Read carefully the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
The best way of understanding our civilization is to take an ordinary sort of day in the life of an ordinary sort of man, myself, for instance, and to see what he does. My house is in London. I get up in the morning when an alarm clock rings on the table at my bed it goes by clockwork and is quite a complicated machine. I get into a hot bath, the water for which has been heated by gas. The gas is supplied to me by the Gas Board for the area in which I live; it is part of a national system. The water is supplied by the City Water Board. After bathing I shave; the water for my shave comes from a kettle which has been heated by electricity. So far as I am concerned, what happens is very simple. I put a plug in the wall and press the switch and the electricity does the rest. I use a safety razor the blade of which, made of very finely tempered steel. has been cut, together with millions of other blades, by a machine. The clothes which I put on have also been spun and woven largely by steam or electricity-driven machines.
