REORDER QUESTION

As the day started, the sun rose, shining light on the town.

In the afternoon, the town got busier with people laughing and talking.

People woke up and began their day.

Cars honk and people are rushing everywhere

Birds sang, and trees swayed in the morning breeze.

When the sun set, the town quieted down, ready for a peaceful night.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which is the heading for the following paragraph?

The practice of downloading and distributing copyrighted content such as music or software, digitally and without permission, is known as online piracy. The principle behind piracy pre-dated the creation of the Internet, as we shall see, but its online popularity arose alongside the internet. Despite its explicit illegality in many developed countries, online piracy is still widely practised, largely due to the ease with which it can be done and the difficulty of preventing it.​

Which is the heading for the following paragraph?

One of the earliest recorded acts of unauthorized content copying was in the 1770s, when fourteen-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart visited the Sistine Chapel and heard Allegri's Miserere being performed. After having heard it once, Mozart went back to his hotel and transcribed the entire piece from memory. Two days later he returned to the chapel to proofread his transcription while listening again to the performance. Strangely enough, nobody (except perhaps Allegri!) seemed to mind this copycat behaviour.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which is the heading for the following paragraph?

Historically speaking, there have been a number of advances which have had the dual effect of facilitating legitimate sharing of information while also enabling copyright to be violated more easily. One of the first of these was, of course, the printing press. It may surprise you to hear that in the 1500s these so-called ‘book pirates’ made most of their profits by reproducing various editions of the Bible. Many people read religious books at that time, and pirated copies sold fast.

Which is the heading for the following paragraph?

Everything changed with the advent of computers, especially when prices dropped and they became accessible to many people.  With the release of Napster in 1999 there was an enormous upsurge in online piracy of films, TV programmes and especially music. Napster allowed peer-to-peer file-sharing among its users, which meant easy access to free music. It was ordered to shut down by a federal judge in 2000. However, for many content-producers this was too late, as so many users had already got into the habit of piracy.
