Finding Bombs in Germany
During World War II, American and British forces dropped millions of tons of bombs on
German cities. Nearly ten percent of the bombs never exploded. The war ended in 1945,
but more than two thousand tons of unexploded bombs are still found in Germany each
year. Before any construction project is undertaken, the site must be checked for
unexploded bombs. Buried bombs are often discovered. For this reason, Germany has a
special force of firefighters and police officers, called the KMBD, to defuse and remove
these bombs. Even though the war has been over for seven decades, the KMBD is one of
the busiest bomb squads on the planet.
What is the main idea of the passage?
a) because there is so much construction in germany, the country has a special force trained to defuse bombs.
b) because there are so many unexploded bombs in germany, the country has a special force to defuse them.
c) almost 10% of the bombs dropped on germany during world war II never exploded
