Question 1:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
MISSING THE TRAINING
The train I was traveling on was already half an hour late. I had arranged to arrive in Vienna at 7.15 in time to catch the 7.25 train to Paris, but there was no hope of that now. I explained the situations to the ticket collector who advised me to get off two stops before Vienna Central Station and take a taxi. When the time came, he even helped me with my luggage. He wished me good luck as I jumped off, and a few minutes late I was racing towards the center of the city in a taxi. It was almost 7.25 when we stopped outside the station, paid the driver quickly, seize my bags and inside hurry. “Paris train?” was all I had time to say to the first official I saw. You could imagine my disappointment when he pointed to a train that was just moving out of the station at great speed!
