Part 3. The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Underline the mistakes and write their correct forms in the space provided in the column on the right. (0) has been done as an example. (0). reason -> reasons
There are numerous reason behind the choice of clothing we make, ranging from the practice to the bizarre, but in every likelihood humans began wearing clothes in order to shield themselves of the elements.
‘The Iceman’, found mummifying in the ice of a glacier on the Italian-Austrian border in 1991, was still clad with remarkably well-preserved garments which would obviously have protected him from the rain and cold five thousand years ago.
The clothing worn by people living in warmer climates further illustrates this basic function of clothing. In hot, dry desert regions, people tend to wear cool, flowing materials which cover much of body, including the head. This helps keep them cool during the heat of the day and helps to keep the wearer warm at night when temperatures increase dramatically. On the other hand, many peoples living in tropical regions, with their constant high temperatures and humidity, are sparse clothed.
Not all clothing is functional, moreover, and at different times throughout history people, 3
especially women, have worn clothes which are impractical – restricting the wearer’s movements and in some cases cause physical discomfort. Examples of such restrictive clothing can be seen in the hooped and corseted gowns worn by wealthy women in the 18th century, and in the opulent, heavy robes traditionally worn by royalties. Such customs send a clear message that the wearer does not need to work but occupies a position in society that others can be commanded to work for them.
C. READING COMPREHENSION

He (3)__________ out a living selling burgers and he is paid a pittance. He is (4)__________at the bank and horibly behind with his rent. His life is a succession of unpaid bills, (5)___________debts and angry exchanges with his bank manager. Bob needs a plan. So he asks his parents for money. It’s not a bad plan as plans go. His parents aren’t short of a bob or two. They could help him to (6)__________his debts and get back on his feet again. “Money doesn’t grow on trees, Bob. We can’t afford (7)__________you that kind of money.” His mother – the women who spends money like there is no tomorrow. “Tighten your (8)_________, son. We haven’t got that kind of money.” His father – the man who spent close (9)_________$4,000 on a set of plastic chairs for the garden, who’s got thousands tucked (10)__________in a Swiss bank. Rejected, dejected. Bob returns to his miserable flat and the ever-shifting mountain of brown envelopes that are stacked high on his doormat. Despair gathers him in and whisper in his ear – he is doomed to a life of abject poverty.

One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the great pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheop in 1720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of this construction makes it truly one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen – acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The 4 sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the great pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent type of timeline of events – past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and currently under investigation.
