Read the text for questions 10 to 13.

The French capital, despite efforts to deal with litter, graffiti, and pet mess, is grubbier than ever. Parisians living on the Boulevard Saint- Martin, a main east-west axis north of the Seine, has just found that the plane trees along their street has been “tagged” with graffiti. But it’s not new. Apartment doors, shop fronts, flower boxes, benches, and lamp-posts have been covered in tags for weeks. Months even. Along the boulevard to the landmark Place de la Républiqu looks shabby, despite a £20m facelift six years ago. The pavements are littered with abandoned electric scooters and bicycles, and punctuated by pet mess and cigarette ends. Several men often open new packets of cigarettes and throw the cellophane and silver paper on the ground. The city of light and romance has now become a dirty old town, or as locals have nicknamed it, Paris poubelle (dustbin Paris). City Hall spends €550m a year to get rid of the estimated 16 tons of pet dirt produced each day by the city’s 200,000 pets, 350 tons of cigarette ends, and empty 30,000 bins. And still the Paris poubelle nickname sticks.
