Potatoes grew wild in Peru, a country of South America, from where they were transplanted to other parts of the
American continent, and then to Europe. The honour of introducing this valuable vegetable into England is divided
between Sir Francis Drake in 1580 and Sir Walter Raleigh in 1586, some ascribing it to the former, and others to the
latter. It is certain that they were obtained from Virginia at the time of Raleigh; they were planted only in the gardens
of the rich people and were considered a great delicacy. They are now the staple food in most countries of Europe and
America; in Ireland, they have long provided nearly 80% of the entire food of the people.
What is the writer's conclusion about potatoes?
ANS- B
A. The potato is a root vegetable native to Ireland.
B. Potatoes are the primary source of food in many parts of the world.
C. People who increased their consumption of potatoes gained more weight over time.
D. Most families can't afford to buy potatoes.

I. Horror fiction is a genre of literature that intends to frighten its readers and it often involves supernatural
and non-supernatural characters. Focusing on death and the afterlife, this genre is rooted in folklore and
religious traditions. The Castle of Otranto, by Horace Walpole, is generally regarded as the novel which
initiated this literary genre. Published in 1764, it remained extremely popular from its release until the mid-
19th century. The novel blended fantastic situations, such as walking paintings and helmets falling from the
sky, with realistic human characters, who reacted to such events in a seemingly natural way. Walpole also
included religious motifs throughout the novel.
