=> Answer: NOT GIVEN

Keywords: opposition, design

Based on the question and particularly the key words, we need to find the information about the opposition to the design. Obviously, this information is not mentioned in the text. According to paragraph 3, numerous ideas were submitted for the project but the author does not point out whether anyone opposed the plan that was adopted. So, this statement is NOT GIVEN

1. The Falkirk Wheel was initially put together at the location where its components were manufactured.

=> Answer: TRUE

Key words: put together, location, components, manufactured

Based on the question and particularly the key words, we need to find the information about the Wheel‟s location. According to paragraph 5, “The various parts of the Falkirk Wheel were all constructed and assembled at Butterley Engineering‟s Steelworks in Derbyshire…”. So the statement and the information in the text have the same meaning.

• 
  put together = assembled
  
• 
  components = parts
  
• 
  manufactured = constructed
  

=> The statement is TRUE

1. The Falkirk Wheel is the only boat lift in the world which has steel sections bolted together by hand.

=> Answer: NOT GIVEN

Key words: only, by hand

Actually, the author did mention how steel sections of the Falkirk Wheel were bolted (at the end of paragraph 4 : “…to make the structure more robust, the steel sections

were bolted rather than welded together. Over 45,000 bolt holes were matched with their bolts and each bolt was hand-tightened”). However, he did not indicate whether this is unique or not. So, the statement is NOT GIVEN.

1. The weight of the gondolas varies according to the size of boat being carried

=> Answer: FALSE

Key words: weight, varies.

Based on the question and particularly the key words, we need to identify whether the gondolas‟ weight is influenced by the size of boat being carried. According to paragraph 5, “These gondolas always weigh the same, whether or not they are carrying boats”. So the statement is FALSE.

1. The construction of the Falkirk Wheel site took into account the presence of a nearby ancient monument
