Answer 6

After the cacophony ofscreeching brakes and grinding gears, there followed the comparatively static
hum of engines, and drivers waited in exasperation for the next lurch forwards. For the moment there
was a lull, curious on that highway. Then the waiting very quickly began to fray at the edges. The sun
was beating on the metal of the vehicles, and the road lay flattened across the parched plain, with no
trees to screen it from the sun. First one car horn began to honk, then a bicycle rickshaw began to
clang its bell, then a truck blared its musical horn, and then the lesser ones began to go pom­pom,
pom­pom almost in harmony, and suddenly, out of the centre of all that noise, a long, piercing wail
emerged.
