Read the following extract and answer the questions given below :

But even in a **-free world where every man and woman would earn enough to take care of themselves and their family, there would still be situations of temporary ** due to a sudden catastrophe or misfortune, a bankruptcy or business downturn leading to **, or some personal ** or disaster.

A **-free world might see a whole group of families, locations, or even regions devastated by some shared disasters, such as floods, ***, cyclones, riots, earthquakes or other disasters. But such temporary problems could be taken care of by the market mechanism through insurance and other self-paying programmes, assisted of course by social-consciousness-driven enterprises.

There would always remain differences in lifestyle between people at the bottom of society and those at the top income levels. Yet that difference would be the difference between the middle-class and luxury class. Just as on trains in Europe today you have only first-class and second-class carriages, whereas in nineteenth century there were third-class and even fourth-class carriages – sometimes with no windows and just hay strewn on the floor.

Can we really create a ***-free world? A world without third-class or fourth-class citizens, a world without a hungry, illiterate, barefoot under-class ?

Rewrite the following sentences in the ways instructed :

(i) Temporary problems could be taken care of by market mechanism.

(Rewrite the sentence beginning with ‘Market mechanism....’)

(ii) In the nineteenth century, there were third-class carriages. (Form a Wh-question to get the underlined part as an answer.)

(iii) There would still be situations of temporary ***. (Rewrite it using ‘can’.)
