Answer 2

a) The pain increased until Julie was near passing out is the option in which the meaning of ‘passing’ is not the same.

• The word passing, present in the sentence, “ some are passing into history”, used in the passage, implies that the object or the qualities discussed in the passage prior to this sentence is now being owned and adapted by history or is making its way towards being considered as old and antique.
