1 When Stafford said that he was going to walk the Amazon, many people thought that b) he would die if he tried to do it ( Когда Стаффорд сказал, что собирается пройти Амазонку, многие подумали, что b) он умрет, если попытается это сделать)

*Согласно тексту: "They [people] said there was no way any human could survive such a long and dangerous journey" (Они [люди] говорили, что ни один человек не сможет пережить такое долгое и опасное путешествие.)

2. What is not true about Stafford's journey? c) The batteries he had to carry weighed forty kilos. (Какой факт о путешествии Стаффорда не соответствует действительности? c) Аккумуляторы/батареи, которые он должен был нести, весили сорок килограммов.)

*Согласно тексту: "A lot of this weight was batteries..." (but not all the weight!) - "Немалую часть этого веса составляли аккумуляторы..." (но не весь вес!)

*Согласно тексту: "they avoided an attack by agreeing to pay the community chief to be their guide." (они избежали нападения, согласившись заплатить вождю общины за то, чтобы он был их проводником.)

5. What was the main reason that made Stafford go on this expedition? a) He wanted to be the first to walk the Amazon. (Что послужило главной причиной, побудившей Стаффорда отправиться в эту экспедицию? а) Он хотел первым пройти Амазонку.)

*Согласно тексту: "... no one had achieved anything like it before. That was a good enough reason for doing it" (никто не достиг ничего подобного раньше. Это была достаточно веская причина)
