Questions 16-20: Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose the<br /> best answer by circling one letter (A, B, C or D).<br /> It is well known that the building development company Cityspace wants to knock<br /> down the existing seafront sports club in Layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will<br /> consist of a multi-screen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. But a local action<br /> group has promised to fight the £30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has<br /> provided family facilities for over 25 years.<br /> The action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. Members of<br /> the group argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town<br /> looks. They also dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less<br /> healthy activities such as video games and films. Apart from the size of the project, they say<br /> that the 550 parking spaces provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult<br /> as a result.<br /> Local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but the action group says that in general<br /> it will only have a bad effect on the neighbourhood. According to one group member it will<br /> result in up to 4,000 people being around Layton seafront late at night. „A lot of old people<br /> and families live nearby,‟ he explained.

What will the reader discover from the article?<br /> A. how long it will take to complete the new leisure centre<br /> B. how many members the action group has<br /> C. how much it will cost to join the new leisure centre<br /> D. how long the sports club has been in Layton<br /> 18. What does the action group think about the new leisure centre?<br /> A. It will not be right for the area.<br /> B. It will cost too much to build.<br /> C.
