Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
Diamond value is based on four characteristics: carat, color, clarity and cut. A diamond’s size is measured
by carat weight. There are 100 points in a carat and 142 carats in an ounce. Each point above 1 carat is
more valuable than each point below 1 carat. Thus, a stone that weighs more than 1 carat is more valuable
per point than a stone that is smaller than 1 carat.
The scale used for rating a diamond’s color begins with “D”, which means the stone is absolutely
colorless and therefore most valuable “E” and “F” are almost colorless. All three are good for investment.
A stone rated between “G” and “J” is good for jewelry. After that the stones take on a slightly yellowish
color, which gets deeper as the grade declines.
The clarity of a stone is determined by its lack of carbon spots inner flaws, and surface blemishes. While
most of these are invisible to the unaided eye, they do affect the diamond’s brilliance. For jewelry, a
diamond rated VSI (very slight imperfections) is as close to flawless as one will find. After that the scale
goes to VVS1.VSI, VS2, SI1, SI2,I1, I2 and so on.
The final characteristics are cut. When shaped (round, oval, emerald, marquise, pear, or heart), the
diamond should be faceted so that light is directed into the depths of the prism and then reflected outward
again. A well cut diamond will separate the light into different colors when the light is reflected. Only
stones of similar shape should have their reflective qualities compared, as some shapes are more
reflective than others. For example, the round shape is the most reflective.
97. The passage is mainly about
a. The cost of diamonds b. Qualities affecting diamond values
c. How to judge an expensive diamond d. Buying diamonds for jewelry.
98. It can be inferred from the passage that a stone rated “H” is
a. Deep yellow b. Good for investment
c. Very colorful d. Good for jewelry
99. The word “flawless” in the line 16 is closest in meaning to
a. unrefined b. unsaturated
c. unblemished d. unbruised
100. All of the following rating refers to the clarity of a stone EXCEPT
a. perfection b. very slight imperfection
c. slight imperfection d. imperfection
