Explanation:

1. Question 1:

• Analyze the time - order of events in the text. Early Italians baking bread under hot stones is an early step in pizza - like food history. Pizza coming to the US (late 1800s), Raffaele Esposito making pizza (1889), and pizza becoming popular all over the US (after World War II) happen later.

1. Question 2:

• The text states “Pizza became popular in the United States after World War II. American soldiers ate pizza in Italy. When they came home from the war, they wanted pizza at home. More and more people started eating pizza!”.

1. Question 3:

• “Ancient” means something that existed a long time ago. “Long, long ago” is the correct synonym. “Tropical” relates to a climate, “present - day” is the opposite, and “very nervous” is about a feeling.

1. Question 4:

• The text mentions that more and more people started eating pizza (after World War II) and the title “Pizza Is Popular!” implies people enjoy eating it. There is no strong support for pizza being only for royalty (it was made for a king and queen once but became popular among many), people do put different toppings (as in the early description of bread with toppings), and no comparison of popularity between Italy and the US in terms of “more popular” is clearly supported.

Answer:

1. B. Early Italians baked bread under hot stones.
2. A. after World War II
3. D. long, long ago
4. A. People enjoy eating pizza.
