Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions or gaps.
Chilies came from Mexico where people started eating them as long as nine thousand years ago. It was only about five hundred years ago that people from Spain and Portugal took them to other parts of the world.
For a long time, people have tried to discover what makes chilies taste so hot. Now they have found out what makes our mouths and tongues burn when we taste chilies. They have discovered something inside the chili that makes people think they are eating something hot and burning.
Although people like the hot, burning feeling, animals do not! That’s why animals will never eat chilies when they are out looking for food. Since animals do not eat them, people are now using chilies to control the small animals which eat the food growing on farms. Farmers use chilies to keep away large numbers of these animals from their farms.
But birds are different, they love the taste of chilies! When they eat the chili fruit, they also eat the seeds. These seeds are dropped far away from the place where the birds have eaten them. So new chili plants grow far away from the mother plant. This helps keep the chili plant alive.
Question: Who were the first people to eat chilies?
A.
People in Spain
B.
People in other parts of the world
C.
People in Mexico
D.
People in Portugal
