Social media marketing has increased due to the growing active user rates on social media
sites. For example, Facebook currently has 2.2 billion users, Twitter has 330 million active users

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and
landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes
are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast
nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one
shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the
cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves.
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. Radar
sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves
bounce off the objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a
trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and the objects. The word
radio: in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging? 'Ranging' is the term for
detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance
to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather
systems and storms.

A. The Types of Ranging
B. The Alternatives to Radar
C. The Nature of Radar
D. The History of Radar

B. light 
C. sound
