Directions : Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
In Japan, people often refer to traffic lights as being blue in colour. And this is a bit odd, because the traffic signal indicating ‘go’ in Japan is just as green as it is anywhere else in the world. So why is the colour getting lost in translation? This visual conundrum has its roots in the history of language. Blue and green are similar in hue. They sit next to each other in a rainbow, which means that, to our eyes, light can blend smoothly from blue to green or vice-versa, without going past any other colour in between. Before the modern period, Japanese had just one word, AO, for both blue and green. The wall that divides these colours hadn’t been erected as yet. As the language evolved, in the Heian period around the year 1000, something interesting happened. A new word popped into being-midori-and it described a sort of greenish end of blue. Midori was a shade of ao, it wasn’t really a new colour in its own right. One of the first fence in this colour continuum came from an unlikely place — crayons. In 1917, the first crayons were imported into Japan, and they brought with them a way of dividing a seamless visual spread into neat, discrete chunks (colours). There were different crayons for green (modiri) and blue (ao), and children started to adopt these names.
