19th Century



___ 2. Cities in the late 19th century expanded with the development of all the following except
             A. subways
             B. skycrapers
             C. airplanes
             D. suspension bridges


Number 2 is the only question I missed on the quiz, I put letter D. suspension bridges though the correct answer is letter C. airplanes. I got this question wrong because, to be honest I just randomly picked a letter just not to leave it blank and because I did not have the knowledge to answer it, although I understood the question.

As a test taker I think I always do good and I usually miss a few questions which leads to decent score, but in this case I only missed one question because I did not have the knowledge to answer it, well maybe I did, but I guess I forgot. So next time I have to study a little bit better to improve my test scores.
