Answer: iii.
1. Bingham went to South America in search of an Inca city.
Keywords: South America, search, Inca city.
We have to find the names “South America” and “Inca city”. It is quite a simple task for which you can use skim or scan skills to find them. Fortunately, they lie in the first paragraph. “Hiram Bingham arrived in South America in 1911” and “His goal was to locate the remains of a city called Vitcos, the last capital of the Inca civilization”.
“locate” means “to find or discover the exact position of something”, which is the same as “search”. Therefore, the answer is True.
Answer: True.
1. Bingham chose a particular route down the Urubamba valley because it was the most common route used by travellers. Keywords: a particular route, down the Urubamba valley, most common.
When doing question 15, we already know Bingham used a new route which other travellers had not used. In case you do True – False questions first, you can find the answer’s location according to the keywords. In the second part of paragraph A, the author mentions the route down the Urubamba valley. However, from paragraph B, we know Bingham did not follow that route, he found a new route – “they had an advantage over travellers who had preceded them : a track had recently been blasted down the valley canyon to enable rubber to be brought up by mules”. Therefore, the answer is False.
Answer: False.
1. Bingham understood the significance of Machu Picchu as soon as he saw it.
Keywords: siginificance of Machu Picchu, as soon as he saw it.
In paragraph E, the author claimed “At this stage, didn’t realise the extent or the importance of the site, nor did he realise what use he could make of the discovery.” “The site” referred to is the Lost City – Machu Picchu – and “the importance” means “significance”. According to this sentence, at that time Bing didn’t realize those things. Therefore, the answer is False.
Significance = importance
