The technological change that has caused other media outlets to【C1】______has given the BBC new scope for expansion. It has a huge online presence and an increase of digital television channels and radio stations. With a(n)【C2】______of around 23,000, it is the largest broadcaster in the world.

Britons are 【C9】______resistant to radical ideas. As the 20th century showed, that is, by and large, a good thing. The danger, though, is that 【C10】______organizations wither and die. The media business is one of Britain’s strengths. If it is to stay that way, the BBC needs to change.
A. staff B. naturally C. residents D. unreformed
