Transcript:

Although Hawaii may be the most geographically isolated spot on the planet, it is a land full of contrasts. On the island of Oahu, for instance, we can find urban Honolulu, the state capitol, which is a cosmopolitan metropolis that is increasingly spreading, whereas the entire island of Molokai, a short 50 miles away, is home to less than 10,000 residents and no traffic lights. Kauai, on the other hand, is the land of natural untouched beauty, while Maui is a good spot for a relaxing getaway and for practicing surf. Thus, this American state has a lot to offer to all those who would like to explore unique islands, experience the warmth of the locals, and enjoy perfect weather.

Option 2: "Hawaii is not an American city, but it comprises many islands which in turn comprise cities."

Explanation: This option is correct as it aligns with the text's description of Hawaii as a state made up of multiple islands, each with its own characteristics. The text emphasizes the diversity of the islands, supporting the idea that Hawaii is not a single city but a collection of islands.

Option 1: "No tourist who visits Hawaii will be able to drive safely, because there are no traffic lights."

Explanation: This statement is incorrect because the text does not imply that tourists cannot drive safely in Hawaii. It mentions that Molokai has no traffic lights, but this does not mean that driving is unsafe in Hawaii as a whole.

Option 3: "The island of Molokai is very far away from Honolulu, the state capitol, that is why its population is very low."

Explanation: This statement is incorrect because the text states that Molokai is only 50 miles away from Honolulu. The proximity does not logically support the claim that its population is low due to distance.

Option 4: "The locals from the Hawaiian Islands are having problems dealing with the extreme heats."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not mention any issues faced by locals regarding extreme heat. Instead, it highlights the pleasant weather and the warmth of the locals, which contradicts the idea of them having problems.

Option 5: "Hawaii is not near the mainland United States, but this does not keep it from being a place full of contrasts."

Explanation: This statement is correct as it reflects the text's assertion that Hawaii is geographically isolated yet rich in diversity and contrasts. The text supports this by describing the different characteristics of the islands, reinforcing the idea that isolation does not limit its appeal.
