1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :Stamp collecting, has grown into one of the world's most popular hobbies, a science and a business activity. Stamp collecting began immediately after the world saw the rst postage stamp in 1840 issued by Great Britain. The bits of coloured paper were a curiosity and used specimens were retained by some people. When other countries followed Britain, the idea of exchanging stamps came into existence and collecting them became more interesting. Thus the hobby was born. In 1841, a lady advertised in a London newspaper for used stamps. She wanted to paper her bathroom walls with stamps. She had a collection of about 16,000, but wanted more to complete the project. She is considered the world's rst stamp collector. The interest spread rapidly and everywhere, men and women began hunting for used stamps of different countries. By 1850, the hobby had taken root. The collection and study of postage stamps is known by the name 'philately'.
