LUCKY ESCAPES (INTERMEDIATE)

Exercise 1 

The true cases are numbers 2 and 3; the first story, involving the anaconda, has been invented. (Anacondas do live in rivers in the Amazon, and can grow to the size described in the text, but there have been very few confirmed cases of attacks on humans. Also, the idea of cries of help being heard from a kilometre away, and of the members of an Amazon expedition not having ‘any kind of weapon’, might have made the students suspect that the story was fictitious.)  

Exercise 2
1. rifle    
2. slope   
3. dragged   
4. standing   
5. rucksack    
6. injured    
7. kayak 
8. shot    
9. injuries   

If the sentences have been completed correctly, FORTUNATE will read from top to bottom.
