VIII. Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They learned
mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language. Eventually cultures
around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed, they set up schools to teach reading,
writing, Maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and powerful
families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures the religious leaders
formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools focused on
military training. Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills
were meant to help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other useful skills.
Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The governments of
some countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a regular part
of formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers’ colleges opened. The
