Question 23: What can be inferred about cycling at the university?

Question 23

+2 marksOne correct option

Read the following conversation and answer the given subquestions:
Karan: Right, so shall we discuss what we have to do for this project then?
Lavanya: Yes, it says we have to ‘Investigate some aspect of the university facilities’.
Paul: Yeah, we have to design a questionnaire, don’t we?
Lavanya: Yes. And we have to write a report and do a presentation.
Paul: How long does it have to be? 1000 words, isn’t it?
Lavanya: Let me see. The report has to be between 1000 and 1500 words, and we have to do that on our own, but we do the presentation and the investigation as a group.
Lavanya: So, have you got any ideas about what we can investigate?
Karan: I know one of the other groups is looking at the university library and whether it’s adequate for student needs.
Paul: Yes, and one group’s doing the sports center.
Karan: I was wondering about investigating transport.
Paul: Transport?
Lavanya: Yes, we could look at whether people think the bus service is regular enough, and we could also look at car parking facilities.
Paul: We could look at the cycle parking facilities too. There’s never enough space for all the cycles in the cycle sheds. I’m sure the university could afford to build more, what with all the fees we pay. Karan: OK, I’m happy with that idea. So, how should we go about the investigation then? Lavanya: Well, we could make some questionnaires. I can ask the people who travel on buses, and Paul, you can ask cyclists, and Karan, you do a questionnaire for car drivers.
Karan: Shouldn’t we write the questions together, rather than individually?
Lavanya: Yes, that’s what I meant, we can write the questionnaires together, but each of us can be responsible for carrying out the questionnaires individually. Does that sound okay?
Karan: It sounds good. Okay, well, let’s think about these questions then.
