II. Read the passage and write True or False after each statement. (1m)
Before refrigerators became common place in the early 20th century, people relied on iceboxes
to keep food cold. These were insulated wooden boxes lined with zinc or tin. Large blocks of ice,
harvested from frozen lakes or rivers in the winter, were placed inside a compartment at the top. The
cold air from the melting ice would slowly travel down, keeping the food below cool.
Iceboxes were a vast improvement over simply leaving food at room temperature, but they
weren't perfect. The ice needed to be replaced regularly, often every few days, which could be
inconvenient and expensive. Additionally, the coldest area was near the bottom, so people had to be
careful about where they stored different foods. Milk, for example, spoiled quickly if not kept very cold.
Despite their limitations, iceboxes were a vital tool for food preservation for many years. They allowed
families to store leftovers, keep dairy products fresh for longer, and even enjoy a refreshing cold drink
on a hot summer day.
21. ___ Iceboxes were commonly used before refrigerators became widespread.
22. ___ Iceboxes were made of plastic.
23. ___ The ice compartment in an icebox was located at the top.
