C – Green Point Lighthouse
Answer: C – Green Point Lighthouse
Green Point lighthouse was the first solidly constructed built on the South African coast, built on the north west point of the peninsula bounding Table Bay, which was built by Herman Scutte who commenced work in 1920.
DID YOU KNOW (www.didyouknow.org)
An ancient torture device, the rack was used to stretch its victims' joints to the breaking point. A prisoner's hands and feet would be fastened to rollers located at either end of the device's rectangular frame, and during interrogations, a ratchet would gradually increase the tension on the chains. The excruciating torture inspired such terrible fear that some prisoners would confess after merely watching someone else being stretched on the rack.
Well known victims of the rack in England include Guy Fawkes, venerable William Carter (1584), the famous Thomas Kyd (1592) one of the most important figures in the development of Elizabethan drama.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Get Your Family to Stop Always Criticizing You (www.wiki.com)
1 Think
What are they criticizing you for? Write down all the reasons. Believe it or not, you may be the one at fault.
2 Review your list
2 Review your list
Is there anything that you could improve yourself on? If you try, there may be a considerable smaller amount of critique and even some constructive information on how to change for the better.
3 Gather your family for a meeting.
3 Gather your family for a meeting.
This may sound cheesy, but it is important. Firmly tell them how you feel. Let them know that you want them to stop complaining, and that you think you are trying your hardest.
4 What to do next
4 What to do next
Whenever a family member must make a comment, if you think there is some shred of reason, calmly ask that person how they would improve if they were you.
5 Be confident in what you do
5 Be confident in what you do
Keep your head high, and speak surely. This will give your family the knowledge that you know what you are doing, and that you are responsible for your actions and mistakes.
6 Do not lose control of your anger
6 Do not lose control of your anger
Doing this will only make your situation worse. Instead, if a family member is taunting you to no avail, tell them to stop. Ask them to think about how hard you are trying. Do not be a smart mouth, however.
7 Ask your family members for advice
7 Ask your family members for advice
This will make them feel important, solve any problem you have, make everyone happy, and create a stronger bond.
8 Be open
8 Be open
If you shut yourself into your room all the time, this will make your parents concerned, thus causing them to ask more questions, criticize you more, and put both sides in an awkward relationship.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
