Q.3
Read the passage and fill in the blank:
Stammering is a habit disorder linked with a lack of self-confidence. Basically, for a child to understand a language, there are four stages. The first is learning to understand the spoken language, and the second is speaking. Both of these usually develop around the age of two. The third stage is speaking complex sentences, which develops at around three, and the fourth is when the child recognises the written alphabet. In 80% of children, while the third and fourth stages are at play, the first two get disturbed because something new is being incorporated in the mind. This is absolutely normal. But what over-cautious mothers do is fret a lot, and the child develops a fear which later manifests itself as stammering. In fact, most textbooks on stammering state in bold that - 'Had there not been any over-cautious mothers, hardly anyone would have suffered from stammering'. Fluency can be incorporated in the speech of such patients through hypnosis.

Iron is only one chemical element. Steel, on the other hand, is a mixture of at least a few elements-iron and carbon. Steel may have as much as 1.5 percent carbon in it. But the steel we use most often has only 0.2 percent carbon in it. Besides carbon, steel may have small amounts of other metals that have been put into the 'melt' on purpose. Metals like manganese, found in some forms of iron, can improve the quality of steel. But there are also some elements found in steel which do not belong. An element such as sulphur can ruin steel. Steel makers try their best to get rid of it. Without the use of steel, the face of the world today would look a lot like it did in the middle of the 1800s. We would not have tall skyscrapers, huge steamships, cars, planes and large machines to make life easier.
The invention of steel ______________________________.
