It seems like question 2 of the 'Dirty Britain' comprehension exercise is incorrect.
According to the text: "[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad," the worst Britain could look would equal that seen abroad. Following from that, anything 'more' than the 'least' would surely make Brian look worse than abroad?
If this statement is true, than, the question: "According to the writer, things used to be," should answer "better abroad" and not the given answer "worse abroad."[/FONT]
