The following text is for questions 1-12

    
Taj Mahal, an epitome of love, is actually a mausoleum. Standing majestically on the banks of River
Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous to love and romance. Taj Mahal was constructed by Mughal
Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife and queen. The name “Taj Mahal” was derived
from the name of Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal, which means crown of palaces
    Taj Mahal represents the finest architectural and artistic achievement. The mausoleum was
constructed of pure white marble. The white marble is inlaid with semi-precious stones (including jade,
crystal, lapis lazuli, amethyst and turquoise) that form the intricate designs. Its central dome reaches a
height of 240 feet (73 meters). The dome is surrounded by four smaller domes. Four slender towers, or
minarets, stand at the corners. Inside the mausoleum, an octagonal marble chamber adorned with
carvings and semi-precious stones house the false tomb of Mumtaz Mahal. Her actual remains lie
below, at garden level.
   Taj Mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty at different time during the day. At dawn when the
first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly pinkish palace. At
daytime, when the sky is bright and clear, the Taj looks milky white. At a moonlit night when the full
moon rays fall on the glistening white marble, the cool moon rays reflect back from the white marble
and give the Taj Mahal a tinge of blue color. It’s simply breathtaking! With such beauty, no wonder
that Taj Mahal becomes one of the the Seven Wonders of the World.

Last holiday my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which is not a long way
from Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in Prambanan. There are three major
sanctuaries, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu sanctuaries. They are truly stunning. We went by just
Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled. On
Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent around two hours there. We were fortunate on
the grounds that we were driven by a brilliant and amicable aide. At that point we proceeded with our
adventure to Borobudur. We touched base there at four p.m. At 6 p.m. we heard the declaration that
Borobudur entryway would be closed. In the evening we left Jogjakarta by bus.
