VIII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.

unchanging face shows two contrasting types of landscape dark, plain- like areas of lower
relief, and brighter, decidedly more rugged regions which cover about two- thirds of the
surface. Early astronomers mistakenly referred to the smooth dark areas as Maria (or sea)
giving the name terrace (or land) to the bright up land regions. The terms have persisted
since, even though the Moons surface has long been known to be completely waterless.
