Sigourney Weevil is a British journalist. What would an American call the type of coach which Sigourney writes about?
Sigourney Weevil is a British journalist. What would an American call the type of coach which Sigourney writes about?
This is not the best choice. A "car" is a small, private vehicle or taxi. Most "cars" only have room for four people. This term is used in both the UK and US, and is not the American equivalent of "coach".
This is not the best choice. A "hovercraft" is an "air-cushion vehicle", usually driven by propellers. Hovercrafts can travel at high speeds over land or water. This term is used in both the UK and US, and is not the American equivalent of "coach".
This is not the best choice. A "tunnel" is an underground passage, such as the tunnel under Mont Blanc, or the tunnel under the English Channel, which links Britain and France. This term is used in both the UK and US, and is not the American equivalent of "coach".
"Bus" is the right answer. In British English, a "bus" is a large vehicle used for short journeys, usually within one town or city: "I caught the bus home when I left work". Also in British English, a "coach" is a large vehicle used for long journeys: "I'm travelling from London to Inverness by coach. I'm going to take sandwiches!". In American English, both of these forms of transport are described as "a bus".

1 basics: This is the right answer here. "The basics" represent the essential, key information needed to make something happen. Example: "I'm not an expert on biology, but I do know the basics. That is a leg, not an arm".
1 bases: This choice won't work here. "Base" has many meanings; generally, it is a point of support for an object, force, or ideology. For example, the "base" of a cup is the lowest part of it. "Bases" is the plural form.
1 buses: This choice won't work here. A "bus" is a large vehicle used as a form of public transport. You can write the plural as either "busses" or "buses", but neither makes sense here, I'm afraid!
2 to: "To" is the right answer here. The verb "to refer" always takes the preposition "to" afterwards. Another example would be "Please refer to the manual if you need more information about how to use this product."
2 of: This is not correct. The verb "refer" cannot be used with "of".
2 at: This is not correct. The verb "refer" cannot be used with "at".
