1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. (15)

If the traffic congestion gets any worse , there is likely to be permanent traffic jam in the town center during working hours, which will make it impossible for shops and businesses to operate efficiently.

The proposed scheme for banning cars from the center is, however, unlikely to solve this problem. This ban

Will only cause more congestion in the suburbs, and in any case there are many people who genuinely need to take their cars to work. A much better solution would be to double the number of train services into the center, and to halve the fares. This would encourage people to stay off the roads, and would avoid the bad feeling that the present scheme seems likely to cause among the business community.
