II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

The stethoscope is considered as an iconic symbol of medicine. It was invented in 1816 by the Frenchphysician René Théophile Hyacinthe Laënnec (1781-1826). At that time, in order to diagnose the patient’sconditions, doctors had to use immediate auscultation, which means placing their ears directly on the chestsof patients to hear the heartbeat. This could be quite embarrassing for female patients. One day, while walkingin Paris, Dr. René saw two children sending signals to each other using a long piece of solid wood and makingscratching sounds with a pin. It was this observation that inspired his invention of the stethoscope. First, hetested this idea by rolling up a piece of paper and then used it to listen to his patient’s chest. He was surprisedthat he was able to hear his patient’s heartbeat more clearly. Dr. René later experimented with different typesof materials until he finally decided upon a hollow tube of wood. He called this instrument “the cylinder” dueto its shape. Then, he changed its name into the “stethoscope” because from the Greek ‘stethos’ means chestand ‘skopein’ means examining. In 1851, an Irish doctor named Arthur Leared invented a binaural version ofthe stethoscope. A year later, George Cammann created a flexible, rubber stethoscope and it was put into massproduction. Throughout the 20th century, many minor improvements were made to the stethoscope to reduceweight, improve acoustic quality, and filter out external noise. Electronic versions of the stethoscope werealso introduced to further amplify the sounds inside the body. During the Covid-19 pandemic, digitalstethoscopes are seen as a major rise in popularity. A digital stethoscope is able to convert an acoustic soundto electronic signals which can be transmitted to a personal computer, and doctors can remotely listen to it.
