Consider the following case study and use it to answer the question below: A passenger arrives at the airport and goes to the airline desk to check in. The passenger presents their ticket, and passenger services checks the validity of the ticket. If the ticket is valid, the airline produces a boarding pass, which gives the passenger permission to enter the restricted area of the airport and to board the airplane for a particular flight. If the ticket is not valid, the passenger is not allowed to fly and is referred to booking/reservation services. The boarding pass identifies the passenger, the flight number, the seat number, the date and the scheduled time of departure. While the passenger is boarding the airplane, the passenger's luggage is simultaneously loaded (checked in) into the airplane by the airplane staff, organised according to the luggage number. Some passengers only have hand luggage, so their luggage is not loaded together with the luggage of other passengers. Once the passengers have boarded the plane, the air traffic controller gives the pilot instructions to prepare for take-off and to move the airplane to a particular runway, or 'taxi' the airplane in preparation for departure. Using the airport check-in and boarding narrative provided, draw an activity diagram that represents the process described.
