VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these
trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called levis or denims,
jeans have an interesting story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants
developed. In the 16th century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique style of cotton trousers.
In French, the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name
became attached to the trousers and developed into the word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th
century, French sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was
developed in the city of Nimes, France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually
developed into denim, the material which jeans are made and an alternative name for these
popular pants.
The word levis came from a person. In the 19th century, Levis Strauss tried to sell heavy
canvas to miners taking part in the hunt for gold in northern California. He intended for this
canvas to be used by miners to make heavy-duty tents. This first attempt was a failure but he

later found success when he used the canvas to make indestructible pants for the miners. He
changed the fabric from brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived
him and is now referred to by his name.

________.
A. was the source of the word jeans
