Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to

each of the questions.

All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of

the most popular is undoubtedly sausage.

To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various

animal parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in

their original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less

appetizing areas of an animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a

certain percentage of fat, along with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat

mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends.

The result is sausage.

The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the

favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When

sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably

the simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.

Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became

the tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
