Read the following passage and then answer the questions given below.
Passage 1
Food contains only minute quantities of the substances called vitamins, but they are
vital for good health. For example, if you eat a diet of meat, bread, sugar, and fat, you may
become ill with a disease called scurvy. This is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which
is found in fruit and vegetables.
About fifty different vitamins have been identified, and a deficiency in many of these
can lead to illness. Vitamin A is most important for good eyesight, but is also important
for general good health. Liver contains a considerable amount of vitamin A, but vitamin A
is also found in fish, meat, milk, butter, some fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin B in fact consists of twelve different chemicals, which are found in eggs,
cheese, butter, wholemeal flour and vegetables. If a person has an inadequate amount of
vitamin B in his diet, this may affect his whole body, particularly the skin, the nervous
system and the heart. Deficiency in vitamin B results in a disease called beri-beri.
Vitamin C prevents scurvy and helps to heal injuries. Some doctors believe that large
quantities of vitamin C help people to avoid colds. Fruits and uncooked vegetables are rich
in vitamin C, but when they are overcooked, or left for a long time, they lose most of their
vitamins.
Vitamin D is essential for the growth of bones and teeth and is found in fish, liver, oil
and milk. Vitamin D is the only vitamin which the body can make for itself, but it can only
do this if there is sufficient sunlight. A lack of both sunlight and vitamin D can result in a
I.A. 1-10. To the
disease called rickets, which causes bones to soften and to be deformed.

Passage 2
“The Earth is a solid sphere. It is made up of three concentric spheres or layers. These
are called the core, the mantle, and the crust. The solid sphere is surrounded by a gaseous
sphere, which is called the atmosphere. We know most about the crust of the Earth which
is the outermost sphere. This layer is very thin compared with the diameter of the whole
Earth. It is only about 10 km thick under the ocean and about 30 km thick on land. It
consists of rock which contains a lot of minerals. The mantle is much thicker than the
crust. It is about 300 km thick. It consists mainly of rocks, but we do not know much about
their composition. The core, which is situated inside the mantle, is divided into two parts.
The inner core is about 2800 km in diameter. We believe that it is mainly composed of
iron, but it also contains about 10% nickel. The layer surrounding the inner core is called
the outer core and is approximately 2000 km thick. It is probably composed of molten iron
and nickel.”
