1 ransom: "Ransom" is the right answer. A "ransom" is an amount of money demanded (under threat) as payment for the release of a captured person. Here's another example: "The businessman paid the £4 million ransom for his son, but his captors killed him anyway. You can't trust criminals".
2 encircled: "Encircled" is the correct answer. Other useful synonyms for to "encircle" include "hem in" or in this context "cordon off". Some difficult phrasal verbs today! For example, "The police encircled the area. There was a suspicious package, so they called the bomb squad."
3 loudspeaker: "Loudspeaker" is the correct term here. A loudspeaker is a device that transforms a voice or electrical signals into loud sounds. It increases the volume and is useful when talking to a large group of people, for example at a demonstration or march.
4 rescue: "Rescue" is the right answer. To "rescue" means to "save" or to "recover from danger". Another example of this is: "After surviving three weeks on the side of the glacier by eating his fingers and toes, a helicopter finally came to rescue him."
5 injured: "Injured" is the term we were looking for. To "injure" here means to "hurt" or "cause bodily harm". It is used in the adjective form in the dialogue. The noun is "injury". (Don't forget it becomes "injuries" in the plural). You now know everything about this word!
