Questions 16–20
Five sentences have been removed from the text below.
For each question, choose the correct answer.
There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.
Color Coding
We all know today that, when we look at a traffic light,
A After this accident, the railroads decided to drop white
and make green "go" and yellow "caution."
B They liked the idea of using just two colors and decided
to change the system.
C They never used the three colors again for fear of
causing more accidents.

green means "go," yellow means "slow down and prepare to
stop" and that red is a clear and consistent warning to stop.
But where, when and how did this idea of using colors to
communicate information begin? Color coding appeared a long
time ago, and some think it has to do with the way we interpret
colors. Let's take red, for example. 16 Even Roman legions
carried the red banner of the war god Mars into battle. 17
D One problem was the fact that the white signal could
easily be confused with an ordinary white light.
E Later, in the early 1920s, the first automatic traffic
signals installed in Detroit used red, yellow and green.
F This meant that yellow was necessary for the color
coding system that we use today.
G Experts say that the color of blood has been a signal of
danger since time immemorial.

The tradition among railroaders says that red was chosen for H However, the current system of color coding was
evident in railroads around the time of World War I.
"stop" in commemoration of a farmer who would wave at an
early railroad train with his red shirt.

The other colors we see in traffic lights today have changed

over time. In the first primitive railroad signaling devices, which
were developed between the 1830s and 1840s, red meant "stop,"
green meant "caution" and clear (i.e. white) meant "go."
This system had several defects. 18 This was tragically
demonstrated sometime in 1914, when the red lens fell out of
a signal and erroneously showed a white light. This caused a
train to cross through the "stop" signal, resulting in a disastrous
crash. 19 They probably chose yellow because it was very
visible and clearly contrasted with the other two colors. When
the first electric traffic signals were installed in Cleveland, Ohio,
in 1914, they used red and green signals. 20 This is the
color code we still use today.
