SECTION A- READING SECTION 1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Enlil, the god of beauty, was a great lover of beauty. Even when he was a
child, his eyes always sought beauty and when he saw it, he couldn't go
past without caressing it. He made the tops of trees ruffle and flowers
dance. He gathered waves in his mouth and blew them out as spray. He
made fish shimmer and butterflies dance. When Enlil came their way all
living creatures felt a great surge of happiness. For where Enlil was,
there was beauty
When he became a young man, Enlil decided to build the most beautiful
city in the world. But first he needed to find a place that would be
perfect for such a city. So he travelled far and wide, seeking such a place.
Then, one day, as he flew over the middle world between heaven, where
the gods lived, and the darks realms of the nether world, he saw a sight
that made him pause. Between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates was the
most beautiful place he had ever seen. The water from the rivers fed the
and, making it rich and fertile. All kinds of wonderful flowers and
delicious fruits grew here. The birds sang all day and bees, drunk with
nectar, buzzed around lazily. Enlil stood there for a long time, gazing at
the beauty of the place and decided to build his city here.
