Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of the question below.

Antonio lives in the city of Valencia in Spain. Every year he goes to La Tomatina Festival in Bunol, a town near Valencia. The festival is on the last Wednesday in August, when everyone comes into the main square to throw tomatoes at each other. Before the fun begins, people cover the shop windows with plastic. Antonio always wears his oldest clothes so he doesn’t get his best clothes dirty. He also always puts his camera in a plastic bag to keep it clean. In the morning trucks arrive in the main square, the Plaza del Pueblo, bringing more than 100,000 kilos of tomatoes. The fight begins at 11 o’clock and always last for two hours. At exactly 1 o’clock everyone stops. They never throw tomatoes after 1 o’clock. They then usually spend the rest of the day cleaning themselves and the town! In the evening, Antonio usually watches the fireworks, eats the local food and sometimes joins in the dancing.
