'Wrong' (B)? If there is not enough information to answer 'Right' (A) or 'Wrong' (B), choose 'Doesn't

MADAME TUSSAUDS
Madame Tussauds is a famous wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities.
It has a lot of famous people made from wax. Wax is a solid substance that becomes soft when warm and
melts easily. It comes from bees and is often used to make candles. Many people visit wax museums
because the sculptures look like they are real.
A visit to Madame Tussauds wouldn't be complete without meeting the Royal Family. Dating
back over ten centuries, the Monarchy has played an important role in the UK, but rather than reading all
about it in a dusty history book you'll meet history's royalties face to face at Madame Tussauds! You can
plant a kiss on Prince William's cheek, or shake Prince Charles's hand.
Of course the late Queen Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales are here too looking as beautiful as ever.
Finally, travel back in time to the Tudor times. Ever heard of Henry VIII? He ruled England in
the sixteenth century and is mostly known for his six wives and for declaring himself head of the new
Church of England.
Example:
0 There are many branches of Madame Tussauds
