Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are still 10,000 or so red telephone boxes on Britain’s streets, including Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s 1924 Kiosk 2 prototype, which you will find outside the Royal Academy on Piccadilly in London. The K2 was voted the greatest British design of all time in 2015. But what is to be done with them in the age of the smartphone? Some have found new life as mini-libraries, many house defibrillators, others are used as coffee stands and most are purely decorative. Meanwhile, if you’re nostalgic for the days when telephone boxes were handsome, useful items of street furniture, you can buy a K6 box for £2,750 (plus VAT and delivery) through BT’s approved reseller X2Connect.
John Farmer, who describes himself as an activist shareholder, is a man with a mission – to save Britain’s red phone boxes. These were once a feature of every high street in the country, but now number only 10,000 or so (and half of those are decorative rather than operational).In 2015 the traditional red phone box was voted the greatest British design of all time, ahead of the Routemaster bus, the Spitfire, the Union Jack and Concorde. There are still numerous Scott kiosks in central London, many of which have been listed as historically or architecturally significant – a response to the destruction of many boxes by the newly formed British Telecom in the 1980s.Across the UK, more than 3,000 kiosks have been listed, including all the K2s, so there is no danger of them disappearing from Britain’s streets. Since 2008, rather than remove decommissioned ones that have not been listed, BT has allowed local councils and charities to repurpose them under its adopt-a-kiosk scheme. More than 5,000 have been adopted.
Scott’s kiosks are loved in part because they are redolent of a time when the British were willing to build a small house from which anyone could make a call. They represent civic pride and national confidence – both are now in short supply.
Question:
The kiosks are not being destroyed or removed because:

Option 1: people love them on the streets

Option 2: they are identified as historically important

Option 3: they won a British design award

Option 4: they are still used by a few people

Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
