IX. Read the following passage and choose the best option to indicate the correct answer.
	Some people have complained about this year’s collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for £6.99, is pretty amazing?
	Fiction – both paths of novels and complete short stories – makes up most of the book. There are some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It’s a strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harris’s Those Nails – this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!
	There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R.S Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is little non-fiction, which includes a very funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an extraordinary piece about herself from Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for once can’t wait to see what next year’s choice will include.
