Example:
In
English, there are many different kinds of expressions that people use to give
a name to anything whose name is unknown or momentarily forgotten. The word
gadget is one such word. It was first used by British sailors in the 1850s and
probably came from the French word gachette, which was a small hook. In
everyday use, the word has a more general meaning. Other words are also used to
give a name to something unnamed or unknown, and these words tend to be
somewhat imaginative. Some of the more commonly used expressions are a what-dye-call
it, at what is, a thingamabob, a thingamajig, a doodad, or a doohickey.
Which of the following is NOT true about the word gadget?.
A- It is used to name something when
the name is not known.
B- It was used at the beginning of the
nineteenth century.
C- It most likely came from a word in
the French language.
D- Its first known use was by British
sailors.
The one answer that is not true:
the passage states that the word “gadget”…was first used by British sailors in
the 1850s, which is in the middle of the nineteenth century, so answer B is the
best answer to this question, therefore the correct answer is (B)
