Africa is the second largest continent in the world and it is a continent that is unique for its diversity of environment, people, and culture. Africa is geographically divided into two parts: the Sahara desert that extends right up to the Mediterranean Sea comprising countries such as Egypt, Libya and Algeria, and the larger sub-Saharan region which extends to the coast of South Africa comprising countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Sudan.
There are huge spectacular nature reserves with varied wildlife and there are also extremely urbanised regions with large cities that contain fascinating skyscrapers and contemporary facilities. There are people who are extremely poor but there are also people who are extremely rich. There are regions that suffer from severe droughts and famine and there are regions where food is plentiful. Visiting Africa will definitely open one's eyes to the varied world of this landmass and its people.
The population of the African continent is rapidly increasing. In some parts of Africa as in the Sahara Desert, which is unsuitable for habitation, the population density is low. In other parts of Africa, in particular the less developed countries, despite the birth rate being high, the infant mortality rate and the death rate are also high. Over the last few decades, famine, disease, and war have also taken their toll on the people and this has affected the continent's population growth. In the more affluent African countries that are faring well economically, the birth and death rates are lower so there is a higher population density.
The inhabitants of Africa belong to various ethnic groups with their own distinct languages, traditions, arts and crafts, history, way of life, and religion. So, the people from diverse ethnic groups in Africa help to influence, contribute to and enrich one other's culture. There are more than 50 countries in Africa with some 20 or more different ethnic groups living within their boundaries. There are also different ethnic groups living in rural Africa with their own traditions and lifestyles that have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. They have lived the way of their forefathers from generation to generation. Their rich cultural heritage is preserved and untouched by the outside world.
The people of Africa are mainly of African origin. Some are of Arab origin when their ancestors migrated from their native land and resided in northern Africa. Some others are of European origin whose ancestors moved to Africa during the colonial period. And some are Asians originating from the Indian subcontinent. Some of the well known ethnic groups in Africa are the Ashanti, Bantu, Bushmen, Fulani, Moors, Pygmies, Swahili, and Yoruba.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Remember to always answer questions in a complete sentence. Poverty Five times a day, the crowd of students flocked around the window through which the caretaker sold her cakes, then broke up in the yard to play and walk about, while heartily biting into long pieces of a type of gingerbread with jam. And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
