Question

Q2. Read the passage and complete the sentences given below the
passage by choosing the most appropriate option from those given:-

The ship is man's oldest and most important means of transportation. Today,
thousands of ships cross oceans, sail along sea coasts and ply inland waterways.
Trade among countries depends heavily on ships. Many kinds of ships are used to
carry goods and people. Giant tankers haul petroleum, vegetable oil, wine and
other liquids. Other vessels carry cargoes such as grain, ore and sand. Passenger
liners carry travellers across the oceans. Man's first 'ship' was probably a log that
he used to cross a river. He probably used his hands to paddle the log. Later, he
learned to build rafts by lashing logs together. In ancient Egypt, the people made
their first rafts out of bundles of reeds. Later, they learned to lash bundles of reeds
together to make boats. By about 4000 B.C., the Egyptians had learned to build
galleys. Galleys were long boats powered by a row of paddles. By about 3200
B.C., the Egyptians had invented sails and therefore, they were able to use the
6 power of the wind to propel their boats. The basic pattern for ships became set with
the invention of the sail. Shipbuilders began concentrating on designing bigger and better ships. 27 The 20th century saw some of the biggest ships in the world. The
three largest transatlantic liners launched to carry passengers across the Atlantic
during the 1960's were the 'Michelangelo', the 'Raffaello' and the 'Queen Elizabeth
II'. The ships of the future are expected to be even more efficient and will cost less
to operate.
