Question

Q. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The word motel is derived from two words= motor and hotel. It had its origin in the early days of motoring a traveller tired and weary after a day's journey sought some shelter for the night in a farmer's stable and was willing to pay a small fee for the accommodation. Today the roads of America are lined with motels, and millions use them every night. Often they run on both sides of a road leading into a town. But they are also found in isolated areas far away from any settlement.

There are many kinds of motels. Some of them are imitations of English villages with thatched roofs. Some are attractive log cabins of American origin. Some are set up in the style of Spanish estate, some look like Eskimo igloos. Motels can be simple shacks with bare floors and rudimentary furnishings, or luxurious places offering accommodation of the standard of a Five Star Hotel. In the Far West, where they have reached their highest development, many are located around palm-clad swimming pools and have their own restaurants. Some have facilities for doing the traveller's laundry while he sleeps, and servicing his car during the night. Most have attractive gardens with tables and chairs under trees, where the motorist spends a pleasant hour before going to bed.

In most States, roadside tourist camps are strictly supervised by the local authorities who ensure that high standards of cleanliness and comfort are maintained. The cabins themselves may be small: one-room affairs or four-room houses large enough to put up a whole family. Some have kitchens with refrigerator and cooking pots and pans. In the West, almost all are air-conditioned, so that they are fresh and cool when the temperature outside is rather high and in the winter they are centrally heated. A great many offer television sets in every cabin.

Like other travellers, you can select a motel which is clean and quiet, and is provided with a shower-bath, good beds and comfortable furniture. The cost may vary between $30 for a single cabin to three times as much for a more elaborate one. The great advantage in a motel is freedom of movement. One pays the money on registering drives to the door of one's own cabin, unpacks just so much luggage as is needed for the night, and leaves early in the morning, if one wants to start the journey early. There are no hotel bellboys to tip, no waiting for the bill, no problem of where to leave the car.
