Read the following passage carefully.
Of all the weapons of destruction invented by science till today, the most destructive one is the Atom bomb. Scientists have succeeded in making this after years of research. These researches first started in Germany about the beginning of the Second World War. The German scientists were afterwards engaged by America, and a big laboratory covering several square miles was set up in that country. Constant researches were carried on in America very secretly and in 1944, the scientists succeeded in making the Atom bomb. During that time the Second World War was al-most coming to an end. Germany was defeated. But the small country, Japan, was still waging the war against the mighty forces of England, France and Russi and America was forced to enter the war. An Atom bomb was flown from America to Japan, and was dropped on a city, in 1945, called Hiroshima, where a Japanese army was stationed. It was a great populous city. The bomb not only killed the whole army but also levelled all the houses to the ground and nothing was left but heaps of debris. Even many people living far away received severe burns by the rays that came out of the bursting bomb.
