Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Dickson Despommier, a public health professor at Columbia University in New York City developed an idea with his students nine years ago. They imagined people in cities growing crops inside a tall building. Tomatoes could grow on one floor of the skyscraper , potatoes on the next, small animals and fish on the floor above. This vertical farm, or "farmscraper", could have space for restaurants and other places that serve food, like schools or hospitals. They could serve foods that are truly locally grown. But why would anyone want to build a farm indoors in a city? Dickson Despommier believes it will become necessary. The world needs to find places to produce enough food to feed the growing population. Space, he says, is an all-important issue. The professor also points to the problems of traditional farms. They use a lot of freshwater. Their fertilizer and animal waste can pollute water resources. And their growing seasons can be limited. But inside the vertical farm, crops could grow all year. And there would be no wind to blow away soil. Farmers would not have to worry about too much or too little rain, or about hot summers, freezing winters or insects. And without insects there would be no need for chemicals to kill them. Farm machines that .use fossil fuels, like tractors, would not be needed either. And water could be recycled for drinking. "The vertical farm reuses everything, so there is no waste," says Professor Despommier. Even buildings could be saved. Old buildings could become new farms and provide jobs. The professor has been actively proposing the idea to cities as far away as Dubai and Canada. But so far it exists only in plans and drawings, and a model at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Critics say building a farmscraper would cost too much, especially considering the price of land in many cities. Dickson Despommier estimates the cost at about twenty to thirty million dollars. But he says the building would not have to be very tall. And his graduate students have found many...

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. "Excuse me",said a young man,standing shyly at the open church door. "I'm here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place?""Well,we have baskets,but they're not Easter baskets for kids;they're food baskets,"I explained. That morning I arrived at St.Michael's Church in Carmichael,California,to help give out the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one,we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham,potatoes,bread,vegetables,and a pie--enough food to help feed a family for a week. "Why don't you come in?"I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said,"I can't...My daughter is waiting for me over there. I'm grateful for the food,but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter...well,I thought they would be Easter baskets for children." He continued,"I promised my daughter one,and I wanted to surprise her." I felt bad,but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number,and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge in one of the baskets caught my eye. "What is that?"I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely,I could see,unmistakably,an Easter basket--filled with candy,chocolate,and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake!I thought. Then I looked at the man's number in my hand. Well,he'll be... "Happy Easter,"I said to the man,handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside--the very same basket with his number on it. "Someone knew just what you needed."
A: Question: The young man looked disappointed at first because _ .Options:A he was told not to take a food basketB there was little food in the Easter basketC he came so late that all the baskets had been given outD he was told that he wouldn't get what he wantedAnswer:D

Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Papa's jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams--not to succeed but to fail. "It's unbelievable!" he said. "Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!" "Yes, she has," said Mama. "But it's not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team." "Wanted off the swimming team?" said Papa. "She never said anything about that to me." "Of course she didn't," said Mama. "She was afraid you'd _ . You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn't have been much fun." "Oh, my gosh!" Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. "I've been so stupid! I just thought she'd want to be a champion swimmer because she's so good at it." "It's like anything else, dear," said Mama. "No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won't want to do it anymore." Papa put his head in his hands. "She must be really mad at me," he mumbled. "Maybe I should say sorry to her." Sister's footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents. "Honey," said Mama with a smile, "your papa and I have decided that there's no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don't want to." Sister's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Yippee!" she cried. "And," added Papa, "there's no need for any more drills. I'm sure you'll bring your grades back up all by yourself." Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. "I'm going to go play cards with Lizzy!" she said. "See you later!" From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy's house. "It's good to see her happy again," said Mama. "It sure is," Papa agreed. "As for the swimming team, there's always next year." "If?" Mama prompted him. "Oh, right," said Papa. "If she wants to." Mama smiled. "At least you're learning, dear," she said. She kissed him. "Well, you...
