Reports that the government is about to give the go ahead to plans for the building of a new runway at London’s Gatwick airport have angered local inhabitants / dwellers / occupants / residents and raised fears of increased noise and exhaust pollution.
Yes, the book asks which one is the best for the sentence
Here the definitions ;
inhabitant (n) : a person or an animal that lives in a particular place.
-> a town 11000 inhabitants
dweller (n) : (especially in compounds) a person or an animal that lives in the particular place that is mentioned.
-> apartment dwellers
occupant (n) :
1- a person who lives or works in a particular house, room, building, etc.
-> All outstanding bills will be paid by the previous occupants.
resident (n) : a person who lives in a particular place or who has their home there.
-> a resident of the United States
(Oxford Advanced Dictionary)
As I realised when I was writing the definitons, we can eliminate occupant and dwellers words, but what about inhabitant and resident ?
