there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’ choose ‘Doesn’t Say’ (C).

CORRYVALE FARM

Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny Blackler keep cows and chickens and sell
milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny’s sheep.
She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool for six sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts this
wool off the sheep so they won’t get too warm. Five years ago, Jenny made some sweaters with the
wool and tried to sell them at country markets. But it was summer and the weather was hot so people
didn’t want to buy sweaters. She then made some socks. Everybody loved them because they were
cheap, strong and easy to wash.
That’s how Jenny’s business started. At first she made the socks at home, but soon she had thousands
of customers so she had to send the wool to a factory, where all the socks are now made on machines.
There are six colours, five sizes for all ages, and different socks for walkers, sportsmen and skiers.
Jenny is busiest at Christmas because Corryvale socks are a favourite present. On the walls of Jenny’s
office, there are lots of letters from happy customers all over the world.
