Hi,
Can someone please explain Q 1, 5 and 7?
My Analysis:
Passage summary:
Para1: Gives context of models being unicellular and explanation about the CBD and surrounding areas.
Para2: Explains concentric-ring model and sector model.
Para3: Points out the inadequacy of the model and suggest development of new one.
Q1:
I was torn between B and D.
Choice B: Here I see that Para 1 gives context and then para 2 describes the models and para 3 presents the inadequacy.
But you still need to explain the model to explain the inadequacy.
Choice D: Covers Para 2 and para 3 nicely. Para 1 is the context. So Choice C also seems good.
Can you explain how to eliminate B?
Q5:
Here I had problem with Choice A and D
Choice D: Passage mentions: "Recent years have witnessed the establishment around older cities of secondary nuclei centered on suburban business districts."
I found this pointing towards choice D.
Choice A: This also seems fine as a more generalised statement.
Can you explain how to eliminate D?
Q7:
Choice C:the construction of hospital-medical school complex near a highway fifteen miles from a downtown business district
"hospital-medical school complex" is a regular requirement for a community which is justified to be built away from CBD (as per para 1).
Choice E: the creation of a luxury housing development in a rural setting thirty miles from the center of a city
This also fits the explanation in para 1.
Can you explain how to eliminate C?
Can someone please explain where I went wrong?
Regards,
Ankit

The final paragraph talks about RECENT developments, and the passage concludes with the following: "A new multicellular model of metropolitan geography is needed to express these [recent developments] and other emerging trends of urban growth." So the idea here is that the two older models aren't going to work with these new developments or emerging trends.Can someone please explain Q 1, 5 and 7?

But does the author believe that those two models failed to explain patterns of urban geography? No. In fact, the author would probably agree that the older models do succeed in describing certain patterns -- for example, why certain businesses are where they are, or why higher-income families live on a particular side of town.
The author even says, "neither model fully accounts for the increasing importance of focal points other than the traditional CBD". This suggests that the past models do at least partially work.
The primary purpose here isn't to emphasize the inadequacy of the past models. The author seems to believe that those models have some merit but that a new model is needed to explain recent developments. In other words, the author wants us to understand those past models -- their merits and their limitations -- so (D) is a better fit.
I hope that helps!

The part you quoted ("Recent years have witnessed... ") describes recent developments in older cities. So the passage isn't comparing newly founded cities to older cities. Instead, the passage is describing changes to those same old cities and telling us that we need a new model to account for those changes.Here I had problem with Choice A and D

The author thinks we need a new model to describe these older cities -- that would only be the case if the author felt that the concentric-ring model and the sector model did NOT accurately represent those older cities. So (D) has to go.
