Read the text below and then answer the questions. 
Brazil’s Carnival has become the world’s largest festival, known for its 
over-the-top costumes, extravagant floats and week-long street parties 
renowned for their debauchery. It’s an event that brings the whole country 
to a grinding halt and reels in hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, 
but how did these iconic festivities begin? Carnival begins every year on the 
Friday before Shrove Tuesday and ends on Ash Wednesday. The cities most 
globally-known for their Carnival celebrations are Rio de Janeiro, Olinda, 
Recife and Salvador, yet almost every city in the country has shows, events 
and performances. The popular saying ‘the year doesn’t start in Brazil until after 
Carnival’ is not far from the truth as the long, national Carnival holiday seems to 
encourage putting off all work-related plans for after the festivities are truly over.
