21. Question: Read the following text carefully and then choose the correct answer:
    Malek crossed the Plaça de Catalunya in the intense heat of the afternoon. The city square was
    teeming with tourists and locals and he found the noise startling. Back home in the countryside,
    life moved at a gentle pace. On any given day, he never saw more than a handful of people.
    When Malek had announced his intention to leave his home state for the first time and
    travel alone to Barcelona, everyone tried to talk him out of it, but he was determined. It was a
    dream since childhood to visit the great football stadium, Camp Nou. And now, in his early 20s,
    he was making it happen.
    Malek slowly made his way across to the underground station and checked to find the platform
    for the Green Line. 1 He checked his phone for the eighth time to confirm the route: northbound
    to a stop called Les Corts, then walk about ten minutes to the stadium. Amplified by the
    enclosed space, the commotion of Plaça de Catalunya was nothing compared to the clamour in
    the underground. Malek was swept along with the crowds and eventually fell into step with
    those heading in the same direction. As 2 they descended the stairs to the tunnel, their footsteps
    echoed. Malek was relieved to reach the platform at last.
