Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions
When we go and watch a movie in the cinema, we see real people moving and talking on a big
screen in front of us. But how are movies filmed and shown to us? In actual fact, movies do not
really ‘move’ like we think they do. It is our eyes that play tricks on us and make the movies
look as if they are moving. A movie is filmed using a camera which takes pictures at a very fast
speed. The camera can take 24 pictures in one second! If it is taking pictures of somebody
walking, the pictures will show the different movements of the person in that one second. Since
the pictures are taken so quickly, the difference between each picture is very slight. The
pictures are developed into long strips of film which are then shown, using a film projector. As
we watch, 24 pictures flash before our eyes every second. The pictures go by so fast that we
cannot see each one by itself. What we see is just one picture that seems to move. Our eyes play
a part by blending the pictures with each other. The same method applies to cartoons. In a
cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the camera takes pictures of drawings. Many
drawings have to be made just to show a simple action. Each drawing is again made only
slightly different from the others. The drawings are then photographed orderly. When
