Question

II. Read the comprehension and answer the following questions 5x1=5

There are three main groups of oils-animal, vegetable and mineral. Great quantities of animal oil come from

whales, creatures of the sea, which are the largest of the animals remaining in the world. To protect the

whales from the cold of the Artic seas, nature has provided them with a thick covering of fat, called blubber.

When the whale is killed, the blubber is stripped off and boiled down. It produces a great quantity of oil

which can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures yield oil, but none so much as

the whale.

The livers of the cod and halibut, two kinds of fish, yield nourishing oil. Both cod liver oil and halibut oil

are given to sick children and other invalids who need certain vitamins.

Vegetable oil has been known from very old times. No household can get on without it, for it is used in

cooking. Perfumes may be made from the oils of certain flowers. Soaps are made from eatable and animal

products and the oils of certain flowers.
