Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Tonga is made up of about 150 islands located in the South Pacific Ocean.There are three main groups of islands—Vava'u in the north,Ha'apai in the middle,and Tongatapu in the south.Most of the eastern islands are made up of dead animal remains.The higher islands in the west were formed by a process of mountain building.Large areas on these islands are too mountainous to be used for crops.Some of the mountains are still active—which means that they can be dangerous.Many of the smaller islands do not have any people on them.There are only two large towns—Nukualofa,the capital,and Neiafu.These towns are Tonga's chief ports.
Tonga has few natural resources.The most important resources are a pleasant sunny climate and natural beauty,which attract growing numbers of tourists.Because of its location,Tonga is sometimes hit by storms.One such storm,in 1982,caused high winds and huge waves that destroyed many homes,including almost all of the buildings in Nuku'alofa.
Tonga was a British protected state from 1900 until 1970,when it became fully free from foreign rule again.Britain was responsible for Tonga's foreign affairs,but the Tongan nobles still controlled local matters.For most of this period,Tonga was ruled by Queen Salote Tupou III.During the time of her leadership,education and health care were expanded and women were given the right to help choose the leaders.The Tongan government is a mixture of Polynesian tradition and Western methods.The government,in part,is made up of a seven-member body appointed by the king,seven nobles chosen by the nobles,and seven persons chosen by all adult citizens.
