Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35. 
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it, and that the easiest 
way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produced 
pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians made stockfish and the 
Arabs dried dates and apricots. 
All foods contain water...chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110°C at entry to about 45°C at exit. This is 
the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. 
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal 
steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, 
the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively 
coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable 
pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed. 
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not 
need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers 
in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to 
cook them.
