Charity organisations are responsible for most of the help extended to the destitute. Each organisation caters to a different group of people.
The Red Cross is a well-known organisation that has centres in countries all over the world. It had its beginnings in a small Italian town in 1859. A fierce battle was taking place then and more than forty thousand people were wounded. The medical services of the army were inadequate. The situation horrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book describing the dreadful situation. His book was impetus for the setting up of charity organisations.
Today, countries emulate the workings of the Red Cross. They carry out fund raising activities to help children who cannot receive an education or victims of natural disasters. Both the young and old contribute willingly to these organisations. In fact, without these charity organisations, millions of people around the world perish because of poverty or natural disasters.
In India, a compassionate woman started PUSS (Palli Unnayan Sevi Samiti). Supported by social workers and teachers, she has helped hundreds of children receive a proper eduction. Without her help, the literacy rate in India would be much lower than what it is today.
Charity organisations are crucial today. They cannot function without the benevolent people who help to run these organisations.
The Red Cross was first set up to help ______.
A.injured soldiers         
B.sick children  
C.children with no education          
D.victims of natural disasters

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.
In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system was in a state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the bimetallic monetary system?
A.Gold could be exchanged for silver at a rate of 16 to 1.
B.It was established in 1792.
C.The monetary system was based on two metals.
D.Either gold or silver could be used as official money.
