MCQ..

One of the most famous works of art in the world is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Nearly everyone who goes to see the
original will already be familiar with it from reproductions, but they accept that fine art is more rewardingly viewed in its
original form. However, if Mona Lisa was a famous novel, few people would bother to go to a museum to read the
writer’s actual manuscript rather than a printed reproduction. This might be explained by the fact that the novel has
evolved precisely because of technological developments that made it possible to print out huge numbers of texts,
whereas oil paintings have always been produced as unique objects. In addition, it could be argued that the practice of
interpreting or ‘reading’ each medium follows different conventions. With novels, the reader attends mainly to the
meaning of words rather than the way they are printed on the page, whereas the ‘reader’ of a painting must attend just
as closely to the material form of marks and shapes in the picture as to any ideas they may signify.

MCQ.. 2

The use of hot-air balloons can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history (220-280 AD). Zhuge Liang
used these early incarnations, known as Kongming lanterns, as military signals. The first manned flight on record took
place in France on October 15th, 1783. In a balloon constructed by Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier, a Frenchman named
Pilatre de Rozier was elevated eighty feet off the ground. Modern hot-air balloons, with their capacity to ascend or
descend and occasionally ‘steer’ at the pilot’s will, were first developed by Ed Yost in the 1950s. The Bristol Belle is
generally regarded as the first modern hot-air balloon and had its inaugural flight in 1967. Since then, balloon

MCQ..4

As, over the last four hundred years, tea-leaves became available throughout much of Asia and Europe, the ways in
which tea was drunk changed. The Chinese considered the quality of the leaves and the ways in which they were cured
are essential. People in other cultures added new ingredients besides tea-leaves and hot water. They drank tea with
milk, sugar, spices like cinnamon and cardamom, and herbs such as mint or sage. The variations are endless. For
example, in Western Sudan, on the edge of the Sahara Desert, sesame oil is added to milky tea on cold mornings. In
England, tea, unlike coffee, acquired a reputation as a therapeutic drink that promoted health. Indeed, in European and
Arab countries as well as in Persia and Russia, tea was praised for its restorative and health-giving properties. One Dutch
physician, Cornelius Blankaart, advised that to maintain health, a minimum of eight to ten cups a day should be drunk
