Questions 15–21: True / False / Not Given
Strategy: Judge the whole statement against the text. FALSE contradicts the passage; NOT GIVEN means the passage never addresses that specific claim.

“Come to Darren's Bike Hire, where a large selection of bikes are all available for hire at only £25.00 a day (cost of basket and lock inclusive)”

All bicycles cost the same to hire.
“Come to Darren's Bike Hire, where a large selection of bikes are all available for hire at only £25.00 a day (cost of basket and lock inclusive)”
A 'large selection of bikes are all available for hire at only £25.00 a day', one price for all.
