2.

Lacquer was a kind of glue.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Lacquer is not a kind of glue. Lacquer is a clear or colored varnish that is applied to the surface of an object to give it a glossy finish. It is commonly used in woodworking and furniture making to enhance the appearance and protect the surface. Glue, on the other hand, is an adhesive substance used to join two or more materials together. Therefore, the statement that lacquer is a kind of glue is false.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Papier-mache is a technique where paper is mixed with a paste or glue to create a strong and durable material. By layering multiple sheets of paper and allowing them to dry, the resulting object can become quite sturdy.

Therefore, it is possible for objects made of papier-mache to be very strong.

Sample Question
Artist Peter Fuller talks about his hobby There’s a popular idea that artists are not supposed to be into sport, but mountain biking is a huge part of my life. It gets me out of my studio, and into the countryside. But more importantly, racing along as fast as you can leaves you no time to worry about anything that’s going on in your life. You’re too busy concentrating on not crashing. The only things you pay attention to are the pain in your legs and the rocks on the path in front of you. I’m in my sixties now, but I started cycling when I was a kid. In the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes into the woods and see who was brave enough to go down steep hills, or do big jumps. The bikes we had then weren’t built for that, and often broke, so I used to draw pictures of bikes with thick tyres that would be strong enough for what we were doing. They looked just like modern mountain bikes. However, it wasn’t until many years later that someone actually invented one. By the 1980s, they were everywhere. At that time I was into skateboarding. I did that for a decade until falling off on to hard surfaces started to hurt too much. Mountain biking seemed a fairy safe way to keep fit, so I took that up instead. I made a lot of friends, and got involved in racing, which gave me a reason to train hard. I wanted to find out just how fit and fast I could get, which turned out to be fairly quick. I even won a couple of local races. In the end I stopped racing, mainly because I knew what it could mean to my career if I had a bad crash. But I still like to do a three-hour mountain bike ride every week. And if I’m out cycling in the hills and see a rider ahead, I have to beat them to the top. As I go past I imagine how surprised they would be if they knew how old I am. Peter enjoys mountain biking because ....

Sample Question
Based on the passage, answer questions 1-5 "There is a place forty kilometers northeast of Portland, Victoria, which makes for an unusual visit. It is Lake Condah. Here are to be found remains of aboriginal settlements: the circular stone bases of several hundred huts, rock-lined water channels, and stone tools chipped from rock not normally found in the area. One of the attractions of Lake Condah long ago was its fish, and the most startling evidence of aboriginal technology and engineering to be found there are the systems built to trap fish. Watercourses had been constructed by redirecting streams, building stone sides, and even scraping out new channels. At strategic spots, they piled rocks across the watercourses to create weirs and build funnels to channel eels and fish into conical baskets. This is an eel-fishing technique that has hardly changed to the present day. Besides some of the larger traps, there are the outlines of rectangular, stone-lined ponds, probably to hold fish and keep them fresh. On the bluffs overlooking the lake, stone circles are all that remains of ancient dwellings. Not all of the stones were quarried locally. The huts vary in size, but all have gaps for doorways located on the lee side, away from the prevailing wind. One theory is that the stone walls were only waist to shoulder high, with the top roofed by branches and possibly packed with mud. The site presents a picture of semi-settled people quite different from the stereotype of nomadic hunter-gatherers of the desert." The word 'stereotype,' as used in the above passage, means:
