Would it be of any use even if they build thousand flyovers when you drive like this?

Here’s a potential model question for next year’s fifth grade scholarship examination.
Background:
A and B are high profile characters in a certain country. They were good friends and considered as heroes in that country. However the duo were not in good terms lately since B was considered a threat to A’s position. But this was categorically denied by A. C is A’s ultimate henchman who holds a doctorate from an alien University. C launched an attack on B publically which made headlines in mass media.
Few days later, media reported that A has summoned C and blasted him for attacking B.
Questions:
(i). Who revealed the news of A blasting C for attacking B to the media?
(ii). Why he would have revealed it to the media?
(iii). What is your conclusion of this scenario?
Answers:
(i). The media reports do not indicate the presence of any other person at the time A blasted C for attacking B. C is unlikely to reveal it to the media since he is the embarrassed and ashamed party in the given situation. Therefore A has revealed it to the media.
(ii). Since C is A’s ultimate henchman, C wouldn’t have done anything without the backing of A. When C’s act made headlines in mass media, A wanted to get his hands off the situation. So A summoned C, had a fake go at him and leaked the news to the media to clear his name.
(iii). A and C are smarter than a fifth grader, but none of us are.

On a day like today, I cried. You were happily kicking and playing in your mommy’s tummy. It was heaven for you. But you didn’t know what was going to happen to you the next day. You didn’t want to come out but we did. We were going to take you out forcibly from the heaven and I couldn’t bear it. I apologized; I said sorry many a time and I couldn’t keep it tight any more. I cried the whole night.
When you were taken out the next day, you cried a lot too. We could hardly stop you. I was lost in excitement and didn’t really feel happy or sad. But what a gift you have been since then! I have not been good to you some times but what an angel you have been all the time! Thank you for making our lives so fulfilled and we owe you so much for that. Many happy returns of the day Sweetheart!
