Read the passage. Then answer the questions.
Oil is obtained from seeds of various sorts and from certain kinds of fruit, but the most highly esteemed oil for the table, the very queen of oils, is that which we get from the olive, the fruit of the olive-tree. In size it is not a tall tree, usually attaining about twice the height of a man. Its head is rounded, not very dense in growth, its leaves are narrow, of an ashen-green color, and do not fall in winter. The olive is green at first. The flesh covering its hard stone, which is pointed at both ends, has the most disagreeable taste you can imagine. Later when the winter comes, in November and December, olives change from green to reddish, and finally turn black. Then the skin wrinkles and the flesh ripen, losing its tartness and becoming rich in oil. That is the time for harvesting the fruit. Olives that are black, very ripe, and wrinkled, can at a pinch be eaten just as they come from the tree, in spite of a slight harshness of flavor. Sometimes they are merely soaked in salt water. But however they may be prepared, black olives are never equal to green ones. The most ill-flavored olives as they hang on the tree are the best when once freed of their extremely disagreeable taste. Lastly the olives, now a beautifully green color and an agreeable taste, are salted down in brine, which insures their preservation and corrects any undo sweetness of flavor. Answer each question,
1. Which oil is the Queen of the Oils?
2. Give the description of olive tree?
3. When do olives become rich in oil?
4. How olives be preserved?
5. Do you like olives?
