defended the action by members of the Green World group. 'If we don't protest, soon
(►) there'll be (there / be) no countryside left,' she told reporters. The bypass is now well behind schedule,
and if the protesters had not held up the work so often, (1)………………………. (it / open) two months
ago. 'If these fields (2)……………………….... (disappear), we'll never see them again,' said Ms Compton.
'Why can't we use public transport? If more people (3)……………………… (travel) on buses and trains,
we wouldn't need new roads. If the motor car had never existed, the world (4)………………………(be) a

But many people in Oldbury want their new bypass. 'If (5)………………………. (they / not build) it soon,
the traffic jams in the town will get worse,' said Asif Mohammed, whose house is beside the busy A34. 'We
