JAWAPAN

1. In a mountainous area of central Ethiopia are to be found eleven Christian churches, known as the “Lalibela churches”. Dating from the 13th century, today they are famed for a remarkable feature of their construction. What is it?

D) They were hewn in place from solid rock

The village where these remarkable churches are situated is named for King Lalibela, who is said to have ordered their construction upon divine instructions he received while in a coma following an attempted assassination before he came to the throne. They were carved with great technical skill from the area’s red volcanic rock, each church having its own dimensions and design. Some of them are interconnected by underground passages.

2. Bach and Handel
J.S. Bach and George Frederick Handel were born only 130 km (80 miles) and one month apart, but never met, in part because Handel lived and worked abroad for much of his life. There was, however, an interesting connection between the two men, namely:

C) Both were operated on by the same surgeon

Bach and Handel both suffered from blindness in later life, and both sought the help of a surgeon named John Taylor. Not only did he fail to help either composer, but — though he had managed to have himself appointed eye doctor to George II — he was a notorious quack, described by Samuel Johnson as “an instance of how far impudence will carry ignorance”.

3.Cotard’s syndrome is a rare disorder associated with manic-depression, schizophrenia and some other brain illnesses. The Cotard’s victim often suffers from a particular delusion, believing that he or she is:

A) Dead

French neurology pioneer Jules Cotard in 1880 was the first to describe the syndrome that now bears his name. He called it “le délire des négations”, the delusion of negation. Patients may report that they have lost all their possessions, or some or all of their body, and the sense of loss often extends to life itself. Those claiming to be dead may view themselves as altogether lifeless and awaiting burial, or as zombie-like walking corpses.

4.Douglas Bader, a World War II British flying ace, had a remarkable and distinguished military career despite a serious physical handicap. Specifically, Bader:

A) Had suffered amputation of both legs

Bader lost his legs, one above and one below the knee, in a flying accident as a young man. Following an arduous convalescence, and extensive training with the newly-developed lightweight artificial legs, he was eventually allowed to rejoin the air force. The remarkable story of his rehabilitation and subsequent military achievements was told in the book Reach for the Sky, which was made into a film in 1956.

5.In 1972, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established the World Heritage List to help protect important sites embodying the world’s cultural and natural heritage. What is the largest World Heritage Area?

A) The Great Barrier Reef (Australia)

The Great Barrier Reef is by far the largest World Heritage Area, covering over 34 million hectares (131,000 sq. mi.). The most extensive coral reef system in the world, it evolved over hundreds of thousands of years and now is home to a wide diversity of sea life and birds, including the endangered green sea turtle and the dugong. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981, and divided into "Protection Zones" that restrict extraction activities. The Great Barrier Reef is threatened by climate change, since the coral is sensitive to rising ocean temperatures.

6.Before Europeans explored the Indian Ocean and the coasts of Africa, the Chinese had explored the east coast of Africa and perhaps even doubled the Cape of Good Hope. However, China’s period of exploration ended abruptly when:

B) Ming emperors prohibited foreign trade

From 1405 to 1433, the great Chinese admiral Cheng Ho explored the Indian ocean, bringing back tribute and exotic treasures to the Chinese court. He is even said to have brought back a giraffe from Africa. Cheng Ho’s ‘treasure ships’ were Chinese junks, five times the size of Portuguese caravels.

7.Which of the following instruments is NOT used for navigation?

C) Theodolite

A theodolite is an instrument used by surveyors. The nocturnal was used in the Renaissance to tell the time at night from the North Star, while the astrolabe and sextant helped determine latitude by measuring the altitude of heavenly bodies.

8.What does exiguous mean?

C) Small, scanty

Exiguous comes from the Latin exiguus meaning scanty in measure or number. The English word retains that sense, but can also be used to mean extremely small, diminutive, minute. Exiguous is often used with reference to such mundane matters as income and resources, but may venture farther afield, as when Eric Linklater uses it to describe a nymph’s costume in his short story “The Abominable Imprecation”.

9.In the well-known fairy tale Puss in Boots, a cat is able to help its master from poverty to riches through a series of clever ploys. What special function did the boots have for the cat?

A) They protected its feet while walking out of doors

The cat asks its master for a pair of boots at the beginning of the story, giving as its reason only "that I may scamper through the dirt and the brambles". However, there is little in the story to indicate that the boots were really required other than as finery.

10.The song, “In an English Country Garden” celebrates the abundance of flowers to be found in those gardens. Among others, the song names roses, foxgloves, snowdrops and:

A) Forget-me-nots

The song goes on to list some of the numerous insects, such as fireflies, moths, gnats and bees, and songbirds, such as bobolink, cuckoo and quail, that are also found in an English country garden.
