Question

Read the Following Passage and answer the questions that follow: The word ‘petroleum’ comes from the Latin phrasepetraoleum. The word petra means ‘rocks’ and oleummeans ‘oil’. Thus ‘petroleum’ means mineral oil that forms underground and is obtained from wells sunk into the ground.Petroleum and its products are of great importance to modern life. These products include gasoline (petrol), kerosene (paraffin), diesel oil, fuel oil, lubricants, bitumen, and wax. No industrialist can do without them. Petrol is used in motor cars. Kerosene is used in oil lamps. Diesel oil is used in diesel engines for buses, lorries and ships. Fuel oil is burned to make steam in the boilers of steam ships and in furnaces of many kinds, such as used in the manufacture of steel, glass and pottery. Lubricants are the oils and greases needed to make machinery of any kind run smoothly and easily. Bitumen is used in asphalt (a black sticky substance used for making roads.)Petroleum is probably formed from dead plant and animal life of the seas. The dead remains decayed on the seabed until only fatty and oily substances were left. These substances became buried under mud and as time went on the mud was squeezed into a layer of rock, while the oily substances were changed into petroleum and gas.
