If anything, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has taught us to rethink our
lifestyles and question our need to travel to work every day. After all, in the age of internet,
zoom meetings and webinars can be virtually conducted and physical distancing is possible.
A large nature of work in cities is of tertiary nature, a major part of which can be done from
home. This can affect the way offices function and reduce the need for all employees to be
physically present every day. Information Technology companies are already contemplating a
move of making many of its employees work from home and make this a ‗new normal‘. If
more firms follow suit, the need for huge office buildings and central business districts would
change. Apartments cannot get bigger at the same rate, and people may not have the space or
atmosphere to work from home. This would mean that more people would opt for co-working
spaces close to their homes. This could be a game changer, for it would provide the cities to
better distribute their activities throughout the spaces and rid themselves of the idea of
zoning. Only a handful of professionals are allowed to function from residential zones,
including doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. This needs serious rethinking. Many more
professions of similar nature that do not disturb surrounding residence and have no
requirements of special services should be added to the list. This new work culture would
bring associated demand for food joints, cafés, stationary shops, etc.

Hi! guys I have recently given an Indian Law entrance examination
This passage was asked in the exam and I feel that many answers in the provisional answer key released by them is wrong
(I have given the answers here on gmatclub as per the provisional answer key )
If u find any of these questions/answers debatable plz provide an explanation why it is so.(This would help me as the examination body is considering any objections raised)
