Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. 

Almost everywhere in Australia’s great cities, tourists are offered the aboriginal experience. The famous art galleries in, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth have splendid collections of the aborigine art expressions. Aborigine art theatres display their distinct music and performing arts. Judging from the promotion programmes of the Australian tourism department, it is obvious that the aborigine experience sells. How far it is a gesture of atonement by the conquering White man towards the subjugated native is a question that came up from time to time. As the lights dim, we are overcome with expectancy and somewhat disappointed at first at the light colouring of the performing aborigine who did not look very different from his all White counterpart. Apparently, intermarriages have been so frequent that it is getting rarer to identify a full blooded aborigine. However, they have various other ways to keep their culture alive. The more enterprising amongst them have formed themselves into groups to educate young Australians about aboriginal culture and history. As the Australian aborigines have no written language, this is probably the most effective way of learning and teaching their ancient cultural history. It was rather shocking to hear that the earlier colonial policies forbade the aborigines to teach their children their cultural history. The indigenous progress froze during those eras when the colonised nations were emotionally and intellectually subjugated.

Some rethinking and redefining of the cultural, historical influence has resulted in this surge of interest in the aborigine lifestyles in Australia. Today, the average white Australian is extremely conscious of the unfairness of the historical process and is hastily making amends (not withstanding some dissenters) by following a policy of encouragement and making visible, native arts and crafts. In these attempts, there is display of traditional art forms borrowed from different tribes-Song, dance and didgeridoo, which is actually a traditional instrument used by the tribes of north western Australia. This long pipe-like instrument is made from the wood of a small narrow-trunked tree called mallee, which, according to authentic sources, has to be half dead before it is cut down. The bottom and the sides are checked for termites, which render the wood hollow. After getting rid of the waste the exterior is painted with characteristic vibrant designs. Once it is over, the didgeridoo is thrown into the fire.
