a) true
b) false

A

Explanation:

In the early 19th century, British traders centred on the illegal importation of opium into China from India as a means of paying for the British purchases of tea and silk. The British used Chinese objections to opium importation as a pretext to

invade China and forcibly open it to Western trade. Chinese attempts to halt the opium trade, which had caused social and economic disruption, started the first Opium War (1839–42) between Britain and China. Britain’s victory in this conflict forced the Chinese create five treaty ports in which foreigners could live and work outside Chinese legal jurisdiction, trading with whomever they pleased.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
