Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 23 to 27.
SON
Anthropologists have pieced together the little they know about the history of left-handedness and right-handedness
from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written records, they did leave tools, bones, and
pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatchets were made from stones that were carefully chipped away to form
sharp cutting edges. In some, the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right
handed people, designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implements were made by or for left-
handers. Prehistoric pictures, painted on the walls of caves, provide further clues to the handedness of ancient
people. A right-hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals facing toward the left, whereas a left-
hander finds it easier to draw faces facing toward the right. Both kinds of faces have been found in ancient painting.
On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally
likely to be left-or right-handed.
But, in the Bronze Age, the picture changed. The tools and weapons found from that period are mostly made for
right-handed use. The predominance of right-handedness among humans today had apparently already been
established.

hand to the other?
A. Petrified forms of vegetation B. Patterns of stone chipping
C. Fossilized waste material D. Fossilized footprints

that are facing ____.
A. upward B. downward C. toward the right D. toward the left
