Passage 1
Study the material below to answer Question 1 parts (a)–(e).
THE SITUATION
The Stucco family lives in a leafy suburb of a tropical African city. They have just purchased a large, rambling six-bedroom house, with a separate self-contained annexe for the ageing parents of Mrs
Stucco. The property is bounded on three sides by other similar houses and a two-metre high fence, and on the fourth by the feeder road. Unfortunately the previous owners allowed the huge 60 metre by 60 metre garden to become a wilderness after many years of neglect. It will require a complete makeover. The family has approached a number of garden consultants, and has chosen one who has offered them four totally different layouts. Although Mr and Mrs Stucco both have well-paid jobs, their family has many overheads, hence their budget is limited. The chosen garden will also require an outside contractor to do the weekly maintenance.
