Craft and Structure practice question
The village is best seen on foot. Admittedly the road in is steep, and the car park at the bottom is a mile from the square. But the mile is the point: it climbs past the mill, the pound, and the almshouses in the order they were built, so that a visitor arrives at the square having walked through four centuries, and no one who drives in ever sees them.

- B. It argues that the road should be widened.
- C. It describes the mill.
