10. a. rich b. the rich c. another rich d. a richB. Choose the correct answer - a, b, c, or d.Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendlycommunity with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly thatalthough in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages arethere, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the inhabitants are country people. All ofthem are commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses isattached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewherewho has little interest in the village itself There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; youcan see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so muchthat it has become nothing more than just another suburb.
