Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 'Kemi had always believed that the city would save her.

It simply absorbed her, the way a river swallows a stone — completely and without ceremony. For three years she cleaned other people's floors, ironed other people's clothes, and swallowed other people's insults with the mechanical obedience of someone who has made a private bargain with suffering.
