Q: Dialogue: M: Are you looking forward to a trip to Canada, Julie? W: I can't wait to see Canada, Jack. But I'm afraid of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. M: There is nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? W: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. M: And how often do you hear of a plane accident? Once or twice a year? W: Yes, but planes fly so high and fast that one accident is enough. M: Look, there are more road deaths per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. W: I'd still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but at least you can relax. M: It's fine if you are a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? W: No, I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the river on a sightseeing tour. But in any case, I'd rather be seasick than dead.' Question: After Jack's persuasion, what does Julie think about her trip? - She likes to fly to Canada. - She'd still prefer sailing to flying. - She can't make a decision.
A: She'd still prefer sailing to flying.
