Comprehension (MCQ)
30th March 2022
A few centuries ago, an Italian traveler landed in a port on the western cost of India. On looking around, he was surprised
to see most of the natives spitting out blood every few minutes.
“ They must be ill,” he said to himself. What the Italian did not know was that the blood spat out by the Indians came
from betel-nut.
When a person wants to indulge in betel- chewing, he takes a betel leaf and smears some lime on it. He then sprinkles the
grated betel-nut on the leaf, folds it, pops into his mouth and chews it. His gums and lips will turn red and his teeth will
turn black if he chews betel too often.
On the Indian continent, the betel-nut played an important part in the social life of the people. It is believed that women
in the olden times used the betel-nut to redden their lips. Later, they used the betel-nut as medicine to soothe their
nerves. During a wedding ceremony, the bride’s lap was often filled with betel-leaves. This was to make sure that she
would have good fortune. An appointed person would also pour the juice of the betel-leaves upon an expectant mother’s
navel; and by noting the direction in which the juice flowed, she could predict the sex of the unborn child. Some doctor
claim that the juice of the betel-leaf is also good for people who suffer from a lack of vitamin C. It is also supposed to
relieve those with breathing difficulties. However, some medical experts say that betel- chewing may cause cancer of the
mouth.
