Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 11 to 20.
The flag, the most common symbol of national identity in the modern world, is also one of the
most ancient. The traditional flag of fabric is still used to mark buildings, ships, and diplomatic cars
of nations, but its visual design makes it adaptable for other roles as well. Most flags have a
compact, rectangular shape and distinct visual symbolism. Their strong colors and geometric
patterns are usually instantly recognizable even if miniaturized to less than a square centimeter.
Images of flags can thus serve as identifying icons on airliners, television broadcasts, and computer
displays.
Despite its simplicity, the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It
is, rather, the product of millennia of development in many corners of the globe. Historians believe
it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to indicate wind direction. Early human
societies used very fragile shelters and boats. Their food sources were similarly vulnerable to
disruption. For all these reasons, they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could
bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
[I] Some nations, particularly those whose colors and emblems date back several hundred
years, have different flags for different official uses. [II] For example, the flag of Poland is a
simple rectangle with a white upper half and red lower half. [III] They originated as the colors of
the Piast family, which during its rule displayed a crest bearing a white eagle on a red field. [IV]
Homage is paid to the Piast Dynasty in the Polish ensign, the flag officially used at sea. Unlike the
familiar plain flag flown on land, the ensign has a red shield with a white eagle centered on its
upper white stripe.
Question 11. The word “miniaturized” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ___________.

Question 13. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 1?
A. While being one of the most ancient symbols of identity, the flag is now not as recognizable as
they were in the past because of digital media.
B. Television broadcasts continue to use the flag, an ancient symbol of identity because its design is
distinct and easily recognizable.
C. The flag, an ancient symbol of identity, remains widely used for different purposes in the
modern world due to its distinct, recognizable design.
D. Having been used for centuries as a symbol of identity, the flag has gradually lost its original
purposes and is now mainly used on digital media.
Question 14. The word “primitive” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ____________.
A. ugly B. complex C. modern D. basic
