According to the passage about Rahim’s bicycle commute in Dhaka, how long does his journey to work now take?
Read the passage: Rahim, a bank clerk in Dhaka, used to spend nearly an hour each morning sitting in a rickshaw stuck in traffic. Six months ago he bought a second-hand bicycle for four thousand taka and began cycling the seven kilometres to work. At first his legs ached and he arrived sweaty, so he started keeping a fresh shirt in his office drawer. Now the journey takes him about twenty-five minutes. He has lost three kilograms, sleeps better and says he feels more alert during morning meetings. The only days he leaves the bicycle at home are during heavy monsoon downpours, when the roads near his house flood. Two of his colleagues have since asked him for advice on buying bicycles of their own.
Correct answer C. About twenty-five minutes
The passage clearly states that the journey now takes him about twenty-five minutes, compared with nearly an hour when he travelled by rickshaw.
