The postal zoning system in the United States began in 1943 with the introduction of the one or two digit zone number. These numbers identified a delivery station of a metropolitan post office. On July 1,1963, Mr Zip introduced the Zone Improvement Plan. This was a five digit national coding system used to identify each postal delivery section. The first digit identifies one of ten geographical areas, with the second digit denoting a state, part of a heavily populated state, or two or three less populated states. The third digit designates a major metropolitan postal facility or sectional center, with the fourth and fifth digits picking up the original zone number.
The Federal German Post Office became the first to use the current postal code system to speed delivery. The function of a code system is to help in address scanning and the automated processing of mail, and to speed up mail sorting. Approximately 97 percent of all mail delivered in the United States uses the Zip Code. In 1974, the United States Postal Service issued a postage stamp to publicize the numerical system.
The Zip Code, the numerical system, was publicized in ______.

A. 1943
B. 1963
C. 1974
D. not know.

In Britain until recently the fine arts-painting, sculpture, printmaking, and so on-were seen as distinct from craft disciplines and the various metalworking disciplines. This distinction arose from the Arts and Crafts Movement whose political aim was to value daily art forms as much as high forms.
The result of the conflict between the two groups was to politicize the products of what we now know as visual artists. British art schools made a clear distinction between the fine arts (a term that hints at their supposed superiority) and the crafts in such a way that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of high art. Although this is no longer the case, the inequality between the crafts or applied arts and the so-called fine arts still exists in some quarters.
A similar stigma exists in the US, where "arts and crafts" has a very particular meaning, referring to the sort of artwork first taught in elementary school and also (later in life) a variety of kitsch, household artwork. Most craftspeople are still seen as practicing something other than "fine art" among the traditional art school set, but, of course, can produce "high art", in any medium.
Which is (are) the form. (s) of the visual arts?

A. Painting.
B. Sculpture.
C. Photography.
D. All of the above.

A. donate
B. take
C. bring
