Read the following passage and select the correct answers -(From Q. No. 91 to Q 95)
Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a source of warmth and as a means of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious, ways of making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he carried a firebrand with him. His discovery that the firebrand from which the torch may very well have developed, could be used for illumination was probably incidental to the primary,purpose' of preserving a flame.
Lamps, too probably developed by accident. Early man may have had his, first conception of a lamp watching a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a roasting carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in it.
