Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
People have been trying to build a flying cat for a long time. So far, no
one has been able to get a vehicle off the ground safely. But engineers keep
trying!
One problem is that flying cars need wings. The wings must be designed,
so they will not stick out into other road lanes. Engineers are looking for
solutions to that problem.
Two kinds of flying cars are being developed that may solve the problem.
One type is called the Transition. It has rotating blades that spin and lift the car.
These blades fold flat against the sides when the car is on the ground. Another
kind is named the Skycar. It has large propellers. These propeller wings fold up
and can be packed in the car's trunk.
Flying cars will not just fly up from the road. They will have to take off
from an airport runway. Still, some people are eager to have one of their own.

Nobody is sure when flying cars will be available, but one company already has
a hundred customers waiting for one. So fasten your seat belts, and get ready for
takeoff. Someday, cars may be on the road and in the air!
