IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the

For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown
with slits on either side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or
silk. In feudal times(phong kiến), there were strict dress codes. Ordinary people
were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes rather than black, brown or white.
Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red were
reserved for high ranking court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively
worn by petty court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along with social
development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to modern-looking
suits, while business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts
and wide trousers. Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being
made to restore traditional festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional
costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an "ao tu than"
which is brown or light brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower
section. The second layer is a pink gown. When a woman wears her three gowns,
she fastens the buttons on the side, and leave those on the chest unfastened so that it
forms a shaped collar. This allows her to show the different colors on the upper part
of the three gowns. Today, on formal occasions women wear "ao dai".
