opgave 4Tekst 4 From: M J Scott-Bolton

Text 4 is a letter emailed to The Sunday Telegraph Editor. The last paragraph was deleted.
81p
Which of the following would be suitable as a last paragraph?
A I, for one, have always maintained that the EU has been beneficial to Britain all along. It is
high time we started appreciating the benefits of Brussels directives instead of indulging in
cheap Europe bashing, which seems to be fashionable in Tory circles.
B It is no surprise that, when questioned by pollsters amid the suburban sprawl that this
government has encouraged, most people are in favour of banning hunting. After all, a ban
would make the countryside more attractive.
C I voted Labour in the past precisely because I expected a Labour government to use
parliamentary time to tackle the huge problems created by the Tories in areas such as health
and education. I did not expect them to squander that time on irrelevancies such as country
pleasures.
D The proposed abolition of hunting and hare coursing (and other field sports which could
follow), together with the right to roam, will do more to bring about the destruction of the
countryside and wildlife than any other development that can be envisaged.
