Read the followibng passage and choose the correct answer to the question that follows:

There is an enemy beneath out feet - an enemy more deadly for his complete impartiality. he recognise no national boudaries, no political parties. everyone in the world is threatened by him. The enemy is the earth itself. When an earthquake strikes, the world trembles. the power of a quake is greater than anything man himself can produce. But today scientists are directing a great deal of their effort into finding some way of combating earhquakes, and it is possible that at some time in the near future mankind will have discovered a means of protecting itself from earthquakes. An earthquake strikes without warning. When it does, its power is immense. If it strikes a modern city, the damageit causes is as great as if it has struck a primitive village. Gas mains burst, explosions are caused and fires are started. Underground railways are wrecked. Bulidings collapse, bridges fall, dams burst, gaping crevices appear in busy streets. If the quake strikes at sea, huge tidal waves sweep inland. If it strikes in mountain regions, avalanches roar down into the valley. Consider the terrifying statistics from the past 1755 : Lisbon, Capital of Portugal - the city destroyed entirely and 450 killed. 1970 ; Peru : 50,000 killed. In 1968 an earthquake struck Alaska. As this is a relatively underpopulated part, only a few people were killed. But it is likely that this was one most powerful quakes ever to have hit the world. Geologists estimate that during the tremors, the whoole of the state moved over 80 feet farther west into the Pacific Oceab. Imagine the power of something that can move an entire subcontinent ! This is the problem that the scientists face. They are dealing with forces so immense that man cannot hope to resist them. All that can be done is to try to pinpoint just where the earthquake will strike and work from there. At least some precautionary measures can then be taken to save lives and some of the property.

Read the passage and answer the following question: 

According to the controversial sunspot theory, great storms on the surface of the sun hurl streams of solar particles into the atmosphere, causing a shift in the weather on earth.

A typical sunspot consists of a dark central umbra surrounded by a lighter penumbra or light and dark threads extending out from center like the spokes of a wheel. Actually, sunspots are cooler than the rest of the photosphere, which may account for their colour. Typically, the temperature in a sunspot umbra is about 4000k, whereas the temperature in a penumbra registers 5500k and the granules outside the spot are 6000k.

Sunspots have been observed in arrangements of one to more than one hundred spots, but they tend to occur in pairs. There is also a marked tendency for the two spots of a pair to have two opposite polarities. Furthermore, the strength of the magnetic field associated with any given spot's size. 

Although there is no theory that completely explains the nature and function of sunspots, several models attempt to relate the phenomenon to magnetic fields along the lines of longitude from the north and the south pole of the sun.

Question 52

What is the author's main purpose in the passage?

  1. AOption (a)

    to describe the nature of sunspots

  2. BOption (b)
