Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 27. 

For centuries, cities have always attracted lots of people from various backgrounds. From the days of ancient Rome to the bustling streets of modern New York, urban areas have been centres of culture, innovation and economy. As urban population grows, the advantages of city living become more evident.

One of the primary advantages is the abundance of job opportunities. Cities offer a variety of industries, from finance and technology to arts and entertainment, providing diverse employment options. This variety allows individuals to find jobs that match their skills, often with higher salaries compared with those in rural areas.

Another significant advantage is the high quality of education and healthcare and the easy access to cultural exchange. Urban areas typically have more schools, colleges and universities, offering better educational facilities and resources. Additionally, cities are home to modern hospitals and medical centres, ensuring residents have access to excellent healthcare services. Urban living also provides a rich cultural experience. Cities are hubs of cultural activities, including museums, theatres and festivals. In other words, residents are more likely to meet others from different backgrounds and cultures, which fosters opportunities for personal growth and broadens social networks. This vibrant cultural scene allows residents to enjoy different recreational options.

Urban areas have effective infrastructure, thanks to proper investments. Well-maintained roads, efficient public transportation systems, and reliable utilities like water and electricity are common features of cities.

In conclusion, the advantages of urban areas have become vital to modern life. Because urbanization is an ongoing process, more and more people can find what they need in their urban life.
