Read the following passage and answer the questions from the choices given
1) THAT’S INK !
Ink has constantly reinvented itself to keep up with changing times. Even with the advent of the digital age, the importance of ink has not diminished as everything from newspapers to computer printers still depend on ink. The Mesopotamians were among the first to use a stylus made from bone, metal or ivory to scratch marks on tablets coated with bags. Later the Chinese and Egyptians discovered ink independently. The earliest known ink can be traced to 256 B.C. Made by mixing soot with animal glow, this ink was in the form of a solid. Generally called as ink stick or ink cake. It had to be ground using a special stone , liquefied with water and applied by means of a brush. By the 12th century B.C. several kinds of ink sticks were made from plants minerals etc. Since then many different types of inks have been made and used in different parts of the world. There are a variety of inks available for drawing , writing printing etc.
WHAT’S INK? Ink consists of two basic components: the colorant and the vehicle, also called binder. The colorant may be a pigment or a dye which gives the ink its characteristic colour. The vehicle is a liquid or a paste which carries the colour and binds it to the paper. Examples of binders include water, alcohol, oil, animal glues, resins etc. Some additives may also be added to control the flow, thickness and drying speed of the ink. The composition and the texture of ink depends on the function it is meant to perform. For example printing inks are greasier and thicker than the inks used for writing. There are some inks which are used for purposes other than writing. Like invisible ink, election ink, tattoo ink.
