2 Read the article below about a company which repairs turnstiles (the metal gates used at sports grounds).
For each question ( on the opposite page, choose the correct answer.
Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.
Master of the Turnstiles For years, Jim Cartwright enjoyed spending his spare time repairing his local football club's turnstiles, the metal gates which allow one person at a time into the football ground. When Jim was made redundant from his full-time job selling equipment to sports organizations, he realized he already knew plenty of people responsible for turnstiles. This made him sure that his hobby could become a successful new career.
He had 1000 brochures printed and posted them to clubs around the country. For two weeks he heard nothing. Then Troon Football Club requested a quotation for repairing their turnstiles, with the possibility of the work becoming regular. He wanted the contract so much that he cut his profit margin to a minimum. He won it, though with no guarantee of further work, and celebrated the launch of his new business.
In the next month, club after club offered Jim work, and he recruited his first employee, Alec, to help re-install the repaired turnstiles. Alec, however, took frequent breaks and never put in more effort than he had to. What's more, he seemed unhappy working for Jim. Although Jim had no complaints about the quality of his work, Alec's attitude made him difficult to work with.
Jim considered-dismissing Alec, but recruiting him had taken a long time because there had been so many suitable people to interview. Now he was simply too busy to go through that process again. And anyway, Jim had employed Alec on the understanding that the job would probably end when the current contracts were completed.
Suddenly, though, Jim's business was at risk. He made very few mistakes, and calculated his costs and the time that a job would take very accurately. BUt rhe had forgotten that generally clubs have repairs done between the end of one football season and the start of the next. Now no mjor jobs were coming in.
After buying a replacement van, as his old one was beyond repair, he could only just cover Alec's wages and his own. But without more work he had no future. The solution was something more regular, and he decided to produce turnstiles, as well as repair them. For an investment like this, though, he needed help, and he persuaded his bank to give him a loan.
From then on, Cartwright Turnstile Services just grew and grew and now employs three full-time workers.
Why was Jim Cartwright confident about starting a business repairing turnstiles?

A．He had learnt from mistakes that his previous employer made.

B．He had a lot of contacts with possible customers.

C．He had experience of doing the work in his previous job.
