Read the following text to answer questions number 16-18Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known to modern Javanese as Kraton Ratu Boko or Ratu Boko’s Palace. Ratu Boko is located on a plateau, about 3 kilometers south of Roro Jonggrang Prambanan Temple complex in Yogyakarta. The local inhabitants name this site after King Boko, the legendary king mentioned in Roro Jonggrang folklore. In Javanese, Ratu Boko means “Stork Queen”.
In striking contrast to other classic-period sites in Central Java and Yogyakarta, which are ramains of temples, Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or settlement site, although its precise function is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belonged to the kings of Syailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also built temples scattered across the Prambanan temples. It is based on the fact that this complex is not a temple nor building with religious nature, but a fortified palace instead, which is evidence of a remnant of fortified walls and the dry moat of defensive structures.
Ratu Boko stands 196 meters above sea level and covers an area of 250.000 square meters. It is divided into four parts, the central, the west, the southeast and the east. The central section of the compound consists of the main gates, a crematorium temple, a pool, a stone pedestal, and the paseban (an audience hall). The southeast part covers the pendopo (the attached open pavilion), a balai-balai (a public hall or building), 3 miniature temples, a pool and a walled compound popularly named by locals as kaputren (women’s quarter).

A camera may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A still camera is an optical device which creates a single image of an object or scene, and records it on an electronic sensor or photographic film. A shutter mechanism controls the length of time that light can enter the camera. Most photographic cameras have functions that allow a person to view the scene to be recorded, allow for a desired part of the scene to be in focus, and to control the exposure so that it is not too bright or too dim. A display, often a liquid crystal display (LCD), permits the user to view scene to be recorded and settings such as ISO speed, exposure, and shutter speed.
A movie camera or a video camera operates similarly to a still camera, except it records a series of static images in rapid succession, commonly at a rate of 24 frames per second. When the images are combined and displayed in order, the illusion of motion is achieved.
