Land, water & air transport

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. What is a sheltered area of water where boats and ships dock safely to load passengers and cargo: a harbour (or port) or a hangar?
Harbour (or port)
Harbours and ports protect moored vessels from open-ocean waves.
2. What bridge or tunnel structure allows pedestrians to cross safely over or under a busy railway line or highway: a footbridge (or underpass) or a slipway?
Footbridge (or underpass)
A footbridge or underpass separates people walking from fast-moving traffic.
3. What safety item should every passenger wear when travelling in a small boat or speedboat: a lifejacket (personal flotation device) or roller skates?
Lifejacket (personal flotation device)
A properly fitted lifejacket keeps a person afloat in the water.
4. What traditional wooden boat is used across the Maldives for fishing and inter-island travel: a dhoni or a gondola?
Dhoni
The dhoni is the traditional multi-purpose vessel of the Maldives.
5. What safety strap must drivers and passengers fasten across their chest and lap inside a car or bus: a seatbelt or a shoelace?
Seatbelt
Seatbelts keep passengers securely in their seats during sudden stops.
6. How does a sailboat move across the water without using a fuel engine: the wind pushes against its sails, or horses pull it?
The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
7. What safety equipment protects a cyclist’s head when riding a bicycle: a cycle helmet or a sun umbrella?
Cycle helmet
A cycle helmet absorbs impact to protect the head.
8. Does a helicopter travel on land, on water, or in the air?
In the air
A helicopter uses spinning overhead rotor blades to fly in the air.
9. What is the long, flat paved strip at an airport where aeroplanes accelerate to take off and touch down to land: a runway or a harbour?
Runway
Aircraft take off and land along the airport runway.
10. Which form of transport uses zero fuel, makes no smoke, and exercises your legs on short trips: walking (or cycling) or flying in a jet?
Walking (or cycling)
Walking and cycling are human-powered active transport.
11. Which large road vehicle carries hoses, water pumps and ladders to help firefighters put out fires: a fire engine or a taxi?
Fire engine
Fire engines transport firefighters and rescue equipment to emergencies.
12. Why are giant container ships used to transport goods like grain, clothing and electronics across oceans: one ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes, or ships fly over mountains?
One ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes
Maritime container shipping has the lowest energy use per tonne-kilometre for bulk ocean trade.
