Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

The earliest form of glass was made by nature The lava from volcanic eruptions cooled and formed a

rock called obsidian, which was a type of volcanic glass Humans found many uses for a hard, sharp material

like obsidian, which could be shaped into cutting tools, weapons, and beads Demand for this type of glass was high, but obsidian was not available everywhere Thus it was a popular trade item among Stone Age cultures

For thousands of years, humans lacked the technology to manufacture their own glass and relied exclusively on naturally formed glass According to the records of a Roman historian, sailors discovered

glassmaking by accident They had put stones of soda ash into a fire built on the beach They later discovered

that the stones had melted and cooled to form glass Historians estimate that this breakthrough in the

understanding of glassmaking took place about 6,000 years ago

The first objects made from manufactured glass were little beads As glassmaking developed, craftspeople began making larger objects They wrapped strings of glass around a core made from clay Using this process, glassmakers could create objects as complex as perfume bottles from glass However, the work

was difficult and expensive—only the very wealthy could purchase glass.

The next breakthrough in glass production came around 30 B.C This is when glassblowing was invented

in Phoenicia, modern-day Lebanon and Syria By blowing through a metal tube into a lump of melted glass, a glassblower could inflate it like a balloon This technology enabled a greater variety of form than previously

possible It also decreased the difficulty of working with glass and lowered the cost of glass products For the

first time, it became practical to use glass for more than just beads and perfume bottles The Roman Empire learned of the new glassblowing method With workshops in its colonial territories, it introduced the process to other parts of the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa
