   Read this passage carefully and answer the questions.

   Shortly after 8 p.m. on the evening of 30 October 1938, America was thrown into panic. A radio broadcast alerted listeners to a Martian landing in Grover's Mill, New Jersey.

   Police lines were jammed with frantic residents calling about the 'Martians'. The foggy weather that evening added to their anxiety. Some families began leaving their homes. People could see a 'large figure' through the mist.

   In the morning, things became clearer. The 'large figure' turned out to be the town's water tank. The broadcast had been an audio play − a dramatised adaptation of the popular science fiction novel. The war of the worlds, for the radio. Many people had missed the introduction to the broadcast because they had been listening to a popular programme on another network.

   The play utilised the 'breaking news' format that American audiences had become used to, especially for war-time reports. that is why many mistook it to be a real martian invasion.

   Orson Welles, who directed the play,used this familiarity to his advantage. The play referred to real people and places and sound effects o sound more convincing. Latter, Welles apologised, stating that the intention had never been to deceive listeners. But many people refused to forgive him!
