Question

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.


Oil originated in the sea. This statement is confirmed if we look at a map showing the chief oilfields of the world. Very few
of them are far distant from the oceans of today. The rocks in which oil is found were also formed in the sea. They are called
sedimentary rocks. These are the rocks which were formed on the bed of ocean by mud, sand, gravel etc. Almost always the
remains of shells, and other proofs of sea life, are found close to the soil. A very common sedimentary rock is called shale, which is a soft rock and was obviously formed by being deposited on
the sea bed.The oil found in natural state is called crude oil. It is treated
in refineries. The most common form of treatment is heating.When crude oil is heated, the first vapor stores are cooled and
become the finest petrol. Gas that comes off the oil later is condensed into paraffin (also called kerosene).It is used as a fuel
in heaters and lamps. Last of all the lubricating oils of various
grades are produced.
