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.

Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!

In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or 'tags', on walls around the city. One of the first 'taggers' was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. Demetrius's tag was TAKI 183. TAKI was his nickname and 183 was the number of the street where he lived – 183rd Street. At first, he wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood. Then he started writing it in subway stations on the way to school. When the subway train stopped at a station, he jumped off, wrote his 'tag' on the wall and then jumped back on the train before the doors closed. Other teenagers saw Demetrius's tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York: Barbara 62, Joe 182 ...

Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using aerosol paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s and appeared on trains, buses

and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too. Some artists were interested in politics and tried to make people think about social problems and discrimination with their pictures. Other artists wanted to make cities more beautiful. In South America, street artists started painting in poor areas. They brought colour and beauty to grey, city walls.

In modern times, graffiti involves ________.

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.

The advent of street photography as a distinct genre is a relatively recent development, emerging just over half a century ago. In the early 20th century, pioneering photographers like Alfred Stieglitz explored urban scenes, but the limitations of technology led most photographers to primarily test the camera's capabilities and manipulate images in darkrooms for desired effects. The impulse to capture real-life moments gained momentum with Impressionist painters in the 1880s, setting the stage for street photography.

A pivotal moment arrived with the introduction of the Leica handheld camera in 1924. This 35-mm film camera allowed photographers to be mobile, capturing the essence of movement. Its wide aperture required shorter exposure times, revolutionizing outdoor photography. The Leica's rapid advancement enabled the capture of numerous sequential shots, eliminating the need for long exposure times and blurred movements. Photographers like André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Ilse Bing, who primarily worked in Europe in the 1930s, favoured the Leica, though they didn't necessarily label themselves as street photographers. Instead, they identified as photojournalists, fashion photographers, or experimentalists. Following World War II, the Leica remained a favourite, particularly among New York City photographers, including Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, William Klein, and Roy DeCarava. Street photography gained ground globally, with notable practitioners like Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Graciela Iturbide in Mexico, Robert Doisneau in Paris, Josef Koudelka in Czechoslovakia, and Bill Brandt in London.

The 1960s brought a new wave of street photographers, with Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, and Diane Arbus leading the way. This generation, epitomized by the 1967 "New Documents" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, demonstrated a documentary approach blended with personal perspectives. This recognition of photography as artistry rather than mere record-keeping paved the path for subsequent generations of street photographers worldwide, both with traditional cameras and, in the 21st century, with cell phones. Street photography continues to thrive as an art form deeply embedded in contemporary culture.
