7. How was the mountain town where Malala's grandmother lived different from Pakistan?

Explanation

The mountain town where Malala's grandmother lived was different from Pakistan because the women in the town were expected to adhere to strict traditional norms. They were not allowed to look at or talk to men they didn't know, couldn't leave the house without a family member, and were prohibited from going to school. Additionally, the town lacked basic modern facilities such as electricity, which were not provided by the government. This highlights the stark contrast between the conservative and traditional values of the mountain town and the rest of Pakistan.

Since "Flying" is often associated with airplanes, it can be assumed that "Coach" refers to a mode of transportation. Out of the given options, a bus is the most logical choice as it is a common form of transportation that can be referred to as a "coach".
