Reading Passage: A Dystopian Future

In the shadow of the collapsing metropolis, the citizens moved with cautious urgency. Despite the chaos, a faint glimmer of hope persisted in the form of underground resistance groups. These groups communicated through clandestine messages, often beginning their reports with phrases like ‘Furthermore’ or ‘Moreover’ to emphasise their unity. As the sky darkened, the leaders strategised their next move, stating, ‘However, we must remain vigilant,’ which highlighted their awareness of ongoing threats. The city’s downfall was inevitable, yet the resistance believed that, ultimately, change was possible when they persevered and united under a common cause. Their voices, though silenced in the open, echoed loudly in coded messages and secret meetings, illustrating their resilience amidst despair.
