Questions 1 – 6
Q 1. City transport developed slower than other means of communication.
Meaning: 
Did city transport develop slower in comparison with other means of
communication?
Answer: 
True
Part of the passage:
 
THIS is ludicrous! We can talk to people anywhere in the world or 
fly to meet them in a few hours. We can even send probes to other planets. But when it 
comes to getting around our cities, we depend on systems that have scarcely changed 
since the days of Gottlieb Daimler.
Explanation: 
Talking to people, sending probes to other planets are two means of 
communication which are faster than getting around in cities.
Q 2. The pollution caused by city transport has been largely ignored.
Meaning: 
Has the issue of pollution from city transport been largely ignored?
Answer: 
False
Part of the passage: 
In recent years, the pollution belched out by millions of vehicles 
has dominated the debate about transport. The problem has even persuaded Califor-
nia—that home of car culture—to curb traffic growth.
