Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given bellow it.

Of man’s earliest invention we knew very little. The first may have been the use of

stone to crack nuts. The next was possibly the use of a stick strike an enemy. Once man found

that stick and stone were useful, it was only a step further to the making of a rude weapon by

fastening a stone to the end of stick. Man used stick and stones long before he dare to meddle

with fire, for the early man like all wild creatures dreaded the fire. Fire of course, existed, for

lightning must sometimes have set the forests ablaze just as it does today, and in those days

volcanoes were much more active than they now are. The forgotten hero who first dare to

tame fire to his own use was the greatest to early inventors, for once man had fire he was

master of all lower creatures.
