Question

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 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 travelers 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 BC the Egyptians had learned to build galleys. Galleys were long boats powered by a row of paddles. By about 3200 BC the Egyptians had invented sails and therefore they were able to use the 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 improved ships. The 20th century saw some of the biggest ships in the world. The three largest trans-Atlantic 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. 1.
