There are a few new houses, but they have no local character. You can see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole village, (5)_______, has been tidied up so much that it looks no more picturesque than any suburban street. Question: Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 5.
Option 1: of course
Option 2: despite
Option 3: in fact
Option 4: as a result
Correct Answer: in fact
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The phrase "in fact" is used to introduce a statement that provides additional information or clarification, often to contrast with what has been said before. In this context, it helps to emphasise that despite the appearance of tidying up the village, the reality is that it has lost its picturesque quality and resembles any suburban street.
So, the complete sentence would be: "The whole village, in fact , has been tidied up so much that it looks no more picturesque than any suburban street."
