Tip of the Day In Paragraph Summary questions, options that cover the key points of the paragraph, but change the tone of the paragraph, subtly or otherwise, are to be avoided. Look for options that address the essence of the paragraph. Last year's Question of the day (18-Jul-11) Sidney Cotton was born in Australia and moved to England to serve in the Royal Naval Air Service. He was a close friend of Ian Fleming during WWII and is also considered an inspiration for Q, because of the gadgets he invented: camouflage for aircraft, an upward firing gun mounting, long range bombing methods, and the cottonising process which improved the Spitfire by 65 km/h. He devised a method for taking aerial photographs and then used it to take photos of German munitions factories, airfields, troop concentrations and anti-aircraft batteries and even Hitler's personal yacht. He often posed as a businessman, an archaeologist or a film producer looking for locations for a movie so he could take his spy photographs.
What can we conclude about Sidney Cotton from the passage?
