Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Almost every language in the world has dialects, and American English is no exception. At the
present time there is an interesting study on American speech habits. This study has shown that different
words are frequently used in different parts of the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east,
Americans use the word “soda” to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a soft drink is “tonic”. Such
differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens.
Speech and life all over the world have often changed. New words are being used when new
discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines what is correct and incorrect. Fifty
years ago, it was incorrect to say “It’s me”. But today it is acceptable simply because most Americans say
that instead of “It’s I”. people change, so language changes. What is wrong today may be right tomorrow.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It is also the highest trash pile in the world. About 400

had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt
to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made
a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They
