Observation

This was also a popular question with the candidates, though many of them lost marks because they did not differentiate well. The expected differences are:

-a town occupies a larger space than a village;

- a town is more populated than a village;

-a town has many social amenities, while a village has few;

-in a town, houses are more likely to be nucleated and compact while in a village houses are dispersed;

-a town is a heterogeneous community while a village is a homogeneous community.

The candidates were able to answer the (b) aspect of the question well.
