much money was lost when the villagers left
most of the villagers died of starvation
no one will miss the place
he himself had planned to retire there

This choice can be confirmed by the following lines in the poem:

O blest retirement, friend to life's decline,  

Retreats from care that never must be mine..."

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.
