Made of white marble decorated with precious stones, it took around twenty years to complete and employed thousands of workers. Today the monument attracts millions of visitors a year.

663. Read the passage and answer the question. Sugar itself does not directly damage teeth. The problem is the bacteria that live in our mouths. When we eat sugary food, these bacteria feed on the sugar and produce acid, which gradually dissolves the hard enamel that protects our teeth. How often we eat sugar matters as much as how much we eat: every sugary snack starts a new acid attack that lasts for some time. Dentists therefore suggest keeping sweets to mealtimes rather than eating them throughout the day. Why do dentists suggest eating sweets only at mealtimes?

     कto reduce the number of acid attacks on the teeth खbecause sweets taste better with food गso that people eat less food overall घbecause bacteria are inactive between meals

665. Read the passage and answer the question. Throughout the day, a chemical called adenosine slowly builds up in the brain and makes us feel sleepy. Caffeine works by blocking the brain's adenosine receptors, so we feel more alert even though our bodies may still be tired. The effect does not disappear quickly: caffeine stays in the body for several hours. For this reason, sleep experts advise people who have trouble sleeping to avoid coffee, strong tea and cola in the afternoon and evening. What does the phrase 'even though our bodies may still be tired' suggest?

     कTiredness exists only in the mind. खCaffeine hides tiredness rather than removing it. गCaffeine has no effect on the brain. घCaffeine makes the body more tired.

668. Read the passage and answer the question. A vacuum flask, often called a Thermos after an early brand, keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for many hours. It has two walls with a vacuum between them. Because there is almost no air in the gap, heat cannot easily pass through by conduction or convection. The inner surfaces are usually silvered like a mirror, which reflects heat radiation back. The weakest point is the stopper, so most of the heat that escapes does so through the top. According to the passage, where does most heat escape from a vacuum flask?

     कthrough the vacuum between the walls खthrough the silvered surfaces गthrough the stopper at the top घthrough the bottom of the flask

670. Read the passage and answer the question. On a clear night, stars appear to twinkle, but the stars themselves are not flickering. Their light travels through the Earth's atmosphere, where layers of moving air at different temperatures bend it slightly in changing directions. Because stars are so far away, each one appears as a tiny point, and these small changes make it seem to jump and shimmer. Planets are much closer and appear as tiny discs rather than points, so they usually shine with a steadier light. This is one reason why astronomers build telescopes on high mountains or launch them into space. Based on the passage, why are telescopes built on high mountains?

     कso that they are closer to the stars खso that light passes through less of the atmosphere गso that they are far from city noise घso that planets look like points
