D.
Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean.There are four languages in that tiny country.People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organize
D.The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.
