Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below

The pearl is considered one of the most beautiful jewels. It is one gem that is not dug up from a mine in the earth. It is grown in the shell of an Oyster. The Oyster makes the pearl as a means of self protection. Sometimes a hard tiny object like a grain of sand gets inside the shell. It irritates the soft sensitive flesh. To protect itself from the object, the Oyster begins to cover the object with a thick fluid from its own body. When this layer hardens, irritation begins again. Another layer is added. This goes on for many years - until finally the Oyster has produced a beautiful pearl.
