(2) nothing / anything is the same.
(3) All / Every the traditional houses are there, of course, and (4) both / most the shops.
But (5) none of the / none of houses are owned by residents. All of (6) they / them belong to city
people, who arrive (7) every weekend / all the weekends in their noisy new cars.
(8) Neither of / Neither the shops sells local goods these days; they have expensive foreign
food chosen by (9) somebody / anyone in an office (10) anywhere / somewhere who has
(11) little / a little knowledge of the region.

There are (12) few / a few new houses too, and they have (13) no / none of local character. You
can see the same style (14) anywhere / somewhere in Europe. In fact, (15) the whole / whole
atmosphere of the village has changed so much that it is (16) any / no more interesting than any
