Transcript:

Passerby 1: Capital of Culture, moving up in the world at last aren’t we. Great for the local economy, what with all the extra visitors. ‘Liverpool, tourist centre of the North’- Well why not? I’ll think I’ll open up a hotel myself. Mind you, I’ve got a friend who’s having real trouble now that property prices are going mad. She's moved up from the Midlands cos she thought she’d get somewhere cheaper here, and now.
Radio presenter: And you, sir, what do you think about Liverpool being Capital of Culture?
Passerby 2: I think it’s brilliant. I mean we’ve already got quite a few festivals over the summer, down by the docks and that. So now we can have a whole year of it and really go for it! I’ll be dancing in the streets anyway.
Radio presenter: And can I ask you, what line of work you’re in?
Passerby 2: I’m in the film business, actually, and we’ve got £6m from the government to build up the industry, so I think this will really put the city on the map worldwide. It could turn us into a sort of mini Hollywood.

Explanation: This option is correct because the text explicitly states that Passerby 2's film business received £6m from the government to develop the industry, indicating a direct benefit from Liverpool being the Capital of Culture.

Option 1: "Government providing funds to nurture wine industry"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention anything about the wine industry. The focus is on the film industry and cultural events in Liverpool.

Option 2: "Government providing money to dance in the streets"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because there is no mention of world maps in the text. The benefits discussed are related to cultural events and the film industry.
