Question 96.A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully
and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button
corresponding to it.

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward
across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free
seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely
complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of
delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs
sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes
over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2
million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting
on H-shaped steel racks called "bents", long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course
high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky
ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is
determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay
of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen
ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder
is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the
properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8
billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by
private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil
companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil
rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction
fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate,
supply shortage, equipment breakdowns, labour disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain
amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is
operating.

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward
across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free
seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely
complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of
delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs
sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes
over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2
million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting
on H-shaped steel racks called "bents", long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course
high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky
ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is
determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay
of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen
ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder
is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the
properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8
billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by
private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil
companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil
rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction
fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate,
supply shortage, equipment breakdowns, labour disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain
amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is
operating.

What are "bents"?
1) Zigzag shape of pipeline
2) Pipeline's up and down route
3) The section of the pipeline that drops out of sight
4) The H-shaped steel racks
Correct Answer: The H-shaped steel racks
Candidate Answer: The H-shaped steel racks

How was the fund for pipeline - construction generated?
1) 8 major oil companies joined hands to share the cost
2) 8 major oil companies borrowed $8 billion.
3) A single private company raised $8 billion
4) Oil rights were sold to 8 major oil companies
Correct Answer: 8 major oil companies joined hands to share the cost
Candidate Answer: 8 major oil companies joined hands to share the cost
