Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Ответ по сути верный, но можно улучшить естественность и точность. Используйте связующие слова, корректную грамматику (множественное число: 'buy them' или 'buy bikes'), и добавьте конкретные примеры или причины (например, городская плотность, пробки, стоимость транспорта). Держите ответ не длиннее 3–4 предложений и избегайте тавтологии.

The pronoun 'it' refers back to 'bikes' which is plural, so the correct pronoun is 'them'. Also the phrase 'because it's easy' is acceptable but slightly ambiguous: 'it's' (it is) refers to the general activity of going somewhere by bike; for clarity 'because it is easy to get around by bike' or 'because bikes make it easy to go somewhere' would be better. Suggestion: replace 'it' with 'them' to match plural antecedent and consider rephrasing the final clause for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 1 | Grammar problem type: Singular and plural issue
