Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 	Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.
 	As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.
 	Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses. 
Question 27. What does this passage mainly discuss?
	A. The beginning of natural history.	B. Prehistoric man.
	C. Early plants and animals.	D. Cures from plants.
Question 28. The phrase "in this respect" refers to___________.
	A. the origin of knowledge of nature	B. the development of the field of natural history
	C. the development of human culture	D. the use of plants for drugs and medicine
Question 29. The word "blossomed" is closest in meaning to___________.
	A. produced flowers	B. flourished	C. changed	D. learned
Question 30. The word "extract" is closest in meaning to___________.
	A. design	B. flavor	C. substance	D. ailment
Question 31. The word "rudiments" is closest in meaning to___________.
	A. proofs	B. beginnings	C. requirements	D. history
Question 32. The word "this" refers to___________.
	A. man’s domestication of plants and animals	B. providing food for man
	C. man’s ability to live on a small plot of land	D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man
