Answer all questions. 1 Cluster 1: Geography in Everyday Life A group of students in the United Kingdom wanted to investigate causes of air pollution in their city area and residents’ opinions on strategies taken to reduce it. They went to the city area on a weekday and used a closed-ended questionnaire survey to collect the views of the residents. They divided themselves into two groups, with one group interviewing the first 50 residents who are less than 50 years old and the other group interviewing the first 50 residents who are above 50 years old. Each group of students interviewed 50 residents. They conducted their questionnaire at the location labelled X shown in Fig.1.1. A copy of their questionnaire is in Fig. 1.2 (Insert).
