Question

Paper is not only useful for preserving information.

………………………………………….. What would birthdays be like without this material, which performs the role of building excitement and anticipation better than all others? I have received presents wrapped in cloth, or hidden in a cupboard, but nothing has the magic of wrapping paper . A present really isn’t a present unless it is wrapped in paper. It is the paper that, by concealing and revealing an object, ritualizes the act of giving and receiving, turning that object into a gift. In each of these questions, a paragraph is given that has blank in it. Five sentences (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) are suggested. Out of these, only one fits the blank in the context of the paragraph. Pick that sentence as the answer.

A This is not just a cultural association.

B Paper’s mechanical properties lend themselves to folding and bending.

C So it is its ability to hold a crease while remaining stiff that makes paper uniquely suited to this purpose.

D In its role as a wrapping material, paper also does a good job of obscuring it.

E None of these
