6. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: [5x2=10]
Every day, millions of us climb into our cars and set off on journeys to work, to the shops, or just to enjoy ourselves. And once inside our cars, few of us are inclined to spare a thought for the environmental impact of driving in heavy traffic. Advertising consistently portrays cars as symbols of personal status and freedom, and source of comfort and convenience.
But the costs of our car-dependent life styles are becoming increasingly serious. The hours long traffic jams, demand for new roads, increasing air pollution and threat of climate change are all issues we must tackle sooner rather than later. Nearly all countries have traffic problems, which can be hard to solve. It is a well known fact that cars and buses unlike bicycles use lots of petrol and create great deal of pollution. Local people can reduce some of the problems by choosing to walk rather drive. If we can't get people to walk or share vehicles, we should put more pressure on scientists to build solar powered to electric engines.
