  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    DirectionIn this section, you have few short passages. After each passage, you will find some items based on the passage. First, read a passage and answer the items based on it. You are required to select your answers based on the contents of the passage and opinion of the author only.

    Polish inventor and entrepreneur Jerzy Wysocki catches a brown plate — still warm — as it drops out of a machine and he begins to eat the crunchy, fibrous tableware. Taking a bite, the plate does not have much of a flavour. It calls to mind dry cereal flakes or maybe what you would imagine cardboard to taste like. The sexagenarian invented the plate some 15 years ago, and today Biotrem makes around 15 million of them a year. That figure could skyrocket thanks to a decision by the European Union to ban plastic plates and cutlery starting in 2021.
