Read this passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

There is always a hustle and bustle of people in a typical city, especially at closing period when shops and offices were closing and workers were hurrying home, some in their private cars, others trying to catch a commercial vehicle, while those who couldn't stand the rush to enter a bus or a cab jump on motorcycles popularly called Okada. It was at the peak of that rush hour that Oshoke arrived in Lagos.

Oshoke had never seen so many people on the streets or so many vehicles on the road, and so when he dropped at the popular Yaba bus stop, he felt suddenly lost like a man lifted from the ground without any warning or explanation.

Another observation that stupefied him was not just the number of motorcycles that move like a swarm of ants, but the way each rider appears to be oblivious of any other vehicle or human being around them, posing a grave danger to life.

In his stupor, somebody tapped his shoulder and all of a sudden, he left empty, the way a young woman feels when her skirt unexpectedly falls in the middle of a busy street. But he managed to turn to meet the hard cold eyes of a man glaring at him, 'what is the problem?' the voice reminded him of a lions roar. As Oshoke later admitted it was the perfect voice with which to wake a dead man.

Oshoke was later to learn from the stranger that the taxis had the worst drivers even though drivers generally in the cities see every other driver on the road as a rival-an enemy to be conquereD. One minute they would be overtaking other cars, the next stopping in the middle of the road to pick up fares without any signal to other drivers or road users of their intentions.

Pedestrians seemed always in danger of their lives as they tried to run across the road whenever there was a lull in the traffic.

Why was Oshoke bewildered?

A. he thought the stranger would attack him
B. he suddenly felt cold
C. the rowdiness of Lagos
D. he was frightened because of the car and people in Lagos.
