VII. Read the passage carefully then answer the questions. (1 pt)

One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural

gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas found in the United States, usually several

thousand feet below the surface of the earth.

For many years after natural gas first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally,

however, people began to understand its uses and to find ways of storing it and of moving it from

place to place.

Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking, and heating. In many

ways, natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It is cheap and can be used for cooking without making the

room hot. It can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are

hundreds of miles in length.
