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 from 11 to 20

If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depends primarily on such physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflects social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or

to emulate our fellows

The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reasons such as protecting ourselves from the elements Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of the ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns

In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps

through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures

Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men This identification remains

symbolic in more sophisticated societies We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all periods children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life

Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and to express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in

the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform Costume denotes power, and since power usually

equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express

membership in a group At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the

convict’s uniform Finally, costume can possess religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect
