expected to suffer from pain and problems for the rest of his life, was advised to eat pawpaw. Years later, with pawpaw as a regular part of his diet, he has no pain, and his back seems to be perfectly healed. Pawpaw juice, mixed with a little mango juice, is also used to ease severe indigestion.

 The following questions are about the passage which you have just read. Write complete sentences in answer to the questions. Pay attention to your spelling and grammar.
