Read the following excerpt from "The Swimming Contest" and use it to answer questions 4 - 6. Question 1 4. "Then let's have a general knowledge competition," I challenged Abdul-Karim. "For instance: who discovered America?"
"Columbus," Abdul-Karim answered.
"Wrong!" I said. "It was Amerigo Vespucci, and that's why it's called America!"
"He beat you!" Nahida called to her uncle. "You see, he beat you!"
"He beat me in America," Abdul-Karim said, "but I beat him right here, in the pool."
"You wait till I'm grown up and then I'll be at you right here in the pool," I told him.
Nahida seemed about to nod her agreement, but thought better of it and looked at her uncle to see what he was going to answer to that.
"If he ever manages to be at me here in the pool," Abdul-Karim said, "it will be very bad indeed. It will be bad for you too, Nahida. Bad for all of us."
