The great ship Titanic sailed for New York from South Hampton on April 10th, 1912. It was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the Titanic was a colossal ship.

Even if two of these were flooded, it would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for it went down on her maiden voyage with a heavy loss of life.Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted.

The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. The captain went down to see what had happened. He realised to his horror that the Titanic was smoking rapidly. Five of her sixteen water-light compartments had already been flooded. The order to abandon the ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there Were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.The Titanic was regarded as unsinkable because:

A. it was a huge ship.
B. it had sixteen water-tight compartments.
C. it was a modern equipment.
D. it had a remarkable speed.
E. None of these
Answer» C. it was a modern equipment.

Human beings who get irritated by other people or situations around them only manage to make themselves angry. But oysters produce one of the most valuable gems when they get irritated. Oysters are a kind of shellfish found mostly at the bottom of the sea. There are many kinds of oysters like calms, conchs, mussels, scallops and others. An oyster is shaped like an oval box with a lid. Usually the oyster keeps its lid slightly open. Some kinds of oysters are edible and considered to be a delicacy.A fleshy layer of the skin lines the inner side of the oyster and is called the mantle. Sometimes a grain of sand or some other object gets in through the open space and irritates the mantle. The mantle tries to stop this irritation by making layers and layers of shell inside it.The layers cover the irritating grain of sand or object till it is covered. This process takes several years and it eventually produces one of the most valuable gems - the PEARL.Pearls come in many different colours like pink, orange, gold, cream, white or dark grey They also come in varied shapes like round, button-shaped and drop-shaped. Based on shapes, round pearls, which are used for necklaces, are the most valuable. Among colours, the dark grey pearls are the ones that fetch the maximum price.So, the next time you find yourself getting irritated by someone or something, ask yourself if getting angry adds to your value!For an oyster to make a pearl it takes:

A. a few weeks.
B. a few days.
C. several years.
D. several months.
E. None of these
Answer» D. several months.
