Consider the following abstract for an academic journal article:
Mega-events, such as the Olympic Games and world fairs, are a major factor in tourism

attention has been paid to their impact and legacies. This article provides a discussion of the
scope and definition of mega-events, an analysis of the reasons why mega-events are held,
and offers an examination of the housing and social impact of mega-events on host cities
and regions with special reference to the housing and social planning of the Sydney 2000
Olympic Games. The article concludes that the focus on the economic dimension of events
is often at the expense of social, environmental, and political analyses.

questions he has asked of the text:

1. "What are the qualifications of C.M. Hall and J. Hodges?"

Question 33
Although it's easy to see why allowing an elementary school child to have a cell phone would
be convenient for after-school pickups or arranging playdates with friends, there is too much
evidence to show that it's generally not a good idea. Children already have a lot of access to
media (on average over seven hours per day) and it is the parent's responsibility to monitor
their media access, which is more difficult if the child has exclusive cell phone access.
Cyberbullying, which is increasingly becoming a problem, is also going to be a risk when
your child has unlimited access to a smartphone. Clearly, elementary school-aged children
are not emotionally mature enough to handle the responsibility of a smartphone, and the
borrowing of a parent's cell phone should be highly monitored to ensure safe and healthful
usage.

"The growing use of AI in society does not preclude job growth. There are those that argue
that, instead, the use of AI will lead to new forms of employment. For example, because

act as mediators between AI systems and humans (Bollegala, 2016)."
