Reading Comprehension

[asantamariat]

Hi Teachers,

I was doing the reading comprenhension quiz, unfortunatelly the web page doesn't allow me to paste the link here

and arose a question after I read this:
Airbus orders unveiled on Monday included Qatar Airways confirming a $16bn order for 80 A350 Airbus planes and ordering three A380 super-jumbos for about $750m.

The question is Qatar Airways ordered, so I chose 83 planes because are 80 planes of a model and 3 of another (that's what I thought) but I got that answer wrong because the page display me the answer was 3 planes.

I'm confused because of I don't know whether either the web page result is wrong or not

Qatar Airwats ordered only three planes. They confirmed an order for 80. Personally, I don't like the question. If they confirmed an order for the 80, then I think it is not unreasonable to say that they ordered 83, if the initial order needed confirmation.

You can't post links until you have posted ten times- it's a security feature to make things harder for spammers.
