Reading Part 5: Choose the correct answer.

Between Hale and Moulton (the nearest town about thirty kilometres away on the mainland), there's nothing but small cottages, farmland, heathland and a couple of hills. So islanders don't walk because of that. If they're going to Moulton they tend to take the bus. So the only pedestrians you're likely to see around here are walkers or bird-watchers. But even from a distance I could tell that the figure ahead didn't fit into either of these categories.

Q: In 'because of that' in line, 'that' refers to the fact that

• 1. locals think it is odd to walk anywhere.

• 1. it is easier for people to take the bus than walk.

• 1. people have everything they need on the island.

• 1. there is nowhere in particular to walk to from the island.
