1 ‘The Horse Trust’ is de eerste dierenkliniek van London.

2 ‘The Horse Trust’ heeft ooit paarden geleverd die naar oorlogsgebied

3 ‘The Horse Trust’ betaalt operaties voor zieke paarden van Engelse

eigenaren.

De volgende drie alinea’s van tekst 3 staan hieronder, maar niet in de

juiste volgorde.

Schrijf de letters van de alinea’s in de juiste volgorde op in de

uitwerkbijlage.

[a] And let’s not forget the power of the Tesla brand. Tesla stands for

sustainability and amazing performance and Silicon Valley cool. Still,

making the Model 3 a success is going to require expanding the

complexity and scale of Tesla’s operations to an unprecedented degree.

Musk’s track record to date shows he’s well positioned to pull it off.

Whether he actually does is anyone’s guess.

[b] However, it’s also true that an all-new electric drivetrain makes a

radically better product possible. A Tesla car drives faster than a sports

car, and has a trunk in both the rear and the car. The difference between

a Tesla automobile and your run-of-the-mill Chevy is arguably as big as

the difference between the first iPhone and a 2006 Motorola flip phone.

[c] Strategy analyst Ben Thompson compares Tesla’s cars to the iPhone,

which was immediately so much better than what existed that it simply

made everything old irrelevant. Of course, Tesla hasn’t made gasoline

cars obsolete – at least not yet. And it certainly won’t render them useless

practically overnight the way the iPhone did with dumb phones.
