Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.

Before the invention of clocks, humans relied on natural phenomena to track time. Early civilizations observed the movement of the sun across the sky, creating sundials to measure the passing hours. However, sundials were limited by their dependence on sunlight and were useless at night or on cloudy days.

To address this limitation, devices like water clocks and hourglasses were developed. Water clocks, dating back to ancient Egypt, used the steady flow of water into or out of a container to mark intervals of time. Hourglasses, with their iconic two bulbs of sand, offered a more portable and weather-resistant method for measuring shorter durations. Yet, these methods still lacked the precision and reliability of a true clock.

The invention of the mechanical clock in the 14th century revolutionized timekeeping. These early clocks used a system of gears and weights, later incorporating a pendulum for increased accuracy. While initially found in churches and town squares, smaller, spring-powered clocks gradually became commonplace in homes.

This evolution of timekeeping technology, from observing the skies to intricate mechanical devices, profoundly impacted human life. Clocks enabled greater control over daily schedules, facilitated trade and transportation, and ultimately paved the way for the precise timekeeping essential to our modern world.

Question 31

What is the main topic of this reading passage?

  1. The disadvantages of sundials compared to modern clocks.
  2. The importance of time management in modern society.

  1. They are only useful at night.
  2. They are affected by changes in the weather.
  3. They are not as accurate as mechanical clocks.
  4. They are difficult to transport.

Question 34

Which of these timekeeping methods is NOT mentioned in the passage?

  1. Sundials
  2. Hourglasses
  3. Atomic clocks
  4. Water clocks

Question 35

  1. It eliminated the need for other timekeeping methods.
  2. It allowed for more precise scheduling and organization.
  3. It led to the development of more advanced scientific instruments.
