3.  Day dreaming helps in formation of new ideas – TRUE
4.  Day dreams may become dreams. – NOT GIVEN
5.  Issac Newton said that imagination is more important than knowledge – FALSE
Explanation:
Now, could you guess the reason behind the answers?
For the first question, “decide” means “choose” . From the passage we
understand that, we choose what our daydreams will be about, which we
cannot usually do with dreams. So we cannot decide what to dream. Hence
the statement is FALSE
For the second question, the passage clearly states that many day dreams
are unlikely to happen and only some day dreams are likely to happen. So the
statement is TRUE.
For the third question, “formation” also means “development”. From the
passage we understand that, people in creative fields develop new ideas
through daydreaming. So the statement is TRUE.
For the fourth statement, it is not mentioned anywhere in the passage that
there is a possibility of a day dream to become a dream. So it is NOT GIVEN.
For the fifth question, the passage clearly states that it was Albert Einstein
who said that imagination is more important than knowledge. So the
statement is FALSE.

sentence from the passage clearly indicates that the Thames Tunnel was the
first tunnel ever built under a river. The word “subaqueous” which means
existing, formed, or taking place underwater is also an indicator of the same.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
For the second question, “.. .many believed it was the Eighth Wonder of the
World at the time…. .. “, this sentence from the passage clearly indicates that
it was something people believed at that time. It was not a fact. Hence the
statement is FALSE.
For the third question, the passage does not state how much each class used
the tunnel. So it is NOT GIVEN.
For the fourth question, “In the age of sail and horse-drawn coaches. “sail”
refers to boats (sea) and “horse-drawn coaches” were the method of land
travel, indicating that the statement is TRUE.
For the fifth question, “The aim had been for the tunnel to be used by
wheeled vehicles to transport cargo so that it could bring in a profit.”,
indicates that the aim of the tunnel is not to turn a profit as a tourist
attraction. Hence the statement is FALSE.
