Passage: The British high street has changed beyond recognition. Where once independent butchers, bakers and ironmongers traded side by side, now identical chains line every town centre. Boarded shopfronts have become a familiar sight, especially after the pandemic accelerated the shift to online shopping. Yet some communities are fighting back, championing local makers and turning empty units into pop-up galleries. Question: What is the main idea of this passage?

British high streets are thriving as never before. High streets have declined but some communities are resisting the change. Online shopping has completely replaced physical shops. Independent shops were always better than chain stores.

Correct Answer:

High streets have declined but some communities are resisting the change.
