VIII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
	The Moon revolves once on its axis each time it orbits the Earth, thus always presenting the same face to earth bound observers. However, even to the unaided eye this unchanging face shows two contrasting types of landscape dark, plain- like areas of lower relief, and brighter, decidedly more rugged regions which cover about two- thirds of the surface. Early astronomers mistakenly referred to the smooth dark areas as Maria (or sea) giving the name terrace (or land) to the bright up land regions. The terms have persisted since, even though the Moon’s surface has long been known to be completely waterless.
