VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
I have been living in a big city since the day I was born. While it offers many advantages, living in a crowded city isn’t a great experience. One of the most frustrating things about big cities is traffic jam. It can happen anywhere at any given times. Half of my time on the road is just being stuck in traffic waiting for other cars to move. In addition, more people means more vehicles on the road which leads to air pollution.

From housing to food, everything is ridiculously overpriced because of high demand. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t be living in a crowded city at all.
