III. Circle best option A, B, C or D to answer following questions (1.0pt)

The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference - now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnipsin winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.

Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life.
