This part consists of a reading passage, followed by several related question. For each question, choose the most appropriate answer based on the text.

Cyprus is an island in the eastern Mediterranean, close to Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. The majority of the island’s population are Greek, both in culture and language, with the remaining minority being mostly Turkish. The British controlled the island from 1878 until 1960, when it got its independence, during which the demographic divide shaped its constitution. 

To quell Turkey’s concerns over prosecutions of the Turks in Cyprus, the governments’ institutions and positions were split almost evenly between the two groups with the Turks also having veto-powers over any constitutional changes, even though they were the minority. To ensure the republic’s survivability, Greece, Turkey and Britain were signatory parties to a pact that made them responsible for the republic’s unity and safety. 

In the late 1960’s, a nationalistic military junta took over Greece, and started inflating tensions between the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots with the aim of causing the Greeks to seek annexation by Greece. In 1974, the Greek Junta government caused a coup-d’etat, which overthrew the president of Cyprus, Archibishop Makarios III, and installed a pro-enosis (the Greek term for unification between Cyprus and Greece) president. Turkey demanded that the new president be replaced, and the legally elected Makarios III reinstated in order to ensure that Greece does not take over the island. When their demands went unanswered, the Turkish army invaded the island. Eventually, a ceasefire was called, with the Turkish army controlling over a third of the island. The divide of the island was followed by major population exchanges, causing a demographic divide between the Greek Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
