L ouisa’s wedding dress arrived at four o’clock in the evening, eighteen hours
before her marriage. “I must try it on” Louisa cried, as she ran upstairs.
Three minutes later her cries brought her mother. The dress was too much
big for her. It was baggy in the front, and the neck line looked all wrong.
Louisa was in tears. “Take it back to the dressmaker’s,” Mrs Tom said.”
She must alter it tonight. Hurry now. Take it off and go”. The dressmaker’s
shop was closed. “Closed for one week’s holiday,” said a notice on the door.
Fresh tears rose to Louisa’s eyes. She ran home again to her mother.
“This is unlucky,” Mrs Tom said, “But what are we going to do? Shall I ask Mrs
Peters to help? She was a dressmaker once. I’m sure she could alter it
for you”.

Read the following passage, then correct answer from a, b, c or d:

S ir Walter Raleigh is probably best known as a knight in Queen Elizabeth I’s

court. He was the one who took off his red cape and laid it in the mud.
He didn’t want his queen to get her feet wet or her long dress dirty. This was
a famous act of chivalry and added to his fame as a knight. It also increased
his popularity with Elizabeth I. She enjoyed controlling the strong, handsome
men who served her in court. They also fought for her in her conflicts with
Spain and other countries.
Raleigh established a colony in the New World that he named Virginia
in honor of Elizabeth’s nickname. However, the first settlement in Virginia at
Roanoke was abandoned, and the people disappeared. Raleigh served as
captain of the Queen’s guard for a time. He made a lot of money as a
merchant sending ships to trade with other countries. He also sent a
small fleet of pirates to rob Spanish ships. He searched in South America for
a fabulous but imaginary City of Gold.
He got secretly married. This angered the queen. Elizabeth had Raleigh and
his new wife imprisoned in the Tower of London. Raleigh later arranged their
release from prison by writing poems praising the queen. He also gave her
ships full of stolen Spanish treasure. Raleigh was not as successful with
Elizabeth’s successor, King James I. James didn’t like Raleigh or trust him.
James had Raleigh imprisoned in the Tower again for thirteen years. He
ordered Raleigh’s execution in 1618.
19. From the context of the passage, what is the best meaning of chivalry?
a) Laying down clothes for a queen to walk on.
