Explanation:
- Question 1: The passage says DST began in 1918 during World War I, and it was first used “in the spring” to save energy. So answer (a) is correct.
- Question 2: The second paragraph says changing clocks “helped end the war” and “saved energy.” That’s why it mattered.
- Question 3: The third paragraph talks about how DST changed over time—like moving clocks back in winter, then later making them stay on longer—and ends with how it affects people today (“change their clocks hours before people in New York”). That’s the part that most affects everyday life.
- Question 4: In the sentence, “Other countries followed suit,” it means those countries did the same thing the U.S. did—started using DST. “Followed suit” is like saying “did the same thing.”
