This will probably make you want to visit Luxembourg on your next family vacation: The tiny EU country is seeking to make travel free on its trains, trams and buses as part of efforts to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. The re-elected coalition government of liberal Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said "free public transport will be introduced in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg's territory" from early 2020. 

Georges Merenz, who heads the FNCTTFEL-Landesverband, Luxembourg's main transport union, expressed concerns that the government plan would lead to job losses if nobody was needed to sell tickets. "As long as it is not cleared up, we cannot accept that," Merenz told AFP. He added he was also concerned people in rural areas would not benefit from free travel. 

Statement: 

Luxembourg's transport union is happy with the initiative taken by the government. 

Choose the appropriate one from the following options 

A -The statement is definitely true. 

B -The statement is probably true. 

C-The statement is cannot be determined. 

D -The statement is definitely false.

In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. The majority of the Antarctic continent is covered by permanent ice and snow leaving less than 1% available for colonisation by plants. Most of this ice and snow-free lands are found along the Antarctic Peninsula, its associated islands and in coastal regions around the edge of the Antarctic continent. Even in the most inhospitable ice-free habitats, such as inland mountains and nunataks, life can still be found. There are no trees or shrubs, and only two species of flowering plants are found: Antarctic hair grass and Antarctic pearlwort. The vegetation is predominantly made up of lower plant groups (mosses, liverworts, lichens and fungi) that are specially adapted to surviving in extreme environments – in particular tolerating low temperatures and dehydration. There are around 100 species of mosses, 25 species of liverworts, 300 to 400 species of lichens and 20 species of macro-fungi. The greatest diversity of species is found along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula where the climate is generally warmer and wetter than elsewhere in the Antarctic continent.
Statement: 
Life is impossible in ice-free habitats like inland mountains and nunataks. 
Choose the appropriate one from the following options

In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage. Indonesia's tsunami has raised fears that another deadly wave could wipe out the few dozen Javan rhinos still living in the world. There are fewer than 70 of the critically endangered species in Ujung Kulon National Park not far the volcano that triggered the killer wave. None of the animals are killed in the disaster - which left more than 400 people dead - but officials are warning that another deadly wave could slam into the stricken region. That is putting pressure on conservationists at the National Park to ramp up a longstanding plan to find a suitable secondary habitat for the rhinos. Plans to find a second home for the species have been in the works for about eight years, with conservationists surveying areas all over Java and neighboring Sumatra but so far without success. The shy creature, whose folds of loose skin give it the appearance of wearing armor plating, once numbered in the thousands and roamed across Southeast Asia. But, like other rhino species across the world, poaching and human encroachment on its habitat has led to a dramatic population decline. The rhino horns are used in traditional Asian medicine fetching ever higher prices on the black market despite a lack of scientific evidence showing the horn has any medicinal value. 
Statement: 
There are exactly 70 Javan rhinos still living in in Ujung Kulon National Park.
