Passage 1 Questions 56

—

60 are based on the following

’

passage

?

It is only a shiny, yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable metals on earth.

Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.

Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like

iron or

other

metals.

Acids do

not

change

it.

One

important

reason

that

gold

is

so

valuable is that it is scarce.

Due to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it

strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals

commonly

mixed

with

gold

are

nickel,

platinum,

and

copper.

Gold

jewelry

bears

a

number

and

the

letter

K.

The

K

means

karat

(carat),

which

is

a

measure

of

the

amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is

14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metal.

Many countries utilize gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now

as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.

56. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
