This question from Cambridge 18 has been a bit confusing for me because it is said that "urban farming consumes a tiny fraction of the electricity used by some techniques" but there is not any information or comparison with other types of farming.

However, true answer is "F" in the answer key.

What do you think?

When it comes to this question, the correct answer is "T" because:

Above = disused shipping containers
Below = underground parks

Relatable? 😅😐

🤔 The terms "upload" and "download" have different meanings and are commonly used in the context of transferring data between two devices or systems.

📤 UPLOAD: When you upload something, it means you are sending or transferring data from your device or system to another device or system.

For example, when you attach a file to an email and send it, you are uploading the file to the email server. You can also upload files to cloud storage services, social media platforms, or websites.

📥 DOWNLOAD: When you download something, it means you are receiving or transferring data from another device or system to your own device or system.

For example, when you click on a link to download a file from the internet, you are saving the file from the remote server to your computer or mobile device. You can also download files, apps, or media content from online platforms or email attachments.
