Read the text and choose the correct answer for each question.
Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States,
and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in
part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during
periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their
investments.
Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt
strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed
charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to
help themselves. “He who dies rich, dies disgraced,” he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name,
including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts,
and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part
of Camegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of

Washington to provide a center for the arts.
