How long after its founding did Ryanair begin operations?

• A. One year
• B. Zero years
• C. Two years
• D. Three years

Answer: (A)

Think about how a new company goes from an idea to actually flying. Ryanair was established in the mid-1980s and started operating flights about a year afterward. That short gap between being formed and taking to the air is why the correct answer is the one that indicates roughly a year later. If a longer gap or no gap were true, it wouldn’t fit the real timeline of Ryanair’s beginnings. So this question tests your recall of how quickly Ryanair moved from founding to its first flights.
