D. To get the chance to talk to more people.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

When looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire, have proved to have millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.

Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance

Gerrard-Wright, dated 15 women to find the one who was his ideal partner. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright, took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensive restaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women's families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each show, he would choose between one and three of the contestants, with whom he had felt the least compatible, and say goodbye to them.

At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn't find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn't see it working, "He wasn't my cup of tea." In another show the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestant's name. "You called me by another girl's name. I can't believe you did that. I really liked you," she sobbed. But in the final show, the woman he eventually chose decided she didn't want to marry him after all. "I think you've chosen me because you have to choose someone," she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love with the show's host!

After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and the show's host Jonsson tied the knot in Sweden. Has Jonsson finally found Mr. Right? Only time will tell. But none of the guests at the wedding could deny the happiness in the couple's eyes as the bride and groom left the wedding ceremony.
