A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week, ”he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn ’tget it back.
“How did you write your advertisement? ”asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
“Here it is, ”said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper, The other man took it

Passage Two
The great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in
every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman question to inquire which one is “better”. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is “better”. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. (82)However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.
’s
46. The author feels that a comparison of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets shows that _______.
A. neither type is very economical C. each type has certain advantages
B. the liquid-fuel rocket is best
D. the solid-fuel rocket is best.
