Answers: 1 b, 2 b, 3 a, 4 c, 5 c.
Reasons:
- b — Joseph saw pieces of paper being lifted by hot air/smoke over a fire; that gave him the idea for a flying machine.
- b — He hoped to become an engineer.
- a — Burning straw heated the air inside the balloon, so the balloon rose.
- c — The first flight was a public event, watched by a lot of people.
- c — They asked the king for permission to send some people up in the balloon.
Reading tip: For each question, find the key phrase — got the idea, hoped to be, burned straw to, watched by, asked permission to — then choose the option that matches that exact detail, not just a generally true idea.
