Q
Monorail is a type of railway that has a track that is a single rail. Monorails are used for
passenger railway transport but they are also used in airport transfer and for medium
capacity metros.

Monorail became more popular from the 1980s, with a rise in urbanization and traffic.
Japan, one of the earliest users of monorail has one of the busiest monorails: Tokyo
Monorail. It serves over 127,000 passengers per day and since it began its operation in
1964 it has served more than 1.5 billion passengers. Now, modern monorail systems
are built in China, India and Malta (which plans the longest monorail network in the
world.)

Today, the most common type of monorail is the straddle-beam. In this variant, train
straddles a steel or reinforced concrete beam that is between 0.5 to 1 m wide. Carriage
transfers the movement to the beam with traction of rubber tires. This also stabilizes
the carriage. Some variants are of suspension type and they have carriages that hang
below the rail with steel wheels that are above the rail. Motor of suspension monorail is
also above the rail driving the wheels.

Q
Epcot is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The park's name,
EPCOT, is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, a utopian city of
the future planned by Walt Disney, often interchanging "city" and "community." It is owned and
operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Parks and Resorts division.

Inspired by an unrealized concept developed by Walt Disney, the park opened on October 1,
1982  and was the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World, after the Magic
Kingdom. Spanning 300 acres (120 ha), more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park,
Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely
technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a
"permanent world's fair".

The park is divided into two sections: Future World, made up of eight pavilions, and World
Showcase, themed to 11 world nations. The World Showcase usually opens two hours after
park opening and remains open later than the Future World section of the park. Most major
attractions in Future World remain open until the park's closing time. A secondary park gate is
located between the France and United Kingdom pavilions of World Showcase and is known
as the International Gateway. The International Gateway is directly accessible to guests
arriving from the nearby Epcot Area Resorts and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

In 2015, the park hosted about 11.98 million guests, ranking it the third-most-visited theme
park in North America and the sixth-most-visited theme park in the world. The park is
represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere that also serves as an attraction. Epcot
was known as EPCOT Center until 1994 when it was renamed Epcot '94, then Epcot '95, now
commonly known simply as Epcot.

Questions 42 – 44 refer to the following information.

Ibtihaj Muhammad was born on December 4, 1985 in Maplewood, New Jersey. She is one of
five children born to parents Eugene and Denise Muhammad. From a young age,
Muhammad had a competitive streak and loved sports. However, participating in sports at
school sometimes conflicted with her religious observance to dress modestly. Often when
playing sports, her mother Denise had to alter the uniforms to add long sleeves or covering
for her legs. When she was 13, Muhammad and her mother discovered fencing when they
saw a high school fencing team practice as they drove home. "The kids were wearing their
long pants and hats, and my mom just thought, 'This is perfect,'" Muhammad said. "That's
where it all began." Fencing was an ideal opportunity to participate in sports while wearing a
hijab. Unlike when she played other sports, she also did not feel out of place amongst her
teammates.

Muhammad attended Maplewood’s Columbia High School, where she excelled and became
captain of the fencing team for two years and helped win two state championships. Ibtihaj
Muhammad attended Duke University on a scholarship. She graduated in 2007 with dual
bachelor’s degrees in international relations and African-American studies with a minor in
Arabic. During her first year at college in 2004, she earned All-America honors with a record
of 49-8. From there, she went on to place second at the mid-Atlantic/South Regional and
21st at the Junior Olympics. The following year, she finished 11th for saber at the NCAA
Championships, and earned her second consecutive All-America honors. A third would come
in 2006.

In 2009, Muhammad elevated her training when she was coached by the 2000 U.S.
Olympian, Akhi Spencer-El. That same year, she won a national title. Since then Muhammad
has become a five-time Senior World Team medalist. She helped her team take home gold
for the United States in 2014 in Kazan, Russia. Throughout her career, she has earned
numerous medals for both team and individual events on the World Cup circuit. In 2012,
7
Muhammad was named Muslim Sportswoman of the year. In 2016, Muhammad earned a
spot on the U.S. Saber Fencing Team for the Olympics in Rio. She is the first Muslim woman
to wear a hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf, to represent the United States at the
Olympics.
