Câu 1: Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.

**The Ao Dai: A Vietnamese Cultural Icon**

The Ao Dai is Vietnam"s traditional long dress, a symbol of grace and beauty. Its history is long and complex, evolving through different periods. Originally, it resembled a loose-fitting, two-piece outfit worn by both men and women. In the 17th century, under the Nguyen Lords, a more formal version was developed, closer to the style we recognize today, featuring a long tunic with slits on the sides, worn over trousers. This design aimed to distinguish people from the north and the south.

In the early 20th century, Vietnamese designers, influenced by French fashion, modernized the Ao Dai. They made it more fitted, using softer fabrics and adding elements like padded shoulders. This period saw the birth of the "Le Mur" style, named after the artist Nguyen Cat Tuong, who signed his designs "Le Mur". The 1950s and 1960s are often considered the "golden age" of the Ao Dai, with various innovative designs emerging, though the basic form remained.

Despite periods of decline, the Ao Dai has endured. Today, it is widely worn for special occasions such as weddings, Tet (Lunar New Year), and formal ceremonies. Schoolgirls in many regions wear white Ao Dai as their uniform, symbolizing purity and youth. While daily wear has shifted towards Western clothing, the Ao Dai remains a powerful cultural statement, representing national identity and heritage. Its simple elegance and flowing lines continue to inspire both local and international designers.
