   • B. Italy
   • C. France

   Answer: Spain

   Correct. Paragraph 1 says "next summer I am going to Spain with my family." England is where Leo lives now (he flies from London), and Italy and France are never mentioned.

   • B. His friends
   • C. His school
   • D. Nobody, he goes alone

   Answer: His family

3. 3. How long is the flight to Barcelona?

   • A. Two hours ✓
   • B. Five hours
   • C. One day

   Answer: Two hours

   Correct. Paragraph 2 says "The flight is short — only two hours." The other times are not in the text; the word "short" also tells you the flight is not long.
