Which of these indicates that Mexico is a global city?
a. It has the tallest skyscraper in Latin America.
b. It has continued to grow for 20 years.

我在b c d 不知選哪一個
在第二段 不管怎麼說 Mexico is a global city. 之前面整段都是在講population
所以覺得是d
Mexico 也曾主辦過國際賽事 覺得這跟global city 也有關
最後一段 提到過去20年 ... center of international importance...
有個international 又覺得好像也是有關
...前面一段省略
The three decades that Porfirio Diaz was in control of the country, toward
the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, led to
a French influence on the architecture of the city. About this time, the
stunning bronze Angel of Independence was built to celebrate the first
centenary of the beginning of the War of Independence.
The expansion of the metropolitan area of Mexico City has been astonishing.
In 1900, there were 344,000 residents. By 1940, the population bad
increased to 1,670,000 and by the year 2000 it had reached 18 million.
By any interpretation of the expression, Mexico is a global city. Quite
apart from the size of its population and its cultural and economic
importance in the Americas, Mexico has also hosted on summer Olympic Games
(1986) and two soccer World Cups (1970 and 1986).
In the last twenty years, Mexico City has continued to grow as an economic
and cultural center of international importance, which has in turn led to the
construction of new skyscrapers in the downtown area. Mexico now boasts
Latin America’s tallest building, the Torre Mayor, and a rebuilt World trade
Center Mexico, originally the Hotel de Mexico, which was built in the 1960s.
Which of these indicates that Mexico is a global city?
a. It has the tallest skyscraper in Latin America.
b. It has continued to grow for 20 years.
c. World sporting events have taken place there.
d. It has growing population.
