Read the text and then choose the correct answer to the question below. [1] Elon Musk, who, in the past, worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced that he has been working on the design of a traveling tube that can quickly take people whenever they want to go, inside a tiny pod, which could forever change the way we travel. [2] In an interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transport. ’’We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats.’’ he explained. ‘’ what if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it, it’s called the Hyperloop’’. [3] The Hyperloop would help people travel between major cities in a short time. This was what mainly encouraged Musk to design the Hyperloop. Musk stated in an interview that he came up with the idea for the Hyperloop while thinking about the train that takes people between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is known for being very slow. [4] ‘’You would go from downtown Los Angeles to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes’’, he added. ‘’It would cost you much less than an air ticket and less than any other mode of transport. ‘’Musk also believes the Hyperloop could be powered by the sun, which makes it safer for the environment than cars, planes, or trains. [5] Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West coasts of the United States in less than an hour, which is faster than any other mode of transport. Eventually, the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world. Question 1: What does the underline word ‘it’ refer to in paragraph [3]?
