Answer 1

Answer:

a=The countryside of the village is referred to as 'village rustic' here.

b=bad show

c=A village is usually a smallish grouping of houses and other buildings whose boundaries, though vague, are roughly defined. The writer used 'rustic' as it implies an old-world charm, pleasant, sunny and relaxed; a place where you can revel in nostalgia for a past, more genteel, time.
