IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the

THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio
Cervilla discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said
that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. His
invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and
oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at
atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way plant
enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because,
although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this
fabulous technology. There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the
Internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished. An
inventor from the Philippines called Daniel Dingel developed a water- fuelled car
but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to
become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and
would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes.
