I) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow by choosing the most appropriate
option: (10 Marks)
Airplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even the hardened
travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the grave disadvantage of being
the most expensive form of transport but nothing can match them for speed and
comfort. Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500
miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. An airplane gets you to your
destination rapidly.
For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a free
film show and sip a hot or cold drink on some services. But even when such refreshments are not
available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An airplane offers you an unusual breathtaking view of the
world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land.
If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken clouds, plains that
stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth
that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time,
one thing is certain: the best advantage is that you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled.
You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey.
Airplanes hold a number of advantages over car, train and bus travel. It is unquestionably the fastest
way to get to your destination. They are often more comfortable than some of the alternatives. They
offer a controlled climate at a comfortable temperature and reclining seats. Airplanes also generally give
passengers the chance to stretch their legs during the trip and often provide free beverages. First-class
and business-class accommodations include large, premium seating, high-quality complimentary meals
and other amenities.
Flying has made the world a smaller and more accessible place. Since far travel only takes a matter of
hours by jet, it's also a benefit for business, because it allows qualified specialists to take employment
where they're needed the most. Air travel also brings tourists to any sections of the world.
