A The Eiffel Tower Becomes a Permanent Feature of the Paris Skyline B The Eiffel Tower during World War I C The German Physicist Theodor Wulf and The Eiffel Tower D The Eiffel Tower and The Major Facelift in 1986 Question 32: According to paragraph 1, the Eiffel Tower was saved because A it was a famous temporary exhibit B it was too dangerous to tear it down in 1909 C it could absorb enemy radio communications D it could be used as a radiotelegraph station Question 33: The word “which” in paragraph refers to A planet B Eiffel Tower C seven years D major facelift Question 34: The word “eager” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A private B weird C anxious D secrete Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an incident happened to the Eiffel Tower?

A Blockchain Technology B Bitcoin vs Blockchain C Digital Currency D A Single Cryptocurrency Question 37: The word “key” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A creative B artificial C dynamic D essential
