Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Living in a big city today is very different from living in a small town long ago. Today, if you want to go to the city center, it takes you a long time by bus or by car. If you ride a motorbike, you breathe all the exhaust fumes and feel sick. However, if you become ill, there are hospitals close by.

If they went a long distance, the journey took days, not hours. If they were ill, they didn't go to the hospitals, there were none. If there was a wedding or holiday, they sang and danced. 28.
