Hi Sinem, let's solve this reading comprehension passage together. We have a text about the history of Pan American World Airways and a couple of questions to answer. Let's start by breaking down the key parts of the text.
Pan American World Airways Passage Analysis
Let's look at the first question: What can be inferred about the second Pan American company? First, let's understand what is meant by the second Pan American company.
Question 1: Inferring about the Second Pan American Company
The passage states that Pan Am went through two incarnations after 1991. The first incarnation after 1991 operated from 1996 to 1998. The second incarnation after 1991 is the current incarnation.
- First Incarnation (after 1991): Operated from 1996 to 1998\n- Second Incarnation (after 1991): The current incarnation (Pan Am "Clipper Connection")
Now, let's look at the text describing this second incarnation, which is the current one. The passage says: The airline currently flies to destinations in the north-eastern United States, Florida, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.
Since it currently flies, it still operates as an airline company. Also, it flies to destinations in both the United States and the Dominican Republic, which represent at least two different countries. Therefore, Option A is the correct and logical inference.
