Read the following passage about tourist graffiti and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30. People in China were angry and there was a big hunt to find the person responsible for the graffiti in Chinese on a 3,500-year-old monument in Luxor. The message wasn't very imaginative but basically 'Ding Jinhao was here', so Internet users easily found this particular Ding Jinhao, a teenager in Nanjing. His parents then told a local newspaper that their son was sorry for his actions. It is a serious crime to write on a historic monument in Egypt. But in the past, people could write on monuments and no one was angry about it. At Giza there is an example of graffiti on a temple wall from 1244 BC. It says 'Hadnakhte came to make an excursion and amuse himself on the west of the Memphis, together with his brother, Panakhti'. In Roman times, one of the first Egyptologists, Giovanni Belzoni, was the first modern man to enter the pyramid of Khafre. Inside the pyramid today you can read his text celebrating the discovery.

There was graffiti in just about every language up there. Luckily, it wasn't difficult to make Ding Jinhao's graffiti disappear.
