Both are correct.
Sentence A is more detailed in it's explanation, and "life" in sentence B is understood - though not stated.

imantaghaviA) Life in the country is not as busy as life in the city.B) Life in the country is not as busy as in the city.

Imantaghavi can I ask you from which source you are getting this questions, your questions is really informative, ...I like following your pop ups.

Hi Marwa04 and welcome to EnglishForward,

This is an activity from a book called New First Certificate Gold (Longman Publication)- a book for the preparation courses of FCE exam.

Thanks and good luck in you exam, it seems a good book. The reason why I am asking because I am looking for good book to prepare for English grammar.

Hi Marwa04,

What I can suggest you is that grammar is just a reference to which you can refer in the case of a problem and I'd prefer not to read it like an ordinary book.
Since this is the case YOU'd better to take the book called "Practical English Usage" by Micheal Swan.

Hope it helps,

Iman

Thanx I will check that.
