Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Read this excerpt from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde and complete the sentences that follow. GWENDOLEN (Looking round. ): Quite a well-kept garden this is, Miss Cardew. CECILY: So glad you like it, Miss Fairfax. GWENDOLEN: I had no idea there were any flowers in the country. CECILY: Oh, flowers are as common here, Miss Fairfax, as people are in London. GWENDOLEN: Personally I cannot understand how anybody manages to exist in the country, if anybody who is anybody does. The country always bores me to death. CECILY: Ah! This is what the newspapers call agricultural depression, is it not? I believe the aristocracy are suffering very much from it just at present. It is almost an epidemic amongst them, I have been told. In these lines, Gwendolen says that people who live in the country lack. Cecily indicates that people in the city are.
