hydrogen—in a flask half-full of boiling water, and passed electric sparks,
mimicking lightning, through them for several days to see what would happen.
What happened, as the name of the paper suggests, was amino acids, the building
blocks of proteins. The origin of life then seemed within grasp. But it has eluded
researchers ever since. They are still looking, though, and this week several of
them met at the Royal Society, in London, to review progress. (The Economist,

III. Parse the following passage into supra-phrasal unities:
The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a
coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It
depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of
about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features.
Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times
it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during
daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The
flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose
ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each
landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the
wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you
about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption
beneath it ran. (G. Orwell “Nineteen Eighty-Four”)
