Read the following passage carefully and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to

Package holidays covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular
because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator
to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing
- you name it - it's all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You
make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local
people. This is even less likely on a coach tour when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of
course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will
probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities. Time is always at your elbow. There
is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never
met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, many people,
particularly the lonely or elderly, have the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on
holiday, which is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.
