Some are going even    18    by taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are an important source of in-depth news and ideas. If newspapers were to entirely disappear, there would be    19    to take their place.

10. A. a B.an C. the D. /

11. A.it B. its C. it’s D. itself

12. A. Although B. Because C. If D. Unless
