Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below by choosing the correct answers
Developed in New Zealand in the 1990s originally as a means of crossing water, zorbing involves rolling downhill in a large, PVC ball, and an activity which requires no more skill than that of a hamster running inside its wheel. The three metre zorb has two skins, with the area between them inflated to provide effective cushioning and so prevent zorbanauts from hurting themselves as they hurtle along at speeds of up to 50 kms per hour. Zorbers are also hernessed inside the ball to stop them moving around. In Hydrozorbing however, you have to do away with the straps and slide around in a bucket or two of water. The version can be enjoyed alone, or you can share the experience with up to two other people inside the same zorb. But don't be surprised if you get the odd bump or bruise!
