Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #38697 Short Dharavi
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

So currently we don't know much. But the way this is likely to happen is that under the redevelopment project, all of these 50,000 households will be rehabilitated on about 50 to 60 hectares of land. So the net density of this resettlement area would be about 6000 people per hectare, which is probably going to be one of the densest urban settlements in the world. And the population of Dharavi is twice that number, according to some estimates, which means an equivalent number of people are likely to be displaced due to the project. So for the people who are going to be displaced, as well as people who are going to be rehabilitated, it is going to be quite a disaster, this project.

Option 1: "6000 people per hectare"

Explanation: The text states that the net density of the resettlement area would be about 6000 people per hectare, indicating that this is the maximum density being discussed. This aligns directly with the question about the maximum net density of urban settlements in the world.

Option 2: "6000 people per area square"

Explanation: This option uses the term 'area square,' which is not a standard measurement in this context. The text specifically mentions 'per hectare,' making this option incorrect due to the use of an ambiguous term that does not match the text.

Option 3: "6000 people per city"

Explanation: This option incorrectly refers to 'per city,' which is not mentioned in the text. The text focuses on density per hectare, not per city, making this option irrelevant and incorrect.

Option 4: "6000 people per kilometer"

Explanation: This option suggests a measurement of 'per kilometer,' which is not supported by the text. The correct measurement provided in the text is 'per hectare,' thus making this option incorrect.
