V. Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the
questions about it.
I live in Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt. There are more than ten million people here. A lot
of them have come from the countryside because there are more jobs here.
I live in an apartment near the city center. It is a busy, exciting place. It has cinemas and shops,
but unfortunately there is a lot of traffic too. Many tourists come from all over the world to see the
Pyramids, which are near the city.
I like Cairo because it is big and exciting. I have a lot of friends and it is easy to meet new
people. I am glad that I live here, but my mother doesn’t like it. She used to live in the countryside,
and she would like to go back one day.
