Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “Why did she live to be 107” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.

Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.

A. the complaints of people in apartment houses
