Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Hey everyone! Today, I want to share a problem I noticed in my city and some smart solutions from other places.

Last week, I saw an elderly woman struggling to cross a busy street near the market. Cars didn’t stop, even at the crosswalk. Did you know? In my city, most pedestrian accidents happen because drivers ignore crosswalks. But there’s hope! I read about Seoul, South Korea, where they involved local communities to improve pedestrian safety. They painted bright blue crosswalks near schools and installed flashing lights. The result? Accidents dropped by 45% in one year! They also banned cars from speeding in these zones with strict fines. These changes not only helped children and the elderly but also made drivers more careful in busy areas.

Another issue in my city is plastic waste. Every day, thousands of plastic bags end up in our rivers. But Rwanda found a solution - they encouraged reusable bags and completely banned plastic bags in 2008. Now, their streets are 90% cleaner than before! More people also started using cloth bags because they are stronger and better for the environment.

What if we try these ideas here? Imagine safer streets and less trash! What other creative solutions have you seen? Share your thoughts!
