Which of the following is/are correct labelling of \(P\), \(Q\), \(R\), \(S\), \(T\) with respect to the illustration of a section through a given city?
Show Hint
Match built form to function: stacked parking floors with cars = multi-level car parking, ground paved edge along the building = footpath, elevated enclosed bridge = skywalk, level walk beside water = promenade, elevated rail track = mass rapid transit corridor.
Step 1: Read the section from left to right.
On the left is a multi-storey structure with a car parked on every floor and a ramp like face, which is the built form used for stacking parked cars over several levels, a multi-level car parking. \(R\) marks this stacked structure.
At its base, \(Q\) marks the paved surface at ground level running along the building, which is the footpath for pedestrians.
Partway up the building, \(P\) marks an elevated, enclosed link projecting out from the upper floor, which is the typical form of a skywalk, an elevated pedestrian bridge that lets people cross above ground level traffic.
Further along, at grade next to the water body, \(S\) marks the level walking surface that runs beside the water on both banks, which is a promenade, a paved walk built along a water edge for people to stroll.
On the right, \(T\) marks an elevated track carrying two rail cars above ground level on raised piers, which is a mass rapid transit corridor, an elevated metro or rail line built above the street to keep it clear of ground traffic.
Step 2: Test each option against this reading.
Option (A) calls \(R\) a footpath, but \(R\) is the multi-level parking structure, not the ground level walk, so (A) is wrong even though its \(S\) - Promenade and \(T\) - Mass Rapid Transit Corridor readings are correct.
Option (B) gives \(P\) - Skywalk, \(R\) - Multi-level car parking, \(S\) - Promenade, matching Step 1 on all three counts, so (B) is correct.
Option (C) calls \(R\) a mass rapid transit corridor and \(T\) a multi-level car parking, which swaps the two structures, since \(R\) is the parking block and \(T\) is the elevated transit line, so (C) is wrong even though its \(Q\) - Footpath reading is correct.
Option (D) gives \(P\) - Skywalk, \(Q\) - Footpath, \(T\) - Mass Rapid Transit Corridor, matching Step 1 on all three counts, so (D) is correct.
Final Answer:
Options (B) and (D) give the correct labelling of the city section.
\[ \boxed{(B), (D)} \]
