Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. I did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card- which is a horror unto itself, especially as the keeper of the big card was leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on the spot, a rabbit in the headlights, torn between doing a fun message, some sort of in-joke or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options available to me, I decided to just write 'Good luck, best, Joel'. It was then that I realized, to my horror, that I had forgotten how to write. My entire existence is 'tap letters into computers'. My shopping lists are hidden in the notes function of my phone. If I need to remember something I send an e-mail to myself. A pen is something I chew when I am struggling to think. Paper is something I pile beneath my laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to type on. A poll of 1000 teens by the stationers, Bic found that one in 10 don't own a pen, a third have never written a letter, and half of 13 to 19 years-old have never been forced to sit down and write a thank you letter. More than 80% have never written a love letter, 56% don't have letter paper at home and a quarter has never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most a teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper. Bic, have you heard of mobile phones? Have you heard of E-mail, Facebook and Snap- chatting? This is the future. Pens are dead. Paper is dead. Handwriting is a relic. "Handwriting is one of the most creative outlets we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching, painting or photography". (5x 1 = 5) 1. According to the author, which one is not the more creative outlet of the pursuit? 2. When confronted with signing a big card, the author felt like "a rabbit in the headlights". What does this phrase mean? I. A state of pain II. A state of confusion III. A state of pleasure IV. A state of happiness
