Read the text again and make notes under these headings: THEN NOW what there was/wasn't & what there is & what the people had/didn't have what the people have got

Решение:

• THEN:
  • what there wasn't: An airport
  • what the people had/didn't have: Donkeys, fishing boats
• NOW:
  • what there is: An airport (implied from contrast)
  • what the people have got: Modern transport, amenities (implied from contrast)

Note: The text directly states what there *wasn't* and what there *were* (which implies what people had access to). It contrasts this with the present ('what it is like now'), implying the absence of those things in the past and their presence now.
