Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The walnut tree produces wood that is used for countless purposes, and is considered the finest
wood in the world. The wood is easy to work with, yet it is very hard and durable and when it is
polished, it produces a rich, dark luster. It also shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which
makes it especially desirable for fine furniture, flooring, and even gun stocks.
In fact, just about every part of the walnut is unusually hard and strong. The nut of the tree is
encased inside a very hard shell, which itself is enclosed in a leathery outer covering called a husk.
It requires real effort to break through those layers to get at the tasty meat inside.
Yet every part of the walnut is useful to people. The outer husk produces a dark reddish stain
that is hard to remove from the hands of the person, who opens the nut, and this pigment is widely
used in dyes and wood stains. The inner shell is used as an abrasive to clean jet engines. And the
meat of the nut is extensively used in cooking, ice cream, flavorings and just eaten raw.
Walnut trees exude a chemical into the soil near their roots which can be poisonous to some
trees and shrubs. Fruit trees, for example, will not survive if planted too close to a walnut. Many
other plants, such as maple trees or ivy, are not affected by the walnut’s presence, and are well-suited
to grow in its vicinity.
