SECTION A

1 Read the passage given below and complete the sentences that follow by choosing the most appropriate options from those given :

People all over the world wash their hands with water. Using soap adds to the time spent in washing, breaks down the grease and dirt that carry most germs by facilitating the rubbing and friction that dislodge them and leaves hand smelling pleasant. Good hand washing techniques include washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol based sanitizer. It has been reported that washing with soap is one of the most effective ways to prevent diarrhoeal diseases. It is also the cheapest way. In addition, hand washing with soap can limit the transmission of respiratory disease, a killer of children under five. Acute respiratory infections like pneumonia are the leading causes of child death. Evidence suggests that better hygiene practices like washing hands with soap after defecation and before eating could cut the infection by about 25 percent. It seems pretty simple a step to make such big changes in the lives of the people. The best time to get accustomed to this habit is during childhood.
