(Answer each question by choosing the best option.)

Answer questions 1-6 based on the following passage.

The first shock that I received had nothing to do with the

stone figures I had come to see. It was the sight of the

island itself that filled me with astonishment. It was so

barren : there were no trees, and it was apparent that

scarcely any ground was good enough to support crops.

Yet nobody looked hungry or unhappy. The second

shock left me in a state of wonder. Many people have

indeed seen photographs of the enormous stone figures,

but the pictures show single statues or groups of only

three or four. What I now discovered was that there are

hundreds; they are all over the island. The greatest

concentration of the figures is near the eastern tip. Here

lies the quarry from which the stone was taken.
