Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

CARNIVAL
There are lots of things to do at a carnival. The first thing you do when you get to a carnival is buy tickets, which are also called script. You pay for everything at a carnival with script instead of money. You can use script to buy food like caramel popcorn or cotton candy. You can also use script to play games for prizes. When I go to a carnival, I spend all my script on the best part: the rides. There are many different rides at a carnival, but my favourite is the roller coaster. Roller coasters are thrilling. They go so fast that you feel as if you are flying. All roller coasters are a little bit different, so you never know what to expect on a new one. Some roller coasters have loops that make you go upside down. Some roller coasters have one huge hill. On all roller coasters, at some point you will probably feel like your stomach is dropping out of your body. Although I love roller coasters, not everyone likes them. Some people think they are too scary. Some people feel sick because of the speed and the curves. These people would probably like other rides better, like the tea cups or the Ferris wheel. Some people even go to a carnival and do not go on any rides. They spend all their script on food or games. It seems strange to me, but they say they still have a good time.
