Exercise 1
Select the TRUE statement from the list below according to the broadcast.
Select the TRUE statement from the list below according to the broadcast.
This is the true statement. Rupert and Moira repeatedly refer to the small amount of air Rupert has left in his tank. Rupert says "I can't stay too long because I'm running out of oxygen", to "run out" means to "use up" or have no more of something. Example: "Can you go to the shops? We have run out of milk." Towards the end of his report Rupert also says that he is "starting to choke", which means that a lack of air is making it difficult for him to breathe.
This statement is false. Rupert says "aside from the crew of astronauts who accompanied me on this mission, I see no men on the moon". This indicates that Rupert has traveled with astronauts to the moon.
This statement is false. Brent does ask Rupert if he can confirm the existence of a man in the moon, but at no point in the broadcast is it mentioned that the reason for Rupert's report is to look for this man. Rupert never gives a reason for his report from the moon, and actually says that he isn't sure why people continue visiting the moon, as there isn't much up there.
This statement is false. The only thing that Rupert can see on the moon are the other astronauts who are with him, and some geographical features such as craters (marks of impacts made by meteorites) and valleys (low areas between hills and mountains). Rupert insists that he cannot see any sign of human or rabbit presence on the moon. A "footprint" is the mark or imprint left by a foot on a surface.
