Fox hunting is a sport practised by people riding horses 1. They use dogs 2 to follow the smell 3 of foxes. When the foxes are caught, they usually die 4.
1 riding horses: This is the best choice here. Rupert explains that "50 horse riders" are involved in a "typical hunt". A "horse rider" is a person on a horse. Some people "ride horses", some "ride bikes", and some "ride the bus".
1 driving cars: This is incorrect. Cars are not used in fox hunting.
1 riding foxes: This is incorrect. The people who "fox hunt" do not "ride" the foxes. To "ride" an animal is to balance on its back and use it as a form of transport.
1 on foot: This is incorrect. Fox hunters are not "on foot" or "walking" when they hunt foxes.
2 dogs: "Dogs" is the right answer. Rupert says, "we use specially-trained dogs that track the scent of the fox with their noses". Trained dogs can be useful for sniffing out lots of things including foxes, truffles, and class A drugs!
2 torches: A "torch" (UK) or "flashlight" (US) is a small, hand-held light which is useful when you go camping or when your car breaks down at night. There is no mention of this in the radio broadcast, and torches are not known to be used in fox hunting.
2 horns: Rupert says that fox hunters "blow horns", and then demonstrates what a horn sounds like. A "horn" is a musical instrument commonly used in hunting and in the army. However, horns do not help you to follow anything. Rather, they serve to announce that you are there, or to tell your comrades that they should attack or retreat.
2 knives: Rupert mentions that some people enjoy "collecting knives", but this is not related to fox hunting. Knives are sharp implements used for cutting. We use a knife and fork to eat some meals.
3 smell: "Smell" is the right choice. In the broadcast, we learn that dogs "track the scent of the fox with their noses". A "scent" is an "odor" or a "smell". To "track" something is to "follow", "trace", or "hunt" it. This means that the dogs follow the smell of the fox.
3 sound: A "sound" is a "noise". There is no indication that fox hunters follow the "sound" or "noise" of foxes.
3 tracks: This is not the best choice here. The "tracks" of an animal are its footprints: the visible trace it leaves on the ground when it has walked or run over a patch of ground. This is not what the hunters and their dogs follow. Rupert says that they "track" the foxes using their smell. To "track (an animal)" is to "follow", "hunt", or "chase" it.
4 die: This is the correct choice. Rupert tells Brent that "if the fox hasn't had a heart attack from running, then it is usually eaten alive by the dogs". To have a heart attack is to have a cardiac arrest, when your heart stops working. If the foxes don't die in this way, then the hunters' dogs eat them. It's horrific, isn't it?
4 are released: Unfortunately, the foxes aren't "released" or set free once they have been caught by the hunters and the dogs.
4 kill the dogs: This is not correct. Rather, it is the dogs which kill the fox.
4 kill the humans: This is not correct, unfortunately! Rupert does not tell us about any humans dying as a result of fox hunting.
