    Reading Comprehension
    Read the following paragraphs carefully and choose the correct answers from the
    options given below
    These huge waves wreak terrific damage when they crash on the shores of distant lands
    or continents. Under a perfectly sunny sky and from an apparently calm sea, a wall of
    water may break twenty or thirty feet high over beaches and waterfronts, crushing houses
    and drowning unsuspecting residents and bathers in its path.

    How are these waves formed? When a submarine earthquake occurs, it is likely to set up a
    tremendous amount of shock, disturbing the quite waters of the deep ocean. This
    disturbance travels to the surface and forms a huge swell in the ocean many miles across.
    It rolls outward in all directions, and the water lowers in the centre as another as another
    swell looms up. Thus a series of concentric swells are formed similar to those made when
    a coin or small pebble is dropped into a basin of water. The big difference is in the size.
    Each of the concentric rings of basin water traveling out toward the edge is only about an
    inch across and less than a quarter of an inch high. The swells in the ocean are sometimes
    nearly a mile wide and rise to several multiple of ten feet in height.

    Bo

    ok

    Many of us have heard about these waves, called "tsunami". Nothing was done about
    tsunamis until after World War II. An underwater earthquake in the Aleutian Islands
    could start a swell that would break along the shores and cause severe damage. These
    waves travel hundreds of miles an hour, and one can understand how they would crash!

    (A) are formed in concentric patterns
    (B) often strike during clear weather
    (C) arise under conditions of cold temperature
    (D) are produced by deep swells
    15. It is believed that the waves are caused by
    (A) seismic changes
    (B) concentric time belts
    (C) underwater earthquakes
    (D) storms
    16. The normal maximum width of the waves is approximately
    (A) one mile
    (B) five miles
    (C) five feet
    (D) ten feet
