Explanations:Kolkata, a major city in West Bengal, India, has a rich cultural heritage and a diverse transportation system. The city is often referred to as the "City of Joy" due to its vibrant culture, historical significance, and the joyous atmosphere that permeates its streets. This nickname is well-known and widely recognized, making statement 3 true.
Regarding transportation, Kolkata has a mix of modern and traditional modes of transport. The Metro is a significant part of the city's public transportation system, providing efficient and reliable service to residents and visitors. Ships are also an important mode of transport, particularly for travel along the Hooghly River, which flows through the city. However, human-powered rickshaws, which were once a common sight in Kolkata, are becoming less common due to various factors, including the availability of more modern transportation options and concerns about the welfare of rickshaw pullers. This makes statement 1 true as well.
Statement 2, which claims that the transport in Kolkata is limited to the Metro and ships, is not entirely accurate. While these are significant modes of transport, they do not fully represent the current state of transportation in Kolkata. Human-powered rickshaws, although becoming less common, are still present and used by some residents and tourists. Therefore, statement 2 is not entirely true and is excluded from the correct answer.
In summary, the correct answer is option D, which includes statements 1 and 3. Statement 1 correctly notes the declining use of human-powered rickshaws, and statement 3 accurately identifies Kolkata as the "City of Joy." Statement 2, while partially true, is not entirely accurate and is thus excluded from the correct answer.
