Question

SECTION-B (READING)
4. Read the passage and answer the questions given below.
Nature has a number of different ways of burying and does preserving the past. One
way is by volcanic eruption. The most famous example is probably the great Roman
town of Pompeii in southern Italy, which was so quickly and completely covered by
volcanic ashes from Mount Vesuvius one August day in 79 A.D that the people of the
town hardly knew what was happening to them. A second way may be observed in
another part of Europe, where the surface of the land in the valley of Alps sank
hundreds of years ago and was covered ith water and peat which preserved the
wooden houses, utensil, and weapons of the prehistoric Alpine leak dwellers. In
Egypt, drifting dry sand have preserved fragile records for thousands of years. In
Central America, the jungle buried and preserved some of the ancient cities of
prehistoric Indian peoples.
Not too long ago, archaeologists who examine buried towns were armed with only
picks and shovels and patiently dug away layers of earth. But today an archaeologist
may, instead, be diving with an aqualung working in a laboratory with chemicals and
Geiger counters, or taking aerial photographs from a plane. Archaeology has learned
new ways of finding about the past.
Another new type of archaeological activity is carried out under water. Today
archaeologists are working in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, where many
ancient ships sank and were buried in the shifting sands. When one of these ships is
discovered, an undersea 'dig' may began. Before anything is moved, divers make a
careful map of the sites so that the records can be kept of the exact position of each
relic. Then a suction pipe clears away the mud and sand. There is one more step
before the relic can actually be hauled to the surface. Divers must go down with the
pressurised cameras equipped with flashbulbs to make photographs of the contents of
the ship exactly as they were found.
