Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for thefollowing questions.The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music history. This quartet ofextraordinary talented musicians generated a phenomenal number of pieces that won goldrecords. They inspired a frenzy that transcended countries and economic strata. While all ofthem sang, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the majority of their songs. OriginallyLennon and five others formed a group called the Quarrymen in 1956, with McCartney joiningthem later that year. George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, together with StuartSutcliffe, who played the bass guitar and Pete best on the drums, performed together in severalbands for a few years, until they finally settle on the Silver Beatles in 1960. American rockmusicians, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon's and McCartney's music,whose first hits consisted of simple tunes and lyrics about young love, "Love Me Do" and"Please, Please me". The Beatles' US tour propelled them to stardom and led to two movies AHard Day's Night and Help!, filmed in 1964 and 1965. The so – called British invasion of theUnited States was in full swing when they took the top five spots on the singles chart, followedby the release of their first film.During the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The lyrics oftheir songs became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popularitycontinued to grow as the Beatles turned their attention to social problems and political issues in"Nowhere Man" and "Eleanor Rigby". Loneliness and nostalgia come through in their ballads"Michelle" and "Yesterday" which fully displayed the group's professional development andsophistication. Lennon's sardonic music with lyrics written in the first person, and McCartney'ssongs that created scenarios with off beat individuals, contributed to the character of the musicproduced by the group. In addition to their music, the Beatles set a social trend that popularizedlong hair, Indian music, and mod dress.For a variety of reasons, the musicians began to drift apart, and their last concert tookplace in San Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their quarrels andlawsuits, and the much idolized group finally disbanded in 1970. However, their albums hadoutsold those of any other band in history. Although all of the Beatles continued to perform soloor form new rock groups, alone, none could achieve the recognition and success that they hadbeen able to win together.
