Read the passage below and choose the best options for each question below.
Archeological record- paintings, drawings, and carvings of human engaged in activities involving the use of hands indicate that humans have been predominantly right-handed for more than 5000 years. In ancient Egyptian artwork, for example, the right-hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90 percent of examples. Fractures or wear pattern on tools also indicate that a majority of ancient people were right-handed.
Cro-Magnon cave paintings some 27,000 years ago commonly show outlines of human hands made by placing one hand against the wall and applying paint the other. Children today make similar outlines of their hands with crayons on paper. With few exceptions, left hands of Cro-Magnons are displayed on cave walls, indicating that paintings were done by right-handers. Anthropological evidence pushes the record of handedness in early human ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago. One more important line of evidence comes from flaking patterns of stone cores used in tool making: Implements flaked with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed toolmaker) can be distinguished from those flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation (indicating a left-handed toolmaker).
Even scratches found on fossil human teeth offer clues. Ancient humans are thought to have cut meat into strip by holding it between their teeth and slicing it with stone knives, as do the present-day Inuit. Occasionally the knives slip and leave the scratches on the users’ teeth. Scratches made with a left-to-right stroke direction (by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the opposite direction (by left-handers).
Still other evidence come from cranial morphology: scientists think that physical differences between the right and left sides of the interior of the skull indicate subtle physical difference between the two sides of the brain. The variation between hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used to perform specific activities. Such studies, as well as studies to tool use, indicate that right or left-sided dominance is not exclusive to modern Homo Sapiens. Population of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus or Homo habilis, seem to have been predominantly right-handed, as we are.
What is the main idea of the reading passage?
Human ancestors became predominantly right-handed when they began to use tools.
It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence concerning tool use. 
Humans and their ancestors have been predominantly right-handed for over a million years. 
Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern human.
What does the author say about the Cro-Magnon paintings of hands?
Some are not very old. 
 It is unusual to see such things
Many were made by children 
The artists were mostly right-handed. 
The word “depicted” in the first paragraph is closet meaning to:
Written B. portrayed C. Referred. D. mentioned.
When compared with “implements flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation” (paragraph 2), it can be referred that “implement flaked with a clockwise motion” are___________
More common B. larger C. more sophisticated D. older
The word “cranial morphology” in the last paragraph is closet meaning to ___________
The form of the crane
The study of physical bodies
The form of the body 
The study of the skull
The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is significant because _______
The relationship between handedness and scratches on fossil human teeth can be verified.
It emphasizes the difference between contemporary humans and their ancestors.
The scratch patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from patterns produced modern knives. 
It demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools.
The word “hemisphere” in the last paragraph is closet meaning to ____________.
Differences B. sides C. activities D. studies.
Why does the author mention the Homo erectus and Homo habilis in the last paragraph?
To contrast them with modern human
To explain when they began to make tools
To show that early humans were predominantly right-handed 
To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large.
All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness Except__________. 
Ancient artwork B. asymmetrical skulls C. studies of tool use D. fossilized hand bones
Which of the following conclusions is suggested by the evidence from cranial morphology ?
Difference in the hemisphere of the brain probably come came about relatively recently
There may be a link between handedness and differences in the brain’s hemispheres.
Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals.
Variation between the brain’s hemispheres was not evidence in the skulls of Homo erectus and Homo habilis.
