Directions for Questions 21-25: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a source of warmth and as a means
of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious ways of
making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he carried a firebrand
with him. His discovery that the firebrand, from which the torch may very well have



developed, could be used for illumination was probably incidental to the primary purpose of
preserving a flame.

Lamps, too, probably developed by accident. Early man may have had his first conception of
a lamp while watching a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a roasting
carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in it.
Such lamps, which are made of hollowed stones or sea shells, have persisted in identical
