Then he took the bus to his grandfather's village, about half an hour from the city. His cousins were already there, and they all had lunch in the garden.

Read the text and answer the question.

The letter had been in the drawer for nineteen years, and Ruth had promised herself she would never open it. Her mother's handwriting on the envelope — 'For Ruth, when she is ready' — had once seemed a kindness. Lately it felt like a sentence hanging over her.

She made tea she did not drink and stood at the window while it went cold. Below in the courtyard, her neighbour was teaching his small daughter to ride a bicycle, running bent over behind her, letting go and pretending he hadn't. Ruth watched the child wobble, steady, and sail on alone, triumphant, not yet aware she was unsupported. Something in her chest loosened as she watched.

When she finally sat down and slid her thumb under the seal, she noticed her hands were steady. That surprised her. For years she had imagined this moment accompanied by some dramatic weather of feeling — grief, or anger, or the particular guilt of the daughter who had not visited enough. Instead there was only a quiet, level attention, as though she were about to hear her mother speak calmly after a long silence, and it occurred to her that this — not courage, not forgiveness — might be what 'ready' had meant all along.

Question: Why is the scene with the bicycle significant?

A It mirrors Ruth's own moment of discovering she can manage unsupported. B It distracts Ruth so long that her tea goes cold. C It shows that Ruth disapproves of her neighbour's dishonesty. D It reminds Ruth of learning to ride a bicycle with her mother.

Twenty years ago, the fishing village of Portelo appeared in few guidebooks, and its narrow streets belonged to the 800 people who lived there. Then a budget airline opened a route to the regional airport, a film crew used the harbour as a location, and photographs of its painted houses began to spread on social media. Today Portelo receives close to 9,000 visitors a day in high season — more than ten times its population.

The effects have been dramatic. Souvenir shops and cafés have replaced the bakery, the pharmacy and the fishmonger, forcing residents to drive to the next town for basic shopping. Rents have tripled as landlords convert apartments into holiday lets, and younger families, unable to compete, have moved inland. The village school, which had 70 pupils a decade ago, now has 23.

The local council is trying to regain control. Coaches must now park outside the village, day-trippers pay a small entry fee in July and August, and new holiday-rental licences have been suspended. Critics say these measures arrived a decade too late, and that Portelo has already traded its identity for tourist income. Supporters reply that without tourism the village would have declined anyway, as fishing alone could no longer support it.

Question: What is the critics' main objection to the council's measures?

A They unfairly punish landlords who own holiday lets. B They were introduced far too late to save the village's character. C They do nothing to support the fishing industry. D They will discourage the tourists the village depends on.

Dear Ana,

I'm at the gym until seven, so please start dinner. The soup is already in the fridge — just warm it up on the cooker, but don't make it too hot! Then wash the tomatoes and cut some bread. Grandma is coming at half past seven, so please put four plates on the table, not three. Oh, and take the ice cream out of the freezer at seven — it's too hard to eat when it's frozen. Thanks! You're the best.

Mum

Question: Why does Ana need four plates?

A One plate is for the ice cream. B Mum is bringing a friend. C Grandma is coming to dinner. D The family always uses four.
