Exercise 7: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Bamboo is engraved in Vietnamese culture and daily life, providing protection, and representing resiliency. Bamboo can be
manipulated in any shape or form to assist in the simplest or most complex of functions. Here in Vietnam, and especially in the
countryside, bamboo is used for everything- from chopsticks, to chairs, to agricultural tools, to roofs, to instruments and to home
decorations.
Bamboo is embedded even in Vietnamese dance culture! A series of bamboo sticks are set up in a line, with people holding them in
place on either side. Dancers move in and out of the sticks, trying to time their dancing so as not to get caught between the bamboo
sticks. Performers typically dance hand in hand, slowly making their way sideways along the bamboo line and even the best of dancers
always tend to get stuck a few times, resulting in bunches of giggles and loads of smiles.
