Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows:

I did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card - which is a horror unto itself, especially as the keeper of the Big Card was leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on the spot, a rabbit in the headlights, torn between doing a fun message or some sort of in-joke or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options available to me, I decided to just write : “Good luck, best, Joel”. It was then that I realised, to my horror, that I had forgotten how to write. My entire existence is “tap letters into computer”. My shopping lists are hidden in the notes function of my phone. If I need to remember something I send an e-mail to myself. A pen is something I chew when I’m struggling to think. Paper is something I pile beneath my laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to type on. A poll of 1,000 teens by the stationers, Bic found that one in 10 don’t own a pen, a third have never written a letter, and half of 13 to 19 years - old have never been forced to sit down and write a thank you letter. More than 80% have never written a love letter, 56% don’t have letter paper at home. And a quarter have never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most a teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper. Bic, have you heard of mobile phones? Have you heard of e-mail, facebook and snap chatting ? This is the future. Pens are dead. Paper is dead. Handwriting is a relic. “Handwriting is one of the most creative outlets we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching, painting or photography.”

Understanding where you are in the world is a basic survival skill, which is why we, like most species come hard-wired with specialized brain areas to create cognitive maps of our surroundings. Where humans are unique, though with the possible exception of honeybees, is that we try to communicate this understanding of the world with others. We have a long history of doing this by drawing maps- the earliest versions yet discovered were scrawled on cave walls 14,000 years ago. Human cultures have been drawing them on stone tablets, papyrus, paper and now computer screen since.
Given such a long history of human map- making, it is perhaps surprising that it is only within the last few hundred years that north has been consistently considered to be at the top. In fact, for much of human history, north almost never appeared at the top, according to Jerry Brotton, a map historian…. “north was rarely put at the top for the simple fact that north is where darkness comes from”, he says. “West is also very unlikely to be put at the top because west is where the sun disappears.”
Confusingly, early Chinese maps seem to buck this trend. Brotton, says, even though they did have compass at the time, that isn’t the reason that they placed north at the top. Early Chinese compasses were actually oriented to pint south, which was considered to be more desirable than deepest darkest north. But in Chinese maps, the emperor, who lived in the north of the country was always put at the top of the map, with everyone else, his loyal subjects, looking up towards him. “In Chinese culture the emperor looks south because it’s where the winds come from, it’s a good direction. North is not very good but you are in a position of subjection to the emperor, so you look up to him” says Brotton.
Given that each culture has a very different idea of who, or what, they should look up to its perhaps not surprising that there is very little consistency in which way early maps pointed. In ancient Egyptian times the top of the world was east, the position of sunrise. Early Islamic maps favoured south at the top because most of the early Muslim cultures were north mecca, so they imagined looking (south) towards it. Christian maps from the same era (called Mappa Mundi) put east at the top, towards the Garden of Eden with Jerusalem in the Centre.
So when did everyone get together and decide that north was the top? It’s tempting to put it down to European explores like Christopher Colombus and Fedinand Megellan, who were navigating by the North Star. But Brotton argues that these early explorers didn’t think of the world like that at all. “when Colombus describes the world is in accordance with east being at the top”, he says. “Colombus says he is going towards paradise, so his mentality is from a medieval mappa mundi. “We have got to remember, adds Brotton, that at the time, “no one knows what they are doing and where they are going”.

Which one of the following about the northern orientation of modern maps is asserted in the passage?

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question.
In 776 BC the First Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour the Greek’s chief God, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four year cycles called Olympiads dating from 776 BC.

According to the passage, where were the First Olympic Games held? At the foot of
