TEST Xth grade

I. Select the best title for the following short passage:

Large areas of suburban housing are located on the edges of most big cities. Homes in the suburbs usually have
more garden space than houses or apartments in the city. There may be more trees, flowers and parks. Moreover, the
roads are often wider and there are always fewer tall buildings. People feel that life in the suburbs is quieter and
more peaceful than in the city: it is supposed to be like country life. Nevertheless, suburban areas may cover up farm
land. Forests and grasslands may also be used for this purpose. Consequently, suburban housing frequently destroys
natural areas and reduces the number of wild birds and animals. It is worth wondering if people who move to the
suburbs really do find what they are looking for.
a) Suburban Life: Country Living within Reach of the City
